UK Commercial Radio Timeline 1992-1993 

We went from dull radio to exciting radio in the 90s, now back to dull.

Lincs fm and Iconic station, was sad when it got took over by Bauer and Hits Radio in April 2024 as Lincs FM was my local station

3:22 & 4:13 This Jingle is Also Used by Radyo Natin FM Philippines

10:06 - The Star 101.6 jingles were re-done by JAM few years later when they moved to 106.6 FM 13:00 - The Sunset 102 jingle was sung by Lisa Stansfield and was produced by LBS.

Cool video upload

It certainly sounds like JAMS were kept busy here

12:19 and 4:34 the radio stations I grew up with, RIP

0:39 I really thought the beginning had a rickroll

9:42 Appears that they are mentioning Radio 1 at that point, by saying that the station (in this case, what was then Virgin 1215 (later Virgin Radio, turned Absolute Radio)) was the first new national pop and rock station in over 25 years, Radio 1 having launched about 26 years earlier in 1967.

Again, a lot of stuff happened in a 2-year period. How surprising! 0:27 Seeing the end of Orwell was a tragedy for the Ipswichers, but hey, at least they now had SGR! 1:26 Despite having "Pirate" in it's name, Pirate FM was not a pirate station. 2:28 Though WGMS is a backronym, it sounds like an American Station callsign. 2:48 It seems like Surrey had some big reorganising of radio! 4:34 That made me jump. (Because of how loud it is) 4:52 Reuse of TFM's jingle from the 1985-1989 video, impressive. 5:02 9:20 Clever how you used a supersized signal for the nationwide stations, because just taking a normal-sized signal and scattering it across rural areas would make a mess, Lol! 5:19 The network consolidation being that Signal Cheshire was merged back into Signal Radio. (I guess) 5:39 First West London, then Bradford, and now Leicester. 5:47 The music sounds like it came from a 90's sci-fi film. 6:25 The announcer did a funny mess-up there! 7:22 Delta Radio was relaunched in 1996, but closed again in 2010. This also officially means that County Sound's American-style shield was phased out. 8:15 Radio 210 slightly removed the reference to their MW metres on their FM service at that point. 8:57 Reuse of TFM's jingle again. 10:03 The longest radio station jingle I've heard so far. 11:23 Reuse of Isle of Wight Radio's jingle. 12:18 Reuse of Isle of Wight Radio's jingle again, with a little twist. 13:18 The first time that a radio timeline has ended with a station closure.

The nationwide commercial licenses wss the start of the slippery slope towards the eventual end of most locsl commercial radio stations in the UK. Sad we have the likes of Capital FM, Heart and Smooth, Bauer FM and Bauer AM putting out the same output almost 24/7 on ex local radio station frequencies apert from local news, travel, local adverts and a limited local breskfast and/or drivetime on Monday's to Fridays and perhaps sport 2pm to 6pm on Saturday's and Sunday's. How long before everything local that still remains disappears and the whole lot is broadcast from a single studio in London? A real shame. It's far too much about profit now, the big companies who have made them almost 24/7 have driven away most of the listeners who loved their once local ilr's.

Listening to the majority of those jingles, they all sound as if you'd heard them on Radio 1 back in the day.

Idea: Adding the dates of a station changing their frequency (e.g. Central FM switching from 96.7 to 103.1)

Have you or are you able to do one of Pirate stations?

When will the next one be uploaded?

Can you UK commecial 1993-1999 upload please

Halfway done with the next Episode?

Is 1994 going to see the launch of heart fm in the midlands as it starts to go all over the uk?

7 minutes in is channel 103 using a reworked radio 1 jingle from the late eighties.

Do something else please Great video anyway

Due to how prominent it was in UK culture as the "original" UK commercial radio station, an honorable mention should be made on December 30, 1991 for Radio Luxembourg on 1440 AM ("208"). That was when English service of RTL closed and was replaced with German-language Oldies station "RTL Radio" which made it a simulcast of 93.3 & 97.0 FM serving the country of Luxembourg. That station changed to a Hot AC format in July 2015 and the FM stations are still on the air to this day. As for the 1440 AM transmitter, that shut down for the last time a few months later on New Year's Eve, December 31, 2015.
