Yes -- I remember The Petticoat Line. I always loved the radio--loved pop music etc as well but thought loving the radio was normal. I moved into a flat with some girls and just assumed everyone else tuned in to Radio 4 all the time -- what a shock to realize their morning radio program of choice was ..... TONY BLACKBURN!!!!!!! Oh horrors!

One of the nice things about living in Maine is the Saturday morning NPR line up is nearly as good as the old Radio 4 - Car Talk - then the political comedy program with Carl Castle and Peter Seigel and then Michael Feldman -- can't be bad.
