I never listen to the radio when driving, but sometimes listen to BBC local radio.

Away from the car I like Magic FM and 3C on digital radio.

If I listen to radio it's Radio 2 as i can't stand the hideously overcompressed sound of Radio 1 and most comercial stations. Plus they have better music and less cretinous presenters, but they are now balancing that out with Chris Evans on the drivetime show

I agree, I wish they'd given Johnny Walkers old job to Richard Allinson instead of the 'Ginger Whinger'..

I would also prefer it if Matthew Wright replaced Steve Wright, and if anyone replaced Sarah 'listen to me prattle on all day about my bloody cats' Kennedy..........

If I'm in the 340 I can listen to Radio 1 on its excitingly modern 1983 Clarion stereo radio cassette, complete with UHF. If I'm in the 360 I have to put up with Virgin as I only have one of Volvo's 1984 units with LW/MW and the LW part doesn't work (or I'd give Atlantic 252 a go). Must get hold of a fascia adapter...

Fox Fm 102.6 is on all day in my workshop. The adverts get annoying, but I don't notice them when working and adverts have little effect on me, I never remember the exact product! I cannot stand Radio 1 anymore, Radio 2 is good, especially the comedy hour on a Saturday. I hardly ever listen to the radio in the car, no when there's 10 Gb of music on the mStation!

I can just manage to pick up Wave 105 in the car around Southampton (no aerial at the moment). The rest of the time it's a noisy old tape :(
