The show played a significant role in the rise of the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal . It had the additional good fortune of being able to "borrow" the 88-91 MHz FM transmitters of BBC Radio 2 , allowing listeners to enjoy the music in the best available quality for the time, before Radio 1 finally acquired its own FM frequency in 1988 . By 1993 the introduction into Britain of a much wider choice of television and radio channels had made heavy metal more accessible and the show less important, and Tommy Vance left Radio 1 to join the original line-up of Virgin Radio . The show ceased soon after. |
