I don't listen to the radio, but the noises between the stations can be quite interesting to listen to.

I gave up on the radio over here when alleged 'rock' stations started playing things like Avril Lavigne and etcetera.

Radio 5 first thing in the morning - because I've got my morning routine linked with theirs. And Radio 5 in the car because the tape-player's cr*p.

Radio 4 for the rest of the day if I'm at home. Unless it's one of those smiley - bleep awful plays - then I'll put on a CD.

Wave 105 - it was the only station my crappy old car could pick up all the way from home to uni (and my car was crappy and old enough not to have a tae playersmiley - yikes) so I got hooked to the cheesy adverts and way-to-long jingles and the traffic news is perfect for my journey...plus it feels kind of homely.

However I don't like it on the weekends - on saturdays it's radio 2 for Jonathon Ross and on sundays it's radio 4 (apart from the archers which hubby objects to - I always listen to the omnibus with my mum when I'm back home though).

On Friday and Saturday nights on Wave they play crappy disco music so I'll try radio 4 to see if they've got anything funny on.

For long drives (outside of the wave area) I like radio 1 during the day (well until chris moyles comes onsmiley - yuk) and radio 4 is frighteningly easy to listen to (found myself listening to womens hour a few weeks ago...it worried me).

I really should store some of my cd's in the car but I'm worried about losing/damaging them and I'm too lazy to make copies.

2legs - Hey, babe, take a walk on the wild side...

If you are worried about them being lost/stolen, and you have a CD burner, or a friend with one, you could burn some of your CDs onto CDRs, and keep the copies in teh car? smiley - erm Oh, Radio four. and a Spanish radio station I forget the name of that i listen to over teh web.

WXRT Chicago ... I can't remember the station number. I loved it when I was in college ... when alternative was really alternative. The DJs really knew what they were talking about. And there were none of those cheesy gimmicks to get people to listen ... just great music. But I don't live in Chicago anymore, so I don't know if it's still the same.

I'm a big music fan, so my radio stations have to be big on music of the presenter's choice.

1. Fuse FM (Manchester Uni Student Radio) - because I presented a show on it. Definitely the best music during _that_ hour. smiley - biggrin

2. BBC 6 Music - especially during the day, get to hear lots of great classic tunes.

3. NME Radio - 'nuff said.

4. 105.4 Century FM - Greater Manchester's least-worst local station (occasionally they have shows presented by Clint Boon or whoever).

It is. It used to be in Piccadilly Gardens but now it's in the slightly more scenic surroundings of Castlefield. I think it's a pile of smiley - bleep, though. smiley - smiley

Yeah, I'm not a real local-radio listener anyway. BBC 6 Music satisfies all my needs in the ten months of the year that Fuse FM is off air, most of the time.

Well, I'm at uni in Sunderland, and just got a digibox, so BBC7's doing it for me.

Although the local Century station has good phone-ins...
