Inspired by another thread in here, which stations do you listen to?

I tend to listen to a mixture of R4/R2/6music and a bit of Absolute 90s but always open to trying a new station I listen to a lot of radio

Absolute or Kerrang.

Laska2Meryls · 30/08/2021 19:18

I'm in my 60's ( hopefully I can play?)

6 Music

Especially love Mary Anne Hobbs , Amy Lamé, Craig Charles and Gilles Petersen

Radio Wales in the evening with Janice long, Sunday evening excellent music programme which is folk and other bit and pieces, R6 often, odd bit of R2 and R1, and sometimes R Pembrokeshire in the car

PickAChew · 30/08/2021 19:20

Mostly 6 music. Occasional absolute 80s (Ds1 has it on his bedroom radio 24/7!) or radio 3 if Mary-Ann is annoying me with 11am techno.

Scala radio
Virgin Breakfast, Virgin Chilled, Virgin Anthems (actudlly, that is more on the DC’s request in the car)

Times radio in the morning
Absolute radio rest of the time

MondeoFan · 30/08/2021 19:39

Friday night - Radio X or Absolute for the rock show
Saturdays - Radio 2
Sundays - Absolute 80's for the chart from 4-9pm

Rest of the week Radio X

Radio 4. But that's got nothing to do with my age, I was listening to Radio 4 at university Grin

Melroses · 14/09/2021 22:22

I was listening to R4 at universtiy Grin

But now I listen to Times Radio in the morning - Aasmah Mir decamped there and makes me smile in the mornings.

Today was making me feel depressed, and R2 has never found an adequate replacement for Terry ❤

Chickpeabiryani · 14/09/2021 22:28

Can’t beat LBC for talk and Greatest Hits for music[.

Sarahlou63 · 14/09/2021 22:32

James O'Brien on LBC in the morning, Gold Fm for working on the farm.

Radio 6 only really. I used to listen to R4 a lot too but it doesn't fit with my schedule any more.

larkstar · 14/09/2021 22:42

BBC 4, BBC World Service quite a lot, no end of podcasts on the BBC Sounds app, BBC Radio 5, 3 and some classic FM. On my Internet radio I keep trying different stations but Soundstorm is the main one.
