Kiss 105.5 FM
Brian Parsons aka Zuppa Inglese did a show on this station. I am guessing around 1988. More information needed.

Evidence shows that the station was on in 1999 and 2000, and we think it was run by Chicken George from PCRL fame. Watch this space. Presenter list: Chicken George DJ Weetamix Sammy Goulbourne Daddy Cool Daddy Studio DJ Yellow Pages Maria Del V

Jacobs
There has been a few record shops over the years on Alum Rock Road. Cowers (1967-1969), J. Hawtin (1967-1974) and Turn-On-Record (1973-1974) were all situated along the same stretch. We are guessing Jacobs was during the 30s.
