Actually on a point from above, there doesn't seem to be the audio equivalent of YouTube out there to upload audio material to and have it available to stream as and when required. Maybe the authorities are worried about mass uploading of copyrighted material.
I can't remember which one, but there is one upload service that will stream the audio you upload as well as allowing people to download it. Or at least that used to be the case.
It's not well known though and yes there would probably be copyright concerns.
I have sooooooo much radio material that I will probably never get around to properly archiving it. Everything from the Irish pirates of the 80s, to the new Irish legals of the 90s to the even newer Irish pirates of the 00s - interspersed with dozens of recordings of UK/USA/Offshore stations and the full first days programming of Dublin's Capital Radio (now FM104), Atlantic 252, Cool FM, Virgin 1215 - all mainly archived on Hi-Fi Videotape. Also with the 20 anniversary of the closedown of the Irish Superpirates looming on the 30th December this year, I have the closedowns of a couple of dozen stations including the last full day from both Sunshine 101, KISS FM 103.7, and KITS 101 FM in Monaghan. At almost 41 years of age, maybe I should now get a life!!
Got 2 carrier bags full of tapes of all sorts of stations in the loft. Mainly 79-84-ish. Can't bring myself to get rid of them. If I had the time I'd mp3 the lot up.
I've three boxes of various recordings ranging from Mike Allen's Capital Radio Rap chart, Robbie Vincent's Jazz FM and some LBC and Talk Back stuff including calls from that bloke from Tottenham Court Road, Bob's Tea Break and snippets of the final Midnight Encounters.

I know its sad but i have my old tapes of my old radio shows i did on Centresound Radio( stirling 1990 Sunday oldies show and Top40 show its funny hearing the old jingles, ads, trailers old flightwatch, and old ITN radio news bulletins ah! the memories.
I've dug out a load of old 90s stuff, including The Storm (which had a really good selection of music didn't it?), Galaxy NE from the early days, loads from TFM (including Steve Harris playing Shakira and Gareth Gates), few local RSLs... and I'd love to store them digitally. What does one need?!
For those that no longer have a working cassette deck, you can buy a dedicated Tape to PC player.
Having made some great discoveries on YouTube I only wished I'd taped more TV/radio in the 1990s. Pity clunky VHS and C-90 cassettes were the only option at the time.

I also have some old jingles and recordings from 96.4 The Wave, back when it was Top 40. I transferred them to CD in 2004 - they're somewhere in my house.
I still have alot of stuff I taped onto cassette going back to the 70s, but what state it's in, I don't know, as I haven't played any of it for about a decade.
I used to record some of the old Radio One documentaries - eg.10 years after Monterrey, from 77 - and there was a Saturday Lunchtime music magazine type show which had interviews with the big rock stars at the time. Also a weekly 2 hour show where famous bands and singers were the DJ, playing their fave records - got a few of those.
Then there's the extracts of Roger Scott's and Nicky Horne's shows on Capital I recorded. Got lots of those, from late 70s to early 80s. :cool:
Also stuff from LBC in the 80s and 90s, parts of shows - Steve Allen mainly - with a whole tape of IRN News Bulletins during the Falklands war in 82 (as I was studying History and G&P at the time).
I have over 100 tapes full of Radio bits, jingles, news idents, mainly ILR stuff with the odd bbc locals and Luxembourg. Radio 1 during the good days to......

Would love to transfer then on to cd but would take ages. ho hum.... still listn to some now and then, radio was so good and excitng then unlike now as it seems to be ONE station with RELAYS everywhere!!! biggest load of s***!! 10/10 to Jack FM putting the sparkle back into Radio....:D

It's Paul Conroy, Steve Denyer and Alistair Whitehead.
I've got a few G101 'collections' (mostly Galaxy network Live OBs, a few local stuff) on C-90 etc.
PM Me if anyone's bi-curious.
