In the 1970s, '80s and '90s Britain witnessed what many in the
business saw as the second great age of radio. It was a period when
FM radio blossomed and local stations opened and broadcast across
the land. It was a step away from the output of the national
broadcaster, the BBC, which had held a monopoly on the airways
since its inception. Broadcaster, station manager and regulator for
over forty years David Lloyd was very much a part of this
revolution and is, amongst his peers, well placed to tell that
story. Lloyd describes the period as one of innovation, his aim to
create a timeline of radio of this era through to the present day,
to capture those heady days, the characters, the fun and heartache,
life on the air, life off the air. And to revisit those station
launches, company consolidations, the successes and the failures.
Told with the insight of an insider, with his characteristic wit
and a huge dollop of nostalgia, David Lloyd brings to life a unique
age in broadcasting in this fascinating account.
