What Radio Station do you listen to?

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

GMR for the commentaries when I can't be at the match or see it for one reason or another. That, combined with the OS feed. Particularly like it when the Goat is on. There is sunshine in his accent.
British radio: 4,5, World Service. French: France Culture, France Inter, very occasionally RMC for commentary on French matches, and sometimes CL ones not involving City (although I detest the constant ads on there. I also dislike the abject ignorance of journalists on there concerning the true history of English football).

Anything without ads, if possible.

Another thread resurrection (it is Easter, after all)

The quality of radio is at an all time low. Radio 2 in particular.

From the crack of dawn, onwards.
Feltz. WHAT A GOBSHITE. Sounds like she's reading from a Thesaurus all the time.

Ball. Dreadful. Gushing over everybody. Calling everyone gorgeous, darling, beautiful etc. Then there's the overly camp traffic presenter who wants to be the star.

Vine. Appalling champagne socialist, trying to shock opinion into people, with the same members of the public ringing in.

Wright. 30 years out of date

Cox. I've grown very tired of the scatty Northern lass persona.

Whiley. God save us from the "cool mum" image, with clichés like "check these out", "this is where it's at" and starting sentences with the word "Hey". You're 50odd for God's sake. She's trying to sound like a Youth Club leader, and "the kids" think she's a prat.

Then there's the weekend, when it's turned to Gaydio 2 so it can be overtly PC, with Graham Norton, Paul Gambaccini, Rylan Clark-Neal, Michael Ball, Paul O'Grady, Clare Teal and Elaine Paige (gay icon)

I still listen to Ken Bruce (for Popmaster) but switch off, sometimes because of the station's shite play list, where you're guaranteed to hear Paloma Faith, Adele, Sam Smith, Gregory Porter, Rag n Bone man, 6 times a day, when they've got a new record out. This, added to the shite auto-tuned R'n'B shite which belongs on Radio 1.

Is there any decent stations out there, that doesn't involve DAB/Internet. I can't listen to Radio Manchester anymore, as its literally a 16 hour coffee morning. From the dreadful Chelsea at Breakfast, to the achingly dull Beccy Want, and the professional Manc, Sweeeeeeeneh

Forget the day time, Radio 2 is good for one thing. The 10pm slot with Trevor Nelson and his 'Rhythm Nation' show. Good host and a good variety of music.

Unfortunately he does seem to be swapping with Jo Wiley every other week now so I've been listening to Radio 1 instead on his off weeks.

Yes, that why I’d like to watch some of both CNN and Fox, just to see how they were slanting stuff. Bill OReilly I still follow on social media now. I’ve never been a fan of this echo chamber idea where you only listen to and read those who share your general worldview.
Having said that, I did find Fox and some of their presenters assertions extreme relative to CNN, but then maybe I would say that!

Never liked O'Reilly - once enjoyed Richard Dawkins taking him apart over religion.

I liked Megan Kelly, Kirin Chetry, Elizabeth Hasselbeck, Doocy and Kilmeade.

Was also a big fan of Shep Smith.

Chris Wallace is also an outstanding journalist.

Megyn was class, especially when dealing with Trump, pre election. In fact that reminds me I must try and seek out that Bombshell movie to watch. I’ve seen some of the Sky one with Russell Crowe as Ayles already.

Agreed 100% on Shep, thought he was a good guy. The ones who really grinds my gears are Tucker Carlson and Hannity though.

Radio 6. Occasionally Talk Sport, Talk Radio and Radio 5.

Some talk Megan could be going back to Fox. A very smart operator.

I won't watch Bombshell. I had Gretchen Carlson weighed up from the beginning. A former Miss America who had questionable motives for her relationships.

Was out of order going after Doocy and Kilmeade, too. She was a terrible presenter to replace ED Hill with, so wasn't surprised she accused Fox after they moved her to afternoons.

Alyson Camerotta should have got the job from the weekend show and she quite rightly fucked off to CNN because Gretchen got the job.

Tucker Carlsson used to be okay in the weekend show and he is starting to question some of the Trump message but he's just a fucking frat boy smirker.

Hannity, well, be careful what we wish for. This denim wearing, gun-toting prick has designs on being President.

 

[peoffrey]

I was an XFM man for years but fucked it off after they rebranded it to Radio X. I don’t know which of Johnny Vaughan, Vernon Kay and Chris Moyles that I hate the most.
