[peel] Re: Question about Shows

[John Bravin]

Here's my theory. In 1971 Top Gear moved from the weekend to two nights 
a week as part of Sounds of the Seventies. It moved to FM and strange 
though it may seem today, I'm not sure I had an FM radio in my bedroom. 
So listening on AM in the evening was crap due to interference - it 
worked for Radio Luxembourg in the 60s as the music was throwaway, but 
although I recorded Peel on Saturday afternoons I'm not sure I bothered 
in the evenings.
