![]() ![]() So every radio in my house is still tuned to 247 275 98.5FM, and I can't imagine it any other way. And I never switched to local commercial stations because they're shallow ad-infested drivel. I never jumped ship to Radio 5 Live because I can't think of anything more tedious than opinionated callers and racing results. I never matured to Radio 4 because I need music and entertainment in the background, not intellectual stimulation. I never elevated to Radio 3 because my taste is definitely popular rather than classical. I never advanced to Radio 2 because I prefer a bit of challenge, not cosy comfort. ![]() They may all have moved on, but I'm still there several decades later. There was DLT on breakfast, then Simon Bates with the Golden Hour, then Paul Burnett and Andy Peebles in the afternoon before Kid Jensen at drivetime, and Mike Read and John Peel in the evening. I tuned in to the big One to listen to a mix of new singles and golden oldies, delivered by a succession of big name DJs with egos the size of the hits they were playing. At least since the age of 14, that is, when I finally caught up with The Nation's Favourite after a dalliance with speech radio. I've always been a Radio 1 devotee myself.
