1980.

| 1989_01_01_sun_wmr_1150-1325_jackrussell_irish_closedowns-ghe575.mp3 New Oct 2023 | On the day after the AM and FM dials went silent in Ireland following legislation, here is Jack Russell on New Years Day 1989 making his comments on the empty wavebands, and taking a long phone call from Paul Graham. The recording starts with the end of the German Service, and then a few minutes of Steve West. Unfortunately the tape runs out just before sign-off. |
