BBC Radio London (Early 80s)

bbcradiolondon.gifBBC Radio London launched in 1970 and lasting with this name until 1988.  It became Greater London Radio (GLR) for the next 12 years.  2000 saw it relaunched as BBC London Live.  A year later and another name change, this time BBC LDN and then BBC London 94.9.  Am I the only one who thinks BBC Radio London is the best name for it? 

BBC Radio Solent (Early 90s)

A really good looking, clear, well-designed sticker for BBC Radio Solent.  Some would say the broadcast frequency is missing.  I prefer the less cluttered approach.

BBC Radio Sussex (Early 80s)

bbc radio sussexFormerly known as BBC Radio Brighton - and covering just that town, it expanded to cover the whole of Sussex in 1983.

In 1994 the station expanded to cover Surrey, Sussex and North East Hampshire and was relaunched as BBC Southern Counties Radio.

Thames 107.8 (2003)

thames_1078.gifShort-lived sticker this one. Issued in early 2003 - rendered useless 6 months later.  The station was relaunched in late 2003 as 107.8 Radio Jackie.

Thames FM (1997)

thames_fm.gifLaunch sticker for Thames FM.  Originally based at studios in Hampton Wick (Kingston-upon-Thames) it was sold in 2003 for a nominal sum and the station moved to the old Post Office building in Tolworth Broadway.  It was relaunched as Radio Jackie soon after.

107.8 Arrow FM (2003)

arrow_fm.gifGeneric corporate looking sticker for Hastings ILR Arrow FM.  I suppose the yellow circles could be the direction of an arrow.  Shame on me for sounding like an anorak again!  I don't wear glasses and a bobble hat, honest!

According to the station, it has, "The best variety of music, news, sport and information for Hastings and 1066 Country".

KM-fm West Kent (2004)

kmfm.gifPlaying the best music variety eh?  Is that different to other stations claiming they have today's best mix of music or more music variety.  Everyone seems to have the best!?! 

The station started its life as KFM in 1995, later becoming Mercury FM around 2000 and eventually becoming KM-fm 2-3 years later.

Plymouth Sound Radio (1991)
