My look at a Cold War radio story barely known outside Italy: "Oggi in Italia", the 1950s&60s station with an audience of millions. It's been written about in Italian, but there's almost nothing in English. https://t.co/wrXrIThC0L @claudioc @aborgnino @italradio @MediaHistoryNow

@SimoninSuffolk Don't *actually* remember the 1976 Radio 210 launch with the late Paul Hollingdale (as I was still in Radio City land) but have heard a cassette recording, from when this town had a local commercial radio station... #reading

[Alan Pennington @alpendx]

50 years ago today, 8th March 1976, the new independent local radio station for Reading and the Thames Valley, Radio 210, launched on 1430 kHz, but named after its medium wave wavelength, 210 metres. #OnThisDay

@SimoninSuffolk Walrus & Carpenter pub was previously The Cock - renamed when fish market moved around 1983. Was a pub in 1922 re: https://t.co/u6x0LCVqCI (not sure why has current Lewis Carroll name / theme?).
