Though in the eighties, me standing ready for hammering 'record/play' on
a C90 cassette, it was amusing to record the Sunday announcer handover
from Radio 2s 'sing something simple' to Radio 1 for the Top 40. It was
typically delivered with a kind amusing almost patronising warning for
them with fragile ears.

But surely Pick of the Pops pre-dated R1?

When R1 started in the London area, the transmitted quality was rather
better than average AM - if you had a suitable receiver. Until
international agreement limited the bandwidth on that frequency.

I have a tape somewhere with a simulcast - R1 AM on one track, and R2 FM
(mono) on the other, both from Quad tuners. With rather less difference
than you'd expect.
