KEEPING THE SHAREHOLDERS HAPPY WITH 3 BUMPER COMMERCIAL BREAKS!


ByANDY FLEMING, Webmaster

Once again, many thanks are due to Neil Siddaway who has contacted the Metro Radio 261MW 97VHF Tribute website again with three mega montages of commercial breaks.


So we're once again about to embark in our magical time travel machine on a journey of north east broadcasting history, and take another look at some snapshots of social and economic history from a late seventies perspective on Metro Radio. 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.


Enjoy these advertisements and if you have any material you would like to share via the Metro Radio 261MW 97VHF Tribute Website, no matter what the quality (we have ways of digitally cleaning it up!), then please don't hesitate this friendly historical website. We are starting to gain thousands of visitors many of whom are listeners and former presenters, and any material you possess I'm sure would bring nostalgic memories flooding back!

Submitting material couldn't be easier either via e-mail attachment, a free file hosting service or by post. To submit audio visual material and/or your memories or for inquiries, please contact the site here


Many thanks,

Andy.
