Radio Floss broadcast from North West London on 1350kHz / 222m between late 1979 and early 1985. Some of the station staff then re-appeared as Three Borough Radio later in 1985 on the same frequency of 1350kHz, but later moved to 1125kHz.

| 1983_04_02_sat_floss_1350am_1215-1400_debbie_the_phone_girl-gh455.mp3 New Aug 2022 | The station, normally only heard on a Sunday was unusually heard on Easter Saturday 2nd April 1983 as an additional broadcast. This is a partially airchecked recording of 'Debbie The Phone Girl' between around 12:15 and 2pm. She announces a lot of local information. The recording was made from 1350kHz in the car whilst on the move around West London, hence the airchecks and odd fade. |
