It's early January 1978 and there's some decidedly wintry weather for the first week of Radio 2's re-vamped day-time line-up which moved Pete Murray to lunchtime (swapping the mid-morning slot with Jimmy Young) and saw David Hamilton's afternoon show start half an hour later, running from 2.30 to 4.30.
As you'll hear, at 4.30 I leave the tape rolling as I re-tune from Radio 2's FM frequency to Radio 1's appalling 247 metre medium wave frequency for the start of DLT's drive-time show.
One point of interest - the Radio 2 newsreaders also had to double up to present Radio 1's news summaries on the half-hour during the 1970s. So, after reading Radio 2's 4 o'clock bulletin, Colin Berry turns up with the 4.30 summary on Radio 1.

Thanks for watching - and listening! :)
