...that's right: Peel /Radio 1 was simulcast on FM by the old BBC Radio London from 8.30pm in the early eighties (83-85 for me), because the station closed down at that time  and "joined Radio 2 on FM". I remember listening to Black Londoners with Alex Pascall, a bit of politics, then it joined David Jensen on R1 (in FM!) at 8.30, and Peel came along at ten...
