This page gives an opportunity to hear some of the station idents and promotions. They are in no particular order, or follow any strict chronology, but are split into four chunks for ease of playing.

Most of the items are from the days of closed circuit programming, so there are references to broadcasting for "nearly 40 hours a week" and even a reference to the original allocated wavelength, 312m - never used because of heavy interference from Radio Caroline.
