My station of choice. Infuriating sometimes but I do enjoy Mystery Hour @12pm on Thursdays Reply to this message | Report message

Used to listen to Bob Holness and Douglas Cameron when I first lived in London. Seem to remember they had an American City commentator who constantly told us the eighties 'Bull' market was about to turn into a Bear. He was out by a good few years. Guy called Richard Hudson-Evans did the traffic while Marie from BA listed the morning's dealys an cancellations into LHR. In those days it was on 261m MW while Capital was further down the scale on 194. Reply to this message | Report message

>>In those days it was on 261m MW while Capital was further down the scale on 194 You have a mighty-fine memory comrade Brompt, I used to listen mainly to those two stations back in distant past when our abode was in Bankside. I've enjoyed this mornings LBC prog so far, apart from the verts but, even the beeb can be a tad annoying in that area of late. Reply to this message | Report message

So we have lost Jazz FM and are getting wall to wall drivel and phone-ins. Sigh. Reply to this message | Report message

At home I listen to music. In the car I enjoy wall to wall drivel and phone-ins unless I have a passenger. Reply to this message | Report message

It's good to hear it is back on air nationwide. I used to receive it on DAB here in the North-West, but it suddenly disappeared. Reply to this message | Report message

>> Bob Beckman. >> >> www.independent.co.uk/news/business/my-biggest-mistake-bob-beckman-1559487.html I read that and thought he's only 5 years older than me making him 26ish when he was on LBC. Then I looked at original publication date - 1992!! Reply to this message | Report message

>> DAB Am I the only one who doesn't own/have a DAB radio? Can't say I'm really bothered that I don't either. The stations I generally listen to come through clear enough on good old anologue radio. It just takes a while for the valves to warm up before you can listen to them ;) Last edited by: VxFan on Tue 11 Feb 14 at 10:30 Reply to this message | Report message

Only reason for its existence is that our kitchen is a dead spot for VHF. We do however have an almost clear line of sight to the digital transmitter at Daventry.

Got 3 DAB's here, bought for listening to Radio 5 Dead & BBC World Service mainly, liked Planet Rock when it first started but gorn orf it now because they don't play enough 6o's prog rock IMO. Reply to this message | Report message

We have just the one DAB, which we've had for some years I guess. It gets switched on once a week on Sunday morning, and stays on for about an hour until after breakfast, and we never tune it away from where it is. Otherwise we never listen to the radio anywhere. So they can do what they like with all these stations as far we are concerned! Reply to this message | Report message

Don't forget - anyone with digital TV reception - now everybody in UK I presume, can get masses of DAB radio stations on the telly. Reply to this message | Report message

>>>Planet Rock.. gorn orf it now because they don't play enough 6o's prog rock IMO Me too but Mrs F still listens shut in the kitchen when a cooking marathon is in progress. I find the station sound a bit relentless... rock with a capital R. Just found this on the tube.. perhaps of limited interest here but some nice raw* early footage of Sabbath.. www.youtube.com/watch?v=clySTJtd81c If you have a very short attention span music starts about 2mins in. *Raw as in before the days half the sound at a gig comes off a laptop tucked away on the sound engineers mixdesk.

I'm assuming, Dog, you know about the many internet prog rock radio stations, like this one, for example? There are dozens. www.progrockradio.com/ Reply to this message | Report message

DAB radio is great around here (Surprisingly) - We have a set in the kitchen and I have a little Pure pocket radio. The V40 has a DAB radio as standard. Outstranding reception so-far where FM was iffy. May give LBC a spin when there's nothing on R4 to enjoy. Can't be any worse than R2 Reply to this message | Report message

Not having DAB, I have to listen to Gold on AM or PC. www.mygoldmusic.co.uk/sectional.asp?id=18956 Reply to this message | Report message

I never voluntarily listen to radio. SWMBO has it on in the car sometimes and I find it intensely irritating, with the meaningless blather which is prevalent. Reply to this message | Report message

Found LBC on the car radio on the way home. The phone in then playing certainly seemed a lot more intelligent than that dreadful Jeremy Vine crap on R2. Ed Balls on a phone in tomorrow evening, may actually tune in Reply to this message | Report message

I'm not a fan of phone-ins. Much prefer listening to an informed person who can speak in coherent sentences rather than the ramblings of semi-literate opinionated people who usually phones radio stations. Those interminable "How're you going?" introductions drive me mad as well. Reply to this message | Report message
