TIME FOR ANOTHER BREAK...

ByANDY FLEMING, Webmaster

Thanks are due to Neil Siddaway who has contacted the Metro Radio 261MW 97VHF Tribute website again with more commercial breaks.

So once again, it's time to keep the shareholders happy with another tranche of advertisements aired on Metro Radio in the late seventies. Neil of Middlesbrough in Teesside has lovingly taped programmes, jingles and commercial breaks from the station and most importantly has kept them all this time and has indeed built up a superb audio archive.

Please enjoy these latest recordings, that are nearly forty years and thanks once again to Neil, of whom we're heavily indebted.
