Severn Sound launch - 1980
Episode 619, Dec 29, 2012, 05:54 PM
Enjoy the early moments of Severn Sound, 'holding a mirror' to Gloucestershire on 23 October 1980. Great Alfasound jingles too; and always nice to hear a new ILR launch marked in the IRN bulletin.
The early days were, sadly to be beset by tragedy, with the suicide of the station's first MD, Graham Moon; and in 1983, the death of two engineers on an outside broadcast.
