BBC RADIO MERSEYSIDE
- Description
- At 12.30pm on 22nd November 1967 a specially composed jingle by Gerry Marsden announced the arrival of BBC Radio Merseyside the country’s third and largest local radio station. BBC Radio Merseyside was one of a series of eight local stations set up in various parts of England with the stated intention of providing an intimate localised service.
BBC Radio Merseyside’s editorial area embraces the whole of Merseyside (Liverpool, Bootle, Birkenhead, Southport, St.Helens etc.) much of North Cheshire (Chester, Warrington, Runcorn, Widnes, Ellesmere Port) and West Lancashire (Skelmersdale, Orrell, Burscough, Ormskirk). The station can be heard further afield, notably in North Wales, the Isle of Man and Ireland. In freak reception conditions we have been heard as far away as Scandinavia and Canada! - Website
