Indeed, yet FM radio, which countries around Europe in particular are trying to turn off in place of DAB and others, is still going strong. Around a third of radio listeners use FM while DAB is slightly more popular again. For all the stations that are available online, a large majority still prefer listening to radio broadcast over the airwaves. Not sure why, convenience I guess.

Too many adverts.

I'm sorry but it is in this thread, its the law!


But seriously, since I started he thread I kinda knew it would throw up a whole bunch of stuff that people listen to and in that time have sampled quite a few of people's recommendations.

Boom is a cracker (no pun intended) as is Planet Rock.

The adverts for many of the shows out there are a bit of a pain but a quick thumbing left and right on my wireless and you can miss all that stuff out
Radio Luxembourg seems a distant memory.

The BBC have done us all a favour by getting whatsherface in and shaking the place up, except themselves of course.

Greatest Hits Radio even with the adverts is miles better than what Radio 2 has become.

But do not knock Boom Radio if you are like myself north of 60, they play some decent stuff and the presenters are well informed and sensible.

A very subtle joke on Boom today, somehow make up came into it and David Hamilton threw in a “Woman, Stanley, woman”. A reference to one of Coronation Street’s finest lines.
Stan Ogden after giving Hilda a little kiss… What’s that lipstick taste of?”
Hilda….”Woman, Stanley, woman”.
What a double act they were!!
