Unfortunately, all commercial radio is rubbish in the end as they are
beholden to whoever pays their wages, mostly sponsors and advertisers, that
is why so many of the commercial music stations are almost clones of each other. Its the inability of the market people to take any chances, so they
go with what they know will work. However they are merely diluting the
target listener and increasingly, radio stations on the Internet run as a
hobby are far more interesting to listen too. Try Mushroom FM for example.
They are mostly oldies but there are tracks played which nobody else will
and where else will you hear Frank Sinatra followed by Adam Ant?

They seem to be changing their format somewhat?
When they started they didn't have adverts they had "sponsors" which at
the time
was a little different, always getting "sponsored messages" from e.g.
landrover.
But now, what they run sounds indistinguishable from adverts to me, and
come
from multiple advertisers on the same day/week, not one single sponsor.
Also they made a point of only having journalists and correspondents, but
this
morning they had members of the public on giving their opinions on tory
candidates.
Have they got any presenters as annoying as Nick Abbot or James O'Brien
yet?
Certainly going downhill with the adverts.
