What radio station(s) do you listen to?

Wondering what radio stations you listen to. Do you just keep it on in the background for some gentle noise or do you have it loud enough to hear everything and you pay attention most of the time?

If you listen to a non-UK station, what do you listen to and why? Do you tune in different stations depending on where you are (car/kitchen/bathroom/bedroom)?

I tend to listen to RTÉ Lyric FM in the car and Radio Nova (Dublin station) around the house. Looking to branch out and expand my listening horizons.

Radio 2 is my main station, the one I have on constantly in the background at home. In the car I listen to Free Radio and LBC on longer journeys, I do pay attention to that station, interesting discussions.
