I used to answer the phones on Sportsround Saturday radio stoke in about 1984 to 86, and remember the place and people with fond memories. Wish there was a way to hear the old Sue Manning Music and the later Chris Ellis jingles.
I also remember during the National Garden Festival, BBC World Service's Outlook programme came from the festival studio, which I'd encouraged as my Dad was working at World Service. Radio Stoke were to provide a "news about stoke" insert, which had to be recorded in 1A, and the tape whisked to the festival for broadcast as lines were hard to set up. The lead story was a bomb scare at Crewe station, however as we were going down in the lift, we heard it had been a hoax, and the station was open, a very quick edit was made to the end to say it was a hoax, as there was no time to re-record, so Radio Stoke speaking to the world was a little out of date!
I also remember helping the engineering team under Simon Penfold, and an engineer whose name I can't remember, designing the SODIT (Studio Operated Device for Insert Timing) which was a BBC Micro, bar code reader, and a bit of magic on a Mark III desk. I remember assisting with a little bit of computer program debugging on that very clever device, and widely adopted within Local Radio (I think).
Regards to all who might remember me. -
