Also over the years, they had lots of voice overs/liners/sweepers from Larry Thompson, Bumper Morgan and others……
There were one or two cuts from the 94Q package in the 252 test transmissions. Never herad them again when the station launched!
The ’97 package Ben mentioned were the resings of Chicago’s Dance Beat for B96. They were used as Top Of The Hour ramps…
Anyone remember the cut that was sung “the station that sounds so much better than you know who…Atlantic 252” ? Classic!

I heard Robin Banks play one A252 cut from The Edge package once…….
Cheers guys, I presume both Thompson Creative packages were custom? Neither have a demo on their website.
Although the original demo for 252 was called Europower, it later became known as Ultrapower –

The ’97 resings came from http://www.thompsoncreative.com/audio/contemporary_jingles/Chicago%20Dance%20Beat.mp3
We had a lot of fun making up some of the liners … including the vox “Hi I’m Dick and I listen to Radio One … Don’t be a dick make sure you listen to the best music on Long Wave Radio – Atlantic 252 etc etc … ah memories.
Bumper Morgan did some great liners for 252:
“If the car next to you isn`t playing LWR Atlantic 252….moon at `em…”
