...and which is your favoured radio programme presenter?

Mine is Hallam FM and presenter Nick Margerrison.

Kwik Save FM is my favourite radio station, especially when the DJ says those immorital words:

'McVities Homewheat biscuits, now half price' :thumbsup:

You mean old "Sweet-Cheeks" himself?

I've listened to him a few times and considering the quality of the communication skills of many of the punters who 'phone in, his damage-limitation skills are quite impressive at times.

Arousing listener-interest in a conversation that begins, "Hello Nick, I'm just calling to say that me and my mate here, think that you're a !*$%", can't be easy.

He has my sympathy, though he won't rate my full attention until he introduces a preliminary IQ test for would-be callers - Anyone scoring a number below their shoe-size automatically getting the engaged-tone. ;)

got to go for Virgin they play a good mix of decent music from the 60s to present day, no boy/girl bands or R&B just proper musicial talent (for the most part) also they have some really good giveaway prizes like trips to Oz to see bands or festival tickets etc

mine is galaxy 105 they have the most dance music on and i love it well done lads and lasses plus i no someone who works there lol big up to pal u no who u r i like hallam fm aswell its great lol :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup

I'm disgusted with myself, but it's probably Radio 2.

I love radio in theory, but in practice hate most of it...

Radio 2: 90% ****e
Radio 1: 95% ****e
BBC local radio: 97% ****e
Commercial local radio: 99.9% ****e

Radio 1 only scores so 'highly' because of Zane Lowe. I really like the music he plays, although I cringe whenever he talks.

i have 2 radios in my kitchen,one for galaxy 105 and the other peak fm,so when iv had enough of one i switch to the other, :)

I never mentioned any cause and effect. :P

A typical weekday would see me listening to:-

night till 6.30 - probably Magic AM or PrimeTime
6.30 - 7.00 - Radio 2 (for the Morning Newspapers)

It's usually a CD in the car on the way to work.

8 till 9 - either Classic FM, Magic AM, PrimeTime, occasionally Radio 4 or rarely, Radio 2

9 till 10 - Usually Heart or, if they're playing a year from the 1990s, revert to predictable Real Radio. If no good, play safe with Classic FM.

10 till 11 - Radio Hallam or Magic. Sometimes Radio 2.

11 till 12 - Classic FM

Lunch break.

Afternoon:- from around 2 it's usually Radio 2.

Bedtime: if in bed by 10 (usually), Capital Life, till 11.

Then through the night, Magic, Primetime or Radio 2.

Five Live or 6 music

Drive is good and always interesting

Phil Jupitus is good on 6 Music. lots of talk about stuff I'm into.

I read the title of this thread and though to myself I hope no one puts the evil that is Hallam FM down. Lo and behold the thread starter! I suppose I should not be surprised after reading the road kill thread!

BBC6, Saturday nights with Bruce Dickinson :thumbsup: rest of the time it's usually radio 2.

Radio 2 - Terry Wogan!! What a man!!
Any man that can make me laugh as he does, cant be all bad!

And the music is good too - introduced me to Juliet Turner - now THATS what I callll MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :clap:

Another vote for Radio 2 from here.. As for best DJ, hmm.. Toss up between Steve Wright or Dale Winton for Pick of the Pops IMO.

has to be planet rock, Arrow or Kerrang Radio 2 is ok, it's like radio 1 ten years ago!!

I don't listen to much radio now cos most of it does me' head in!
If i do listen to anything I catch 1Xtra while I'm at work. I'd rather be the DJ and pick my own songs to listen to (cd's & mp3s)

I can't believe there's no other Radio 4 devotees on this forum.

Also Radio 3 or Radio 2 now and again. Used to listen to Classic FM but now switch over as soon as the adverts come on.

If you want to have your own online radio station, go on Shoutcast.com (http://www.shoutcast.com) and download the plugin for Winamp, or if you can afford it buy a Shoutcast server and you can then host your own online radio station like one of our very own users Phanerothyme does with his Phan FM (Click the link in his sig when he posts, or look in his profile)

What I like about radio is its a good net time expeniture, meaning you can listen whilist doing other things.

I listen to virgin. radio 1 in the morning planet rock is also good

Radio 5 wakes me up in the morning. Simon Mayo's show is good, particularly on Friday when Mark Kermode does his film reviews. As for five's presenters. Julien Worricker is excellent, while Victoria Derbyshire is dreadful.

I also listen to Radio 4, and to Radio 7 (on the computer) for the comedy and drama repeats.

CLASSIC FM

Late Night Lisa

There's also a very weird thing they do about 2am on Friday called ''The Chiller Cabinet'' where they play really modern spooky sampled noises /classical/ instrumental/ vocal mish mash's.

Verrry strange to fall asleep to :o

The adverts really hack me off sadly :mad:

Virgin, Radio Four, Radio Three, Classic - they all get equal play with me.

Have been listening to Bach on R3 of late.

:)

The arrow is awesome its just like listening to my ipod i dont think they have ever played a track I dont like :)

I also llike talk sport

the one i like is vibe fm which used to be galaxy but it decided to change and vibe fm is based in bristol

Has to be Radio 1. New music and new bands on all the time. favourite DJ - Maybe Jo Whiley or Chris Moyles in the week and Vernon kay at the weekend.:thumbsup:

I love the Arrow, Planet Rock, and Classic Gold but I guess I am showing my age.
Virgin OK sometimes but I find the endless James Blunt, Oasis and Kaiser Chiefs tedious. Does Virgin manage these people?
:)

galaxy.. it plays what i like so cant complain.. :D

I listen to

www.kcrw.com : as they play stuff I love - shows like The Drop, Chocolate City, Nocturna, etc.

:thumbsup: also goes to

www.solarradio.com

Gilles Peterson's Worldwide on Radio 1

Jazz Fm and Choice Fm - late at night for the more 'specialist' shows.

I don’t really agree with your taste of music, but I like your style. Music to match your mood and not just a case of turn the radio on and listen to what ever is churned out

Another fan of www.kcrw.com here;

The "Morning becomes eclectic" show is excellent, particularly the extraordinary range of studio sessions which have been archived over the years. This has brought to my ears a lot of great new music.

Also enjoy Robert Elms on BBC London , he's on weekdays from 12-3 with intelligent conversation and a wide but always entertaining range of soul/funk/jazz/americana and oldies. Well worth investigation for those of us who can listen while we work.
