James H and Dave Ward were the funniest thing on radio, but Mark and Lard later raised the bar.

I remember James H Reeve once introducing Becky Want (sexy Bexy) as the only woman who wears more make-up than Marcel Marceau.

Medium wave and long wave was replaced by AM

261 was Piccadilly Radio on the Medium wave (261 m)

Radio one was also on Medium wave once (247 m back in the day but also broadcast on LW too earlier.) <a class="postlink" href="http://frequencyfinder.org.uk/r1_transmission.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://frequencyfinder.org.uk/r1_transmission.html</a>

Hands up who remembers Roger Day and Phil Wood.

Phil was so funny that I had a cassette clock radio and recorded him while I was at school.

because it was 261 MW....

It began broadcasting on 2 April 1974 as Piccadilly Radio on 261m (1151 kHz then) AM/MW

AM replaced LW? Nonsense... Still get both now...
