Absolute radio is ok, you can also choose Absolute 60's, 70's, 80's or 90's too which is pretty good (DAB or internet only though)Other than that I go for BBC Radio 6 purely because you get alternative music on there rather than just chart tripe, again its DAB or internet though.
Used to listen a lot to Radio 4, but jeez its been taken over by campaign groups for Womens this that and the other.

Can you imagine the reaction if there was 'Mens Hour' instead of Women's Hour?.Or 'The MI' instead of The WI.Planet Rock is the only one I can listen to constantly without having to switch over now and then.
Not a fan of radio 4 as I'm working class.

Radio 2 for me, though I change it if Jeremy Vine's on. Not a fan of radio 4 as I'm working class. We put a lot of local radio on in the car as they play the modern music- the kids like to sing along to this.I miss Terry Wogan
I think the I can recall a couple of standout programmes, one where the programme maker and speaker had investigated those weird broadcasts that exist right at the end of the (i think it was long wave)
QuoteNot a fan of radio 4 as I'm working class. That's strange as I'm 'working class'. I do tend to skip between Radio Scotland, 4, 4 extra and World Service as ah cannae be bothered with quite a bit of the content on those stations.
The fairly easy to solution to poor reception (assuming you have some reception) – an aerial!This simple Half wave FM dipole did it for me. Picks up FM and DAB nicely. FM is still the sweetest if you can pick up a strong signal.
I fella, it's not strange. We're all free to listen to whatever radio station we want, regardless of class. It's just that the radio 4 demographic isn't particularly suited to the working class.People who work shifts to put food on the table don't necessarily want to listen to documentaries and garden quizzes and the like. However I completely understand there are always those who do..
