The 'Friday Rock Show' (hosted by legendary Tommy Vance) played a significant role in the rise of the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal, which came to dominate the show by the early 1980s.
The show generally included a studio session or live performance each week, arguably being the main reason fans tuned in.

Excellent/perfect quality radio broadcasts.
