mikeG Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Monday at 10pm it was the Jack Jackson Decca record show, followed at 10.30 by Pete Murray with more Decca. Capitol had a half hour slot at 10pm Tuesday. I had a crystal set which gave intermittent reception but upgraded to a transistor in 1958. Hidden under the bedclothes so parents couldnt hear it - or so I thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hardworker Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 I remember it well, listening under the covers and losing reception all the time. It also had advertising and jingles which we used to sing along to. I have never lost my love of the radio - one of the cheapest pleasures in life. Now I listen to Radio 4 and learn something new every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
