@owlstalk Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Anyone remember Radio Hallam broadcasting Sheffield Wednesday reports in the days before they became Hallam FM and handed all the local sport to BBC Radio Sheffield? Radio Hallam broadcasted on 194 medium wave from their offices in Hartshead in the City Centre (just next door to the Sheffield Star building), and local football was a way more important part of their brodcasting than it became later More on Radio Hallam here - https://www.sheffieldhistory.co.uk/forums/topic/90-radio-hallam/ Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very dedicated team who loved their sport and loved providing the service. A total lack of "expert" ex-player summarisers - the United guy was a retired teacher as I remember.
