What's your radio station?

[Jimbo]

five live

[Ant]

Natasha's pretty good. Didn't she once have a slot on Xfm at some pretty obscure time, or am I imagining that?

[Michael Palaeologus]

Radio 4 - virtually all the time.

Radio 2 - has got sooo much better, but is still rubbish on a Sunday, when it seems to morph back 20 years.

Radio 1 - wen in the car and bored

Hate adverts and so dont do commercial radio

[Bellenden Belle]

Sundays are such a difficult day for radio .. though I am looking forward to trying out Sean's suggestion of Natasha.

I remember when I first met hubby, there was Jackie Clune on BBC London and it was a fantastic show. We stayed in bed for hours listening!

For something a little different try arty London based station Resonance FM 104.4, it's very original and a bit avant garde sometimes, been going about 5 years now and can be hit and miss as they let some absolute nutters loose on the airwaves. It's quite refreshing and great to dip in and out of, especially in the evenings.

[Ant]

I've always heard good things about Resonance, but whenever I give it a try I always seem to coincide with the nutters. Ah well...

[SeanMacGabhann]

Good shout Incatatus - will give it a try

Ant - yep, you are correct she was a lates(ish) evening "minx" - she is much more cutesy on a Sunday morning now tho but the music is still good

[Ant]

Didn't she have a sprog recently?

[batdog]

Resonance FM claims to be the first London art radio station, so it is an alternative radio, even though is a bit freakish sometimes it is a very good station (tu)

[Nero]

Batdog, Are there plans to reintroduce the wolf to the UK? Could we have some skulking around Peckham Rye Park? Nero

[mumra]

This is such a good idea for a thread BB! Only the other day I was thinking if I could merge the best bits from Radio 2, 4 and Xfm it would be a winner. Do listen to BBC6 but not useful to like a digital radio station when in the car. Agree that Tonks is rubbish and seems to be the only DJ on Xfm at the mo :(

[batdog]

Nero,

This a thread on radio stations, however the wolves never left the UK (tu)

[Bleep]

Resonance is excellent, and so varied.

Personally it's Radio 3 for me.

[TillieTrotter]

Am a Vanessa fan in the morning, just weaning myself off of XFM (gone down the pan), Friday evenings I love abit of Essential Mix on Radio One, and you cant beat abit o the ole Magic on a Sunday to get you into a nostalgic mood.

[AnotherPaul]

We do Xfm, R1, R4, R6, London and some of the African pirate stations - but all in a very non-committal manner.

On Xfm Lauren Laverne was good but O'Connell was majestic and I miss laughing that hard in the morning. Spot on about their playlist, so predictable and far from it's indepedent roots.

On R1 Moyles has his moments but can also horribly borish, Scott Mills is far funnier. Wiley I can't stand, faux cool, hushed tones but tied to the same play list as everyone else.

R4 is my news channel. It also makes me laugh just how many mid-afternoon shows there are which feature medieval English music, at least two a week it seems.

R6 for Stephen Merchant on replay.

And London for the occasional Robert Elms show is lovely although the format's a bit predictable now. Vanessa is too much froth and not enough content for my liking, distinctly remember here doing what I thought to be pretty bad job the day of the 7/7 bombings. And then there's her 'celeb' boyfriend. What a knob. John Gaunt was terrible.

And then there's the African pirate stations (including the evangelical preach/ranting ones) to remind me I'm in the best city in the world.

Gawd, I only ever listen to R4 - I love those medieval music shows.

[Fear 'n boozin]

I haven't listened to xFM since Lauren left :(

(though mostly because they love playing Razzorlight, Keane and others ad nausium....) Am mostly R4 these days.

[Keef]

I hate Moyles with an unparalled passion! (tu)

[monica]

Virgin for me with the hilarious and dry cristian o connell in the morning,he really gives me a smile on the way to work:))

[Jah Lush]

Since the late great John Peel's passing listening to the radio has become a bit of a chore for me, so I don't bother anymore, not that I was regular listener anyway. Commercial radio is just awful. Adverts every five or ten minutes minutes that seem to go on forever. It does my head in. Talk shows bore me apart from say Robert Elms' show which is usually entertaining and informative at the same time but the rest seem to be full of stupid, deeply irritating DJ's who think they're being funny with their ridiculously dumb inane banter, who play the same records on rotate and why do they all seem to surround themselves with a background staff of laughing sycophants? Urgh! I must be getting old or something.

[tickledpink]

radio 4 all the way

[beatnic]

How about Last FM?

I've created an East Dulwich Forum group in case anyone else is signed up.

I haven't been scrobbling but will start v soon...

[SeanMacGabhann]

Good shout beatnic

I am signed up to Last FM but will have a look for the group

[spadetownboy]

hooray im sorry i havnt a clue is back on r4.

[Huguenot]

I wish they'd podcast it!
