Hat tip to Mike Barraclough for sharing a link to this audio/video montage on the BBC website celebrating the 40th anniversary of Independent Local Radio (ILR) with air check clips from stations across the country.

Even if you have never lived in the UK, there’s some serious radio nostalgia in this montage.

Many of these ILR stations still broadcast today, and you can listen to the majority of them via TuneIn radio.
