Imagine the scene, it’s Tuesday September 5,
1978, you’ve just arisen from bed ready for work and it’s time to make a cuppa
and switch on the radio tuned to Metro 261!
In the seventies, Metro Radio wasn’t twenty four
hours a day and closed down after James Whale’s Night
Owls Phone-In and IRN News at 2.00am on a weekday. At about 5.50am each day blasting out
of the ether would be a short start-up sequence complete with the Metro Radio Song, which gave a fantastic choral account by the PAMS Singers of Dallas, of
the station’s primary service area and raison d’etre.
Metro Radio Start-up Sequence including Good
Morning and Metro Radio Song, (taken from the 1974 PAMS of Dallas jingles package,
available here or on the Jingle Pack Download Page).
