... that the first song played on That's 60s was the same as BBC Radio 1 over 55 years earlier, and both by Tony Blackburn? Source: "As he did when he launched Radio 1 back in 1967, Tony chose the song Flowers in the Rain by The Move as the first track to play on That’s 60s." [1]

I'll review this. BeanieFan11 (talk) 19:33, 29 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

General: Article is new enough and long enough

QPQ: Done.

Overall: @Ritchie333: New enough, neutral, sourced, no copyvios detected. Hook is cited and is interesting. QPQ done. Article seems a bit stubby, and only barely passes by the length requirements (1564/1500) – is there anything else that can be written about this channel? BeanieFan11 (talk) 19:42, 29 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I've added a bit more from various sources, taking up to around 1750 characters. There's this link which criticises the poor picture quality and questions what the channel can do that YouTube can't, but I can't cite from that. Hopefully some more reviews will turn up that we can cite. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 08:48, 30 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Good enough

@Ritchie333 and BeanieFan11: Seems like this hook may be stuck because the wording is awkward. Could we try something like:

ALT0a: ... that the first song played on That's 60s was the same song Tony Blackburn had played on BBC Radio 1 over 55 years earlier? Cielquiparle (talk) 13:10, 20 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thoughts? Could someone weigh in and/or approve ALT0a if it looks ok? Cielquiparle (talk) 07:56, 23 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I will approve. The Hook (ALT0a) is interesting and cited. Lightburst (talk) 20:03, 31 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
