Here we have an off air recording of the launch of Radio Wave in Blackpool, including the final minutes of Test Transmissions. These were pulled by engineer Pyers Easton at approximately 6.57am leaving around 2 minutes of dead air. Just before 7am a reel to reel tape machine burst into action with a montage of the new Jam Jingles followed at exactly 7am by a short speech from Managing Director, John Barnett. Then, Breakfast Host Neil Sexton introduced the first record, Tina Turner's The Best. This file contains the whole of the first hour of Radio Wave.
