Edith Bowan i have to say is a weak link next inthe day not as much music as jo but more day to day info films,tv games ... Read review

Advantages: Presenters have good sense of humour and taste
Disadvantages: Some are annoying and are trying to impersonate their former youthfil selves

Radio 2 offers a great blend of music and presenting styles. During the day it is largely based on chart hits with considerable enmphasis on 70s and 80s music. Ken Bruce is my personal favourite of the presenters as I enjoy his sense of humour and also the PopMaster music quiz, on which I appeared late last month. Terry Wogan is also funny but his taste in music is probably a little too old for this 22-year-old. I find Steve Wright highly irritating ...
...1 in the afternoon. His tatse in music and his selections aren't bad, though. I'm also not a great fan of Chris Evans, who does the drivetime programme. Mark radcliffe and Stuart Maconie do Monday-Thursday 8pm-10pm and their taste in music is superb, I also enjoy the banter between the two and they have some great guests and sessions, but I can't listen to them as often as I'd like. I don't really listen at other times but some of the specialist ... Read review

Advantages: Excellent info on a number of sports and betting
Disadvantages: Some of the presenters like the sound of there own voice too much.

Talksports is a must for all sport fanatics, the Alan Brazil show in the morning 6.00 - 10.00 is crammed full of humours banter, up to the minute sports info, debate and has some top class interveiws. For more serious topical and political stuff the John Gaunt show at 10.00 is sure to get your brain going in the morning, his right wing opinions are not to all tastes but they generate excellent debate. The rest of the day is filled with more sports ... Read review

Advantages: Can't think of any except that you can pick it up in the car
Disadvantages: See text below

...now going to give up Classic FM - except for listening in the car. If I could have interent in the car I would give up on that too. Reasons: I am sick of the endless programme trailers in between music. The chances of actually hearing music playing when you switch on are about one in three. If I want to listen to some music at 9am the following day I am sufficiently intelligent to tune in, I don't need to be told endlessly. And the presenters add ...
...c**p software used for My Classic FM, and has an ad once in a while which is a small price to pay. Actually I haven't heard the same ad twice as yet Visit www.1.fm and see how it should be done. Lastly the music on classic FM is getting worse. We rarely get to hear to hear a complete work - its always second movements. The Top 20 format is so tired I switch off now. As for music from the movies. Well, that is bad enough but I have to listen to ... Read review
