Advantages: Focused on good music Disadvantages: A lot of repeats
Galaxy 102 in Manchester is the only station I know of that focuses solely on the music. None of this hours of adverts and presenters droning on. I personally like many others tune into Galaxy for good music and thats what I get. There is always the mot recent RnB hits and you can also always catch a good ole classis like Sisqo or Micheal Jackson. Then, as I'm getting ready for a night out all the club tunes are layed nonstop with no interruptions. ...the most individuals things about Galaxy is that there is much less adverts than other commercial stations and during each advert break, there is category exclusivity which basically means there won't be more than one type of advert ie only one car ad, only one sports shop ad etc.
Galaxy is easily available in all areas of Greater Manchester and its part of the Galaxy network across Britain. ... more

The presenters are extremely professional, they always know what theyre doing and Nicksy in the morning makes the show what it is. He's funny, witty and knows what the listeners want to listen to. Then theres a whole range and variety of DJ's from Vic Mcglynn in the day who brings a Sara Cox like edge to the one and the only Graeme Parks on Saturday Nights. What more could I ask for?
There's good competitions that get you thinking as you're getting ready for work that involve more than you just ringing. Good prizes including cash, archers, holidays, concert tickets.

Advantages: Good nationwide reception, good dance music Disadvantages: Mainly dance music, can be repetitive sometimes
Galaxy FM is available nationwide, and a good thing too. I moved from London to Bristol a few years ago, and missed Kiss FM a great deal, as I was now outside it's reception range, and used to love the dance mixes they put together.
Then Galaxy came a long, and their up beat mix of club scene/dance music really livens my day up. They must have a play list to work to because some tunes get a bit more airplay than others, but overall, if you are driving ... ...is a good cross section of music styles throughout the day, and the DJ's are, on the whole, very entertaining.
Galaxy FM is number one for me, but obviously not for everyone, if you prefer pop or mainstream for example, stick with good old Radio 1. ...

Advantages: Best tunes ever, lots of dance stuff Disadvantages: Lots of adverts, interrupting songs
Galaxy 101 is the best radio station in South Wales and the West. It has a good variety of music, mainly dance, trance, house, garage, etc. In the week they run competitions, usually in the morning, the last one I listened to in the morning was one where you had to guess films, from a clip read out by one of the presenters. In the afternoon they have a cool DJ, Steve Denier, who has mystery workplace of the week, were you have to guess where someone ... ...plays the newest songs in the Twin Pack, where you can win a crate of Vodka every Thursday. Most of the music they play during this time is chart music.
The weekender has to be the best one on any radio station. They keep shuffling around the weekend shows, dropping old ones, and picking up new ones. The best show they have has to be on a Sunday night from 20:50 to 0:50 the next morning, this show is the R&B show and has the biggest tunes ever!!! ...

Advantages: 30 Mins no stop, good music Disadvantages: repeats some songs ALL the time, dodgy news slots.
...lucky enough to qualify was Galaxy even with much competition from Country stations, Rap stations etc. etc. Now they have the station there making sure they make a BANG with great songs, remixes and some dodgy presenters - have a listen and youll know what i mean - its not easy to put into words.
They do play a good mix of music and have some great competitions, however there new slots are at dodgy times and have me completly confused - there at ... ...mins NON stop. And with Galaxy thats exactly what it means, no adverts, no presernters cutting in, no nothing - well apart from the occasional "This is the Newest mix for the norteast - Galaxy 105-106" jingle.
If your young and want a change during the sport seasons to listening to Metro and Magic, here you go!
The only things to watch out for are the weekend slot where all Galaxy stations in the UK link to one - its usless, real boring - zzz and ...
Advantages: Amount of new dance music Disadvantages: Adverts
Well, GalaxyFM sure is a good local radio stations. One of its best qualities is the ammount of dance music it plays at night. You’ll often find that radio stations (especially radio1) are a bit boring at night and it’s the time where either the obscure music or love songs come out to play. Well, not on Galaxy 105. They probably realised this and took advantage of the gap, and they have filled it well.
Galaxy can be found in about 6 different parts of the country at the moment and will probably expand further. The main types of music you will find on the show are pop and dance and new, up and coming music. You’ll also get the local news and weather aswell as the national news.
A lot of people complain about the adverts, but I don’t see them as being a major problem, they only air from 5-7 in a row anyway ...

Advantages: Great tune variety - presenters - funny Disadvantages: ADs - bad signal - internet radio skips
Popular radio station Galaxy 102 FM (Manchester) has to be one of my favourite stations I listen to...
Why?
The reason this is my favourite station is mostly because of the music they play. Now, If you're a big fan of Dance and R'n'B then you will love this station.
I would say that the age range for most people who listen to Galaxy would be from about 14 - 25. I know that if I asked my friends which stations they favoured they would most likely say Galaxy than any other station.
Another thing Iabout this station I enjoy is that you get the chance to hear to the newest tunes FIRST before anyone else. With me, I am usually listening to Galaxy and I'll be surfing the net or playing a game and I will hear a new tune but I wont realise how much I really like it until it next comes on.
The convenience of listening on the net ...

Galaxy 105 is one of the best radio stations that i know. I have been listening to Galaxy for around 5 years now, I first started listening to it after I was flicking through all the different stations and I liked one of the tunes that they were playing. I stuck with the station and now I have found out how great it really is.
The presenters Antony and Jo-Jo maked going to school and work more exciting with their humor and their crazy games which the contestants ring into play.
A wide range of pop, rap and other music is played and at night they even play tunes for the older listener.
I great radio station and thye should keep up the good work. ...
