Aboard
the Galaxy
Oct 1st 1966 was the first day of a revised programme
schedule for weekends, launched as "The New Sound' with a specially-made Kenny Everett promo. Breakfast was one
hour shorter, with 'London After Midnight' extended by an hour. The Fab Forty
still to be presented regularly by Stewpot, now ran from 1100 to 1400 and included
a half-hour sponsored show, 'It's a Dog's Life'.
A new customised PAMS package (series 31 - 'the Music Explosion') was purchased
to enhance "The new sound'. Series 31 included 'Go-go, go-go, 'The top
forty sound of wonderful Radio London', Radio London means more and more music
on wonderful B-I-G-L', 'More music (more music) on Big L - Big L' and 'At sea,
the mast with the most'.
The first day's line-up was
0530 Tony Blackburn
0800 Tony Windsor
1100 Ed Stewart
1400 Kenny Everett
1700 Mike Lennox
2000 Pete Drummond
2300 to 0200 Alan West
Pete Drummond, who had joined Big L on September 27th, was given a terrific first climber – What Becomes Of The Broken Hearted by Jimmy Ruffin
(Thanks to Brian Long and Alan Field)
