Leon Sumbitches Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 I love the radio, maybe more so than TV, perfect companion for washing the dishes/cooking/cleaning and so forth. Mainstays are Beeb Radio 3 and 4; also the local auld folks' '60s/'70s station, which veers from the ridiculous to the sublime. It's a lucky dip. Overall with Radio 3 and 4 in particular I feel like the content's a lot less likely to talk down to the listener than with some equivalent TV stuff, I always learn new things and come away feeling like I've been, ahem (dons tweed jacket with elbow patches) culturally enriched. Obviously there's some wank as well but overall I'm consistently blown away by the range of interesting programmes and vast archives of really well-made stuff. Blessedly free of advertisements as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeAreOceans Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Only a couple of local Internet stations now and then like NTS Manchester and Reform Radio. My work kitchen used to have BBC Radio 6 on which I quite liked but a couple of years ago was relegated to a local rock station called XS. They play the same damn "best of" play list crap over and over. Ennui every time I get a coffee. I'd you're a rock fan, wouldn't you want to listen to hidden gems and B-side shit too? Don't get it.

Tricone RC Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 CBC 1 fairly often (talk/magazine stuff, imagine a mix between BBC radios 2 and 4) when I'm working from home. Quite miss BBC radio tho, yes I know I can get it thru the net but it's <i>not the same</i> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get it. their motto is "Rock Without Prejudice" lol TBH they have a much more diverse playlist then most American rock and pop stations.

beerwolf Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 I love the radio, maybe more so than TV, perfect companion for washing the dishes/cooking/cleaning and so forth. . Same for me. I just find I get instantly annoyed and irritated as soon as I switch the tv on. 95% of the people on the box just get on my goat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaartenVC Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 No. Over here there's not a single (or very very few) good radio station(s). Listening to radio here is hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Member Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Pretty much the same here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghOsty Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Internet radio on occasion like NTS and such, but as for actual brodcast? Nah... Broadcast radio around here absolutely sucks, 90% of it is owned by ClearChannel communications so it's all heavily watered down to their formatted playlists of what they think a station should sound like, most of which all sounds pretty much like the same old shit regardless of what station you're on.

Guest Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Radio for music? Listened to it, recorded it, on Saturdays there was that new great stuff called Acid House. Later, IDM was not covered by my local radio stations. But hey, I bought records, preferably purple ones. From then, Radio is only for talk/news. WDR2 german station for me. Not expecting good music. I want music in radio to not annoy me. It should run in the background without me noticing. For random music and hope to find something unexpected, I rather use Spotify. But good things come unexpected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
