Here is a selection of promos, adverts and jingles from 1982 and 1983. There is also a snippet of news read by Elinor O&#8217;Brien and a clip of Tony Weldon introducing Teatime Special. The jingles are from an Alfasound package and the voice of Bill Mitchell is hear on sweepers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>WLR broadcast on 1197 kHz AM (announcing 252 metres) and 88.8 FM. It was a professional station with a more community-focused approach than its main rival, ABC.
