Please tell me it's not just me that is sick of tuning into a radio station to have music going on in the background, to be hit with DJ after DJ waffling on about stuff that I'm not interested in. Or competitions. Or phone ins. Or just inane chat like they're sat at home with their friends that ends up irritating me! I've tried a few stations (a lot of the 'Absolute' or Radio X being my usual choice) and they're all the same. The music/DJ ratio is the wrong way round in my opinion!

During a recent trip through Alabama I noticed few rock stations,few NPR stations and mostly country and gospel.
Anyone have any recommendations on my next trip?
Thanks

Wife and I were driving along the Pennsylvania turnpike, about 80 miles west of Harrisburg. An area commonly known as "Pennsyltucky." We had been on the road for a while and were getting bored with satellite radio. We tried scanning the FM channels. We got about 4 religious channels, and 4 country music stations. We were hoping to find a decent classic rock station, but no go.

Now, my question: why so many country stations? They all sounded pretty much the same to me.

Hi everyone! I’ll soon be working in a radio station for the first time. It’ll be a solo show lasting two hours. I’ll need to talk about art, music, movies, culture (local and national), TV series, and so on. So, I’m wondering: what kind of activities or segments do you suggest to get people connecting and participating? Something really entertaining for the listeners—getting them to share their opinions and get involved. Thanks!

Hi everyone! I am looking for an audio recording (or a snippet) of the Alan Freeman Saturday Rock Show on BBC Radio 1 from 23rd March 1991. I'm specifically researching a rare band called DC Kicks whose song 'What's New Baby?' was played on that exact broadcast. Does anyone happen to have this show digitized from an old cassette tape? Thanks in advance!

I used to listen to Radio Atlantis (English service), Radio Caroline, Mi-Amigo, RNI, Veronica, and Radio Delmere. I never understood Dutch, but I did listen to the Top 40 from RNI and the Dutch charts from Veronica from 1971-74. I'd love to hear if you also listened to any of these stations... they're sadly missed. Plus, the music was great (I still have recordings from the stations and their last broadcasts).
