“It’s 6 o’clock, it’s November the sixth. It’s 1987. And this … is Hilltop Radio broadcasting across … across the town on the … on the 1079 … on 1079 on the a m wave band … wave length…yeah…
Well I hope you can hear us OK out there … Can you? This is our first night … our first exciting night, coming to you live. This is the start of a new listening era. Hilltop Radio will be the voice of the town … and when we get a bigger transmitter, the surrounding area aswell. We’ll be broadcasting every night from 6 o’clock to 9.30 and 9 to 5 on the weekends and bank holidays. There’s gonna be news, views … chat from local personalities and most of all music. The music you want to hear. Are you tired of the same old sound? Then keep it here on 1079. Hilltop Radio.
We are the Radio Luxembourg of Shropshire … but there’s already a Radio Shropshire … they beat us to it … so we, are Hilltop Radio … the radio station with a view, broadcasting live to you from our hilltop hideaway. I can’t tell you where it is exactly … it’s top secret… we are, you see, pirates of the airwaves… shiver me timbers, pieces of eight … we are, a little bit illegal … but don’t worry … it’s not illegal to listen – I don’t think so anyway … well how would they know? Unless you happen to live next door to a policeman and you’ve got your radio turned up too loud … so if you do, keep it turned down low, just in case …. Our secret location does also mean that there won’t be any postal competitions I’m afraid, until we can get ourselves a PO Box. But you can call us on 54..6 … actually we need to think about that a bit too probably…but um … anyway that’s enough from me for the moment…. my name is Shane, that’s not my real name by the way… you’re listening to Hilltop Radio and this … is Duran Duran …
