Settings Sign out. Most stations produced a programme aimed at their female audience in mid-morning and there were also locally-made educational and schools programmes. The stations were only expected the supply four or five hours a day of their own output: the remainder would come from either Radio Two or Four, or sometimes Radio One. But the stations soon exceeded expectations, especially with a range of shows aimed at specialist and niche audiences and communities.
These ranged from amateur dramatics, to gardening shows, from oral history to teenagers' debates. Owen Bentley, Programme Assistant at Stoke-on-Trent, recalls a particular minority programme: 'The Esperanto Family Robinson', which involved a local headmaster recording conversations with his family in Esperanto in their front room on an old Ferrograph machine, which Owen then edited down.
Interestingly there was no expectation for the first stations to produce their own news content. Local news agencies provided stories for most of them: Radio Merseyside worked out a deal with the Liverpool News and only Radio Leeds after battles with BBC management were allowed to recruit their own reporters. Although the stations were working hard to connect with their local listeners and encouraging them to get involved, it was difficult to build the audience.
This was partly because local radio was only available on FM in these early years. This meant buying a new radio for most families - although some could listen via their television sets using the relay system provided by Rediffusion and others. The fragmented schedule, with a wide variety of different programmes, made it hard for listeners to find their favourite shows. There were other obstacles too. In many locations, the local press were either disdainful or - in Leicester's case - downright hostile, fearing competition in the news market.
The Station Manager at Radio Leeds, Phil Sidey, claimed that the only way he got his station's name in the local paper was to buy a greyhound called 'Radio Leeds' and get it into race reports!
