I used to listen to the radio, but switched to Kerrang! or skuzz tv for my morning yoga sessions. But as we've got freesat and the receiver is crap, losing signal 'all the time', so I switched back to radio. I can't bear Evans or Sara Cox - a voice not destined to be played outloud. And Sean Keavney left BBC radio 6 breakfast show - yay! (another person who likes the sound of his own voice and barely played any music).
I'm now a BBC Radio 6 breakfast listener convert.

what annoys me most about most radio music stations, and I do listen to a lot of talk based radio, is that when I put a music station on I want music.... sometimes I can channel surf right through the DAB dial and they are yakking away on all of them 
Planet Rock is okay in small doses, but they mostly seem to play the same 50 records, and I hate Rush.
considering getting an Amazon Echo just to have internet radio on command. |

This is why I don't listen to music radio. Why bother listening to someone else's choice of music when you can listen to nothing but what you know you like, all day, every day? And I can't stand adverts.
Besides, isn't it kind of a DJ's/radio presenter's job to like their own voice? If you hated your own voice, it wouldn't exactly be a brilliant choice of career

Because you get to hear music you wouldn't otherwise know about.
I've heard some fab stuff listening to Craig Charles on Radio 2 and when I heard that he had the same/a similar show on Radio 6, I started listening to that, and have discovered a lot of really exciting music.
Besides which, I agree that its lovely to be nostalgic and listen to old songs from our own "golden" era, nothing quite like hearing Dreadlock Holiday and having a sing-a-long ... but there's nothing to be gained from sticking yourself in one era, there's all that fabulous music you're missing out on ...!
How else would I actually have come to have heard drum and bass, garage, dubstep, grime, industrial... : in almost every other genre there is at least one piece of music I absolutely adore.
But then ... I was listening to Rick Wakeman and his freaky electronica when everybody else was listening to Black Sabbath somehow I never really caught up with the heavy metal thing.

I don't particularly like him but he's not the one that really gets my goat. That accolade is for Jeremy Vine.
They seem to be creating crap programmes just for him.
Mind you, the BBC are guilty of it all the time. That thick welsh bird from the one show (that wifie loves  ) pops up everywhere now. |
I agree but my pet Beebtwat is that Dan whas's'name on BBC Breakfast. £200K+ he gets paid! When I heard that its what prompted me to give up on the BBC Entirely. |

I went to see Top Gear being filmed on what turned out to be Chris Evans' last day on the show and I can attest, he is an odious, aggressive little shit.
Never been a fan, but because I have a crap car radio, it is either Radio 2, or local radio and I think Chris Evans is slightly better than local radio DJ + adverts. When I take the big car (usually the mrs uses it for school run and work), then I have a mix of Absolute 90's, Absolute Classic Rock, Talksport, Radio X, Virgin etc etc.
There is some really good stuff on R2 though, and I don't mind Sara Cox. Craig Charles is something I always try to catch, I like a bit of Trevor Nelson, Cerys Matthews new show is a good listen too. The Mrs likes Liza Tarbuck when she's cooking.
Also - Steve Wright. Hated him since I was a kid. He is proper "Uncle Knobhead" material, seems to think himself hilarious. When I am driving home at that time it becomes podcasts or Spotify playlists time.
