Which radio station do you listen to in the morning?

I always have Radio 1 on in the morning but I really feel I'm too old for such nonsense. Can anyone recommend a station that is entertaining, plenty of music and not too much talking as I can never hear it with four kids having breakfast, that won't make me feel like I'm over the hill. I do actually find Chris Moyles funny but my dh thinks it's pathetic that I enjoy a station for 20 year olds. The kids all moan like hell if I put Radio 4 on.

local one when kids are around and then radio 5 when I'm on my own.

I like Radio 1 - never used to but recently really like listening to Chris Moyles

xfm, every time.

Depending on whether I get a decent reception,
Capital Fm, I love Johnny Vaughn in the morning, he makes me laugh.
Or failing that, one of our local ones Chiltern Fm.

(or sometimes wave 105)

Kerrang and I'm far too old for it

spursmum · 27/04/2006 11:21

I love Kerrang and so does ds but he prefers to watch it on Sky!!

Thanks for the suggestions. Well, Kerrang would please my dh but no one else. Local radio is a bit too, well local, for my liking - god those phone ins!! I'll try Capital, should just about get it. Radio 2, I'll give it a go. What is xfm? What's the one that Jamie Theakston's on - I like him.

Radio 2 here.

spursmum · 27/04/2006 11:27

JT's on Heart.
Maybe you should get a DAB radio as there are more stations and no interference.
Im getting one when I can afford it.

TwoToTango · 27/04/2006 11:32

Heart FM. Great music

cod · 27/04/2006 11:33

noen at all

donnie · 27/04/2006 11:34

lunarx · 27/04/2006 11:45

joelalie · 27/04/2006 11:46

Radio 4.

You mean there is an alternative... Shock

acnebride · 27/04/2006 11:47

radio 2 radio 3 radio 1 or Classic depending on how fragile i feel and whether or not i am trying to wake dh up or let him sleep...

acnebride · 27/04/2006 11:48

(radio 3 quite user-friendly in the morning and unfortunately Classic/breakfast means Simon Bates which is too much, although at least he doesn't interview anybody or talk much

CristinaTheAstonishing · 27/04/2006 11:48

Radio 4 or XFM.

twocatsonthebed · 27/04/2006 12:13

if you've got DAB, what about 6 music? Phil Jupitus, good music, makes me laugh (we turn over from Radio 4 once they start shouting on the Today programme). And new music as well old, so the sprogs shouldn't moan too much.

don't listen in the morning - usually tune into Matthew Wright on telly.

Fave radio prog and always listen when I can - is Jeremy Vine Radio 2

Used to listen to The Today Programme on Radio 4 on the way to work but now I'm usually still asleep at that time Grin

MissChief · 27/04/2006 12:19

Today on R4 for a bit of doom & gloom and Jeremy Vine on R2 if I'm in later..

Caligula · 27/04/2006 12:20

Today Programme.

Except if I'm driving, when i sometimes turn on to Terry Wogan
