102.2 Lincs FM

Right then, local radio. A lot of people may knock radio and see it as old hat, watching the telly instead. Just one thing, can you watch telly in a power cut? A Trifle difficult, I have tried but got bored of a black screen! (Losing the plot early here, sorry!) The power of radio - batteries! Seriously, Lincs FM 102.2 is the most informative radio station I have ever come across. It pains me to leave the broadcasting area when I have to. General Area ------------------ Lincs FM covers Lincolnshire and Newark, officially. The sometimes say "From the Humber to the Wash" A half decent car stereo ... more

My parents have listened to this radio station all of their lives. I myself prefer the dulcet tones of the teenager-aimed Radio 1 (97-99FM), but I have to say that you simply can't beat Lincs FM 102.2 early in the morning. The Music. This station plays a wide variety of music, and they vary it depending on the time of broadcast. For example, in the morning, pop music is the genre of music played as this is considered to be uplifting and jovial, and surprisingly enough, it does get you in the spirit for going to school. However, if you tune in after 9:00PM for example (at which point Andy Marsh ... more

Having read a couple of other opinions, the first thing I must stress is that different people have different tastes in music. This is why I like Lincs FM. If you want to listen to modern, in the chart music, my view is to listen to Radio 1 or something. Lincs Fm gives the listeners a different chice of music.

I have to admit, they do play some tracks more than once in a day, but again, so does Radio 1, I once remember Radio 1 playing cher's ... more

Lincs Fm has been going since around 1990 and has always been Lincolnshire's most popular Radio station for the whole family. When Lincs Fm first started they would be interacting with the community for the whole of Lincolnshire, and according to the Rajar figures (Radio listening figures) Lincs fm is one of the most listened too commercial Radio station in the UK. I think the main reason for this is mainly due to the fact Lincolnshire and Humberside have very little or choice in terms of local radio and only now are new community stations been launched.

I know that local Radio stations have to provide a general service to cater for a wide age group. I know that Lincolnshire has very few people in it and therefore has little advertising revenue. But please, why do DJs have to be so cheesy the music so unimaginative, the competitions always seem to be garden sheds and meals for two at a chippie (not including wine). It’s the only local FM station I know of that has a cookery slot. I kid you not. Some lady called Sally Elkington cooks up something odd (usually lamb Kebabs in sugar with dill or some such) and the DJ kind of makes comments ... more
