I don't think any of the long standing black community station's had started that early the only one I know of then was JBC and possibly DBC may have still been on sometimes?

Wasn't it "Rock To Rock" that came out of Wood Green(ish)?

Lightning? - I'm sure that was up & running way before Station started up on 101.5.... don't really recall it being off for long periods either... I thought they came on around the time of Powerjam 92.... now what ever happened to THAT!!!....... someone must know???

Your right lightning was January 1989 but as I said before they have a break and they had 3 years off from about 1997 till about 2000?
