TIME FOR YET ANOTHER COMMERCIAL BREAK!

ByANDY FLEMING, Webmaster

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

So once again, it's time to delve into the anals of north east broadcasting nostalgia for another snapshot 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.

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