Radio...agenn (4 replies)
Being done a hundred times before but I'm hoping somebody can tell me I've got it all wrong and there's a plethora of stations worthy of my attention out there.
Like tv, we’re all going down the streams of our choice route now that cars are equipped to do so. I’ve still got time for irreverence and the unexpected that radio can offer, especially when I’m driving which I do quite a lot of. The time I can tolerate any given station for is decreasing by the day though and I spend more time waiting for the internet radio to connect with a station than I actually do listening to one.
6 Music: I was a fanboy for a long time but there’s a bit too much dance type stuff being played for me. The rave generation has hit its 40s and they need something reminisce about while they mundanely big box/little box their way through the day. I can take it in small-medium doses but some of it is just shyte and shouldn’t be anywhere near a public service broadcaster.
Virgin: Too commercial, too middle of the road, they don’t have ad breaks but then the station is just one long advert for Sky…and it’s got Chris Evans and his self-obsessed crew at the helm. I’m not even sure why I’ve put it on the list.
Local commercial radio: Dead for longer than I can remember
Union Jack: Started off promising but it’s sunken so low that they now play ads halfway through the songs and then go back to the song when the ad has finished.
Absolute: The most annoying DJs since the old and much derided Radio 1 jocks. The morning guy thinks that everything he says is funny.
Talk Sport: If the SHA poster known as ‘Mad’ had his own radio station, eh? It’s just people saying barmy things and trying to make out they're being serious.
Not including niche stations playing music made from power tools and heavy industry type noise samples, tell me there’s something different that I’m missing?
