reckon I will start carrying CDs in my wagon now,for the last 2 days I have been driving in silence,the amount of talking from radio presenters is unreal,one was commenting on what a celebrity has in his fridge,for the next few minutes he kept on and on about wanting to know what was in this guys fridge,then there is wrighty on radio2 keep interrupting songs,feltz keeps on and on,god help us if she has a woman caller,you might as well forget music for about ten min,sarah cox does nothing but talk,the worst part is if you E mail the stations to complain it goes in one ear and out the other or if you get a reply they basically tell you where to go in a nice way
I recently switched to 5 live,what with all the politicking recently,and I quite like it,despite not being a left wing,Jeremy loving commie 
Good traffic reports too.
When it gets boring,I mute it,and start singing to myself,my current favourite is “All I want is a room somewhere” from My Fair Lady,I know most of the words now 
Unfortunately,this out of tune bellowing is often mistakenly construed as road rage…and I have been threatened on several occasions

It’s pants… Whilst I like the ‘free radio’ local stations, I hate adverts breaks which go on longer than my reverse…
Radio one is just utter tripe - not the music (although some is very dodgy)…just the ■■■■■ coming from the overpaied button monkeys.
Radio two is good until Steve Wright.
Absolute is ruined by ads too…
Clssic FM is ok, if you’re in the mood…
I rarely have the radio on, although local BBC radio can be so bad it’s hilarious. An od around here likes to ring up Radio Oxford and advise on such diverse subjects as politics, military matters and the environment. The last one is quite apt because he was fined last year for flytipping waste fines at a farm, booking it as topsoil. He admitted on air it was all down to a “paperwork error.”

Never have to listen to the crap again.
As most of you know, I live in the USA and find the radio stations here. Compared to the BBC ad even Heart FM they are terrible. If I am further south and near a major city they are nothing but commercials after every 2 tracks or utter ■■■■■■■■, around the north where I mostly run the DJ’s / Presenters are boring and drab, they seem to have no idea what entertainment is about and talk in monotonous drone like voices… So I have the biggest data package my phone company supplies and listen to BBC radio 4 or 2, Heart FM Northamptonshire or Boom 97.3 Toronto which is pretty good, all through the ‘tune in’ app which is plugged into the ‘AUX’ so I have full English radio in surround sound. Some day’s I totally forget that I am driving in the USA.
I suggest you download the app and find any radio station on earth.

5live in the morning, then change over to radio 4 for the afternoon.
Usually I try and plan my afternoon around the archers and the 2:15 afternoon drama/comedy/mystery.
