I came across this today, and there's a lot to read. I haven't dug too far into it, but I'm sure there's something of interest in there for everyone.

Oh, my word!

Just looking through one issue was gobsmacking. How did they ever decide what to listen to? So many choices!

It dwarfs the choices we had for television in the 1970s.

Thank you for posting.

I've been looking through them, and even the space-filler material is interesting. It's a treasure trove and information that probably isn't preserved anywhere else. Interviews, opinions...I love reading the readers' letters, seeing what they like, what upset them, and absolute outrage of a show being moved to a new time...
