The original Horizon Radio broadcast
soul to London
between 1981 and 1985.
On their final day, Sunday 15th September 1985,
the last studio show was followed by a live outside broadcast from Harrow
Leisure Centre.
The station had decided to close in order to apply for one of the specialist music licenses
for London.
================================================
Two reports from October 1985 about the voluntary closure of Radio
Horizon and other 'pirates'
so they could apply for a specialist music license.
