In the lead up to the wavelength changes (or frequency changes, take your pick) in November 1978 the BBC publicity machine went into overdrive. In this post you can hear a selection of the musical, comedy and celebrity based promotions.

  • Instant Sunshine
  • Radio 2 changes with Larry Grayson
  • Mari Griffith on Radio 4 in Wales
  • Changing metres not meters - can anyone identify the voices?
  • Radio 2 changes with Johnny Mathis
  • The Jason Explanation of Wavelength Changes with David Jason and Sheila Steafel
