Vanessa's awful, Evans is mega, Ken's awful, Vine is good, Wright's awful, Mayo's ok. I like Radcliffe's folk show, Whiley, Lisa Tarbuck and Trev Nelson.
R6 I like for the music but Keaveny gets right on my tits and Lamacq's a bit charisma-light.

Still can’t accept that I’m in the R2 demographic so my radio habits are largely confined to:
- R4 70%
- Kiss / Capital Radio 20%
- LBC 10% ( or less if James O’Brien comes on - at which point I turn off straight away)Posted 7 hours ago # -
I can’t believe that Op Yewtree hasn’t knocked on Wright’s door yet. I live in hope.

Radio 2 is becoming MrsEd's go to but it annoys me as most of the DJs are tits and sometimes you get about two or three great tunes, but then a load of garbage from the 70s and 80s that everyone forgot for good reason
I want radio music stations with lots of music and minimal chat, not too much to ask is it? DJs who are supposedly knowledgeable about music I spot talking opinionated bullocks

Had to drive from my house in leafy Surrey down to the New Forest for a spa weekend .
Downloaded some Danny Baker for the journey.
Still as good as ever.
He shall be our companion for future car journeys.
In the shop we listen to Richard Searling on Radio Manchester.
The I player is a wonderful thing.

SW is hardly a "prick". A bit Mrs Brown Boys maybe:-)
I just flick randomly depending on mood, as probably most do. That lass that does BBC Leeds Breakfast though, gaarghhh.

The phrase "... which is new to me" tacked onto the end of title/artist makes my teeth itch. Keaveny, I'm talking to you, d'you hear?Posted 6 hours ago # -
I just can't get enough of "you've got the love" by "the source feat. candi station". I've only listened to it every day since 1989 but just can't live without it it's my favourite.

For years it's been R4 weekdays, 5 Live weekends. Now I've finally got into internet radio my heads exploded with the choice. Romanian hip-hop anyone?

Like a lot of people I was listening to R1 as a kid but got board with it as I got into 90s dance music. So the only radio I listened to we're Manchester's Kiss fm and Stu Allen's show on Key 103 ( which I could only pick up in the attic, being quite a bit further north from Manchester :-))
Then it was on to daytime R2 or 5 live.
Then I discovered R4. And then 6 music after Radcliffe and Maconie moved from their R2 evening show.
So it's just R4 and 6 music now. Oh and R1 on Friday evening for some banging tunes.Posted 5 hours ago # -
Radio 2 was great, circa 1997-2010
Mark&lard daytime, Jonathan Ross on a Saturday morning
The russel brand show was genius.
And the station featured occasional input from mark lamarr of a 1960's freak beat style.I still enjoy listening to Jeremy vine, even though I feel that he's not spending enough time seeking out new music. The playlist seems more perfunctory than passionate.
Speaking of playlists, why does it take so long for the name of the band/ song to appear as 'now playing'?
They've drawn up the playlist well before the shows have aired, surely they can sync things up better?

Radio 4 for comedy, documentaries and current affairs
6 Music for, er, musicAnd, of a Sunday evening when I'm cooking the roast...
Heart 80s. Yeah, bite me

It's jobs for life at the BBC. The likes of Johnnie Walker and Tony Blackburn FFS should have been
taken out and shotsacked when they were made obsolete in 1977.Posted 4 hours ago # -
I wish 6 music was better. Play a song, then spend 10 minutes interviewing someone from an obscure band about how they made some obscure track, play another song, tell me all about the obscure record label.. oh yah, we're so into music here.. **** off.. just play the damn stuff and shut up.

Why have someone talking between music?
My listening is as below
Radio 4
Spotify
Podcasts
Audiobooks

Finally got enough data and set the phone up to use streaming in car.
Using Google to play Amazon Music in Android Auto sort of works, but there's a significant communication barrier between Google and Alexa

Radio 4
Radio 3
used to like 6 music, but not enough music.Linn Jazz is an excellent suggestion too.
If you know nothing about Classical music, then Radio 3 is, believe it or not, very open and accessible - a real education. Classic FM much less so. I'm serious. You won't learn about music listening to CFM.

Am i the only one to defend a few of the older djs, Steves show i like as well as Ken,Simon, Jo, Mark, the funk guy from corrie, the seventies coke guy show and lisa
However the ginger loud guy, vanessa or cluadia should all be stuck in a field with horses
Almost forgot the c4 jumpsuit one with the strange mouth

Been working from home lately so have the radio on. Don’t mind Steve Wright at all, not changed since I last heard him about 20 years ago mind, but inoffensive and some good music.
When at school we won an area “make your own radio programme” and the prize was a visit to the bbc to visit a DJ. We met Steve Wright and he had loads of time for us even taking us to the canteen for some tea.Posted 33 minutes ago #
