Used to be a Radio 4 man until I felt Humphries got too big for his boots. Love 5 Live and totally relate to Peter Allen - the archetypal grumpy old man! However, sport content rather limited. Talk Sport. Loads of sport content but the adverts drive you nuts (no disrespect to our esteemed mod!) Discovered Radio 4 Extra. Re-runs of old classics like 'Yes Minister', 'Dad's Army' etc. No sport at all but a good listen nevertheless. Current flavour of the month is Talk Sport for as long as I can bear the adverts. What about you?
on way to work...world service during the day...national radio for the news..radio sport..radio live..the edge and the rock really depends on my mood truck has a cd player so might just play cds.. too many ads on the radio here too in london it was radio 5 capital or london(esp for robert elms)
Five Live on the commute, unless the cricket is on, in which case it's Radio 4 Long Wave. Five Live Saturday mornings - love Danny Baker's show, then Fighting talk. Aside from that, it's CDs or the iPod. Don't ever listen to music radio unless I am forced to do so by my kids on a car journey. In which case it's either Capital or Heart.
Radio 4 extra at times during the day Radio 5 live with Peter Allen. 5 live on the half hour for sport updates and in the evening for commentaries and the odd footy related show (that doesn't include Claridge). Danny Baker's show and Fighting talk on Saturday morning. Can't stand .... Nicky "The Ego" Campbell or Alan "Let me drone on and on about my pet hates whilst I should be commentating" Green.
Here's a present for everyone who doesn't know this ... i have one mac pumping this out with the HD screens regularly ... I urge you try it the playlists are always on the money for me: http://www.radioparadise.com
Classic FM and Radio 3 for quiet time and Radio 4 normally but agree 4 Extra is good for a laugh. Radio London if i can't make the game 94.9FM Never listen to TalkSh#t anymore. Utter rubbish with rubbish presenters with a 'pea' for a brain and too many adverts. TBH it was the best thing i did by giving up Talksh#t.
R4 on in the morning so that the kids get to hear the Today Programme and understand what is going on in the World 6 Music on perm in the office, plenty of mixed up stuff the right side of alternative and no chart rubbish 5 Live or whichever BBC local station we're on for mid-week or weekend games when not on SKY although Alan Green does my head in I prob listen to 10 times the amount of radio compared to television viewing as I find the majority of TV output to be complete drivel. There is however a complete dearth of decent wireless debate / chat programmes though and even Front Row is trying to get down with the kids now.
Agree with that, Nicky Campbell sends me into a rage. Was hoping he'd be involved in the current BBC scandal and permanently removed from the air but no such luck.
Wubba with you there ... I am off sick at mo and have cleaner working so went downstairs so she could get on ... turns on the tele ... Why do these new presenters move their hands so much with essential precise movement and a extra dose of tone of keywords ... yes on essential keywords ... yes on the fact that the rocking chair may not make it's reserve at auction ... find out after the break ... I have cnuts in my attic
I really cannot stand Alan Green, complete self opinionated old duffer fool, like a mad old uncle with too much wine
As a chartered surveyor (code for immensely boring) I make lists. Lists of properties, materials, costings. Then I make lists about music, film, books, cars(no saabs), food, places etc etc. I run a list of television programmes acceptable to watch, outside of that I can be found in the garage greasing nipples and playing Iggy & the Stooges rather too loudly for rural Derbyshire. Thats where my grandfathers old bakerlite wireless groans into life although 6 Music not obtainable in that medium. Not much better on a Saturday if not watching us lose than tinkering wih cars, a mug of tea and 5 Live on BBC4 I have found to be very good and anything during the week on BBC2 after 10pm. Anything 'Britains got no X-Factor Talent Strictly on Ice' fails to even register and I am particularly aggreived how BBC breakfast television somehow constitues such tosh as news.
And don't get me started on politicians, the rise of terrible coffee shop chains, Simon Cowell, the French, modern 'cider', people who say 'step change', pretty much any chart music of the past 10 years, Gary bloody Barlow, HMRC, vehicle exercise tax and the SORN extortion racket, European Tendering Rules, Nissan Micra's, my bloody clients and Mark Hughes. And relax.............
