"LBC on 261. Pass it on."

(showing my age here!)

Then there was Capital Radio's "Flying Eye" Russ Cain, whose flight area
over London was so severely limited by air traffic control as to be
almost useless.

The traffic information had to be gathered by traditional (terrestrial)
means and passed to Russ Cain, who broadcast it from the air as though
he was seeing it himself. Complete ********, but a lot of fun. ;-)

Hehe, Heart and Magic seem to be pointless at times during the weekend
you'll be lucky if you get travel news once an hour. LBC seems to do it
every thirty minutes even on Sundays. I know during the week they seem to do
it from 6am till 10pm, not sure about the weekends.
