In my time back here some things have not been so good. Some things though should be admired. Radio for one. The quality and diversity of radio is fantastic and only seems to be so obvious when you have been somewhere else. The BBC comes in for regular criticism but the variety of music and other tastes catered for is great.
Pete Tong for the “official start to the weekend”, Terry in the mornings, The Archers, wall to wall sport and discussion on Five Live; so much and good stuff.
Commercial radio has something to offer also, with niche stations found by accident when travelling to Classic FM with its efforts.
This in contrast to back down very south, where commercial radio is amazingly bland and one dimensional with the very limited play list, save for Radioactive, in our local experience.
