One thing thats always turned me off about British pop/rock radio is the obsession with the inane `personality` DJ, who loves his own voice, talks incessantly about nothing, constantly interrupts songs and plays constant stupid jingles. Even as a kid the only thing that was important to me was the music. Still is. Lucky I was a rock, not a pop kid! Unfortunately records used to cost more than radio batteries!
This brings back memories of the early 60s. Hard to believe that this station was the only one playing pop music that could be heard in Britain - and only in the hours of darkness! I remember that the reception in the North of England was poor, lots of fading and interference. There were no UK commercial radio stations or Radio One, and Radio Caroline didn't start up till 1964.

What a great station 208 was! I listened to it constantly in the 60s when I was in Europe. Thanks for uploading this.
