This recording of Cork City Local Radio (CCLR) was made from 1830-1900 on 27th December 1982 and features the end of a marathon show featuring the Top 100 songs of the year. DJ Brian Downey has come to the of a long shift and signs off before the jingle at the top of the hour.
In September 1982, CCLR added an FM transmitter on 95.6 MHz in line in changes in radio listening. We have no record of the frequency from which this recording was made but it sounds like FM mono. Perhaps the tape recorder was set to mono on that day, or CCLR may not have had a stereo encoder yet.
