Because Wile E Coyote has said that his 'favourite ever World Cup goal' was the cheat and drug user Maradogga's against England, I'm going for Talksport on this one.

From half nine 'til two, Radio 2. Ken Bruce is quite inoffensive and I like popmaster. Jeremy Vine is a good presenter, and I like the format.

Rest of the time, Absolute for one day a week and 6m for the rest. Although I like the idea of the absolute radio "no repeat guarantee", it'd be better if it was a whole week guarantee.

Absolute have the same playlist day after day. Even the Friday request show has people texting in requests for songs they play every day. No imagination at all.

MAGIC FM for me on DAB

I liked the idea of 6 Music back when it started, but was driven away by the boring little turd Keaveney (sp?)....is he still stinking the place out?....if not I may give it another go.

BBC 6 music by a mile.
Simon Mayo was ok on radio 2 for the drive home until the BBC paired him with Jo Whiley.

iPod on until 12
Jeremy Vine 12-2 (he is a dick but some interesting topics covered sometimes) Radio 2
Radcliffe and McConie 2 til 4 6 Music
Steve Lamacq 4 til 5 6 Music
Tony Livesey after 5 on 5 Live

Jeremy Vine is the most boring, dull, mundane person i have ever listend to and sadly hes on every day i work and for some reason we can only get Radio 2 at work

I hear you Rileybobs. Tedious Gollum lookalike who's stuck in 1993. Did you know he used to write for the NME? Can't go 2 minutes without banging on about it. Same feature for 10 years.. "tell me the 11th record in your collection beginning with P". Jeez, f**k off to Radio 2, nobody listens to Carter USM or Cast anymore.

Apart from that, I like him.

bit mean spirited to attack his appearance simply because you dislike the music he plays, that's sadly a sign of our times.

It's hardly an attack, he has a fine face for radio.

Unless it's either of Mark or Lard, 6Music isn't worth it for me.

The drivetime shows are as playlisted as Radio 1, except the same songs they play every single show are boring as hell.

It's so trapped to its mid-40s target audience that it rarely strays from safe stuff. When it does it's often just paying lip service.

There's a distinct lack of anything remotely hip hop, anything heavier than Elbow, or anything cutting edge dancewise.

I have the same gripes every day about his tired features; 'have you ever stepped in a puddle on your way to a gig?'. He's so out of touch with any music post-2000. The only thing worse is the people who email in their mind-numbingly boring anecdotes for him to read out in a Partridgesque fashion.

Other than that I like Keaveny, Laverne's show is generally good apart from her and her listener's insistence to find something to cry about, and Radcliffe and Maconie make for a good afternoon's listening. I just wish I finished work at 4.

claptrappers_union · Post by **claptrappers_union** » Wed Jun 06, 2018 2:18 pm

I tuned into Radio X last year. I think it was shortly after Chris Moyles moved over... They played 'Fat Lip' by Sum 41, I said to the guy in my office, "I've not heard this for a while..."

Then they played 'I'm a Dreamer' by Ossy Osbourne, again... I thought "I forgot about this song" and the obligatory Green Day, Blink 182 sorta stuff was thrown in with some Spiral Carpets, Oasis and so on... and I thought, this is a good station this - good background music to work to.

Turned it on again the next day... Sum 41, Ossy Osbourne, Green Day, Oasis... then in the afternoon - Sum 41, Ossy Osbourne, Green Day, Oasis... After a week, I had to turn it off.

I think 6music is the best station, but I don't care much for music chat, personally.

SammyBoy · Post by **SammyBoy** » Wed Jun 06, 2018 2:20 pm

Radio 4 driving too and from work, impartial and sensible discussion of current events. For music either Radio 1 or Capital after about 6pm on either Friday or Saturday.

World Service for education and broadening one’s outlook. You can listen during the day on digital.

RadioX. Been a fav of mine since I got a digital radio back in 08 I think. It was xFM or something back then.

Love Johnny Vaughn in the evening and on the football days.

But Chris Moyles... No matter how much (or because of how much) i listen to him, I can't help but think he's a complete c**t.

Honestly, and there I was thinking Chris Moyles loves himself and needs to learn to let someone else speak every once in a while.

Personally I love moylesey, entertained me at work for years on radio one. Enjoy listening to him on radio x, but he's not quite the same without Dave vitty alongside him.
