Giles Squire promo - Metro

In just a few seconds, this promo sums up a time and place in radio. Giles Squire, later to be a leading light in commercial radio programme management, sells in his programme on Newcastle's Metro Radio to the listeners.

Using his poshest voice, Giles gives us a complete menu of all the things which made up his show, and every other commercial radio mid-morning show back then: music, interviews, helpful hints and star signs. He did spell out clearly the station's target audience explicity (women); a focus lacking in some stations back then, but curiously refers to them in the third person.
