BBC Radio Stoke is a BBC Local Radio station in England, for the area of Mid and North Staffordshire, North East Shropshire and South Cheshire.
The station began broadcasting programmes from Conway House on 14th March 1968 as BBC Radio Stoke-on-Trent.
"One of the station's first producers was a young Owen Bentley, who has since had a long and successful career with the BBC. Here he looks back to 1968, and remembers the opening day of BBC Radio Stoke...
