1125: A 1990 Day in the LIfe of Radio 1

A whole day snapshot of a confident Radio 1 in August 1990, kicking off with that five minute secret dawn montage of jingles. Turned a generation of paperboys into anoraks. Tough to believe that it wasn’t altogether that long ago when you could hear Lindisfarne kick off a day on the Nation’s Favourite. And a touch of Doris Day later. This line up saw Brambles, Mayo, Bates, Schofield, Davies, Wright, Goodier, Peel, Campbell and Harris. Huge energy; Jam jingles; production-intensive; ‘1FM news in touch with the Gulf Crisis’; ‘every oldie’s a baldie’; and Philip Schofield worrying about the DAT machine. Saved for posterity by an intrepid Neil Rudd.
