Shake me up Judy Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Essential Classics is a great listen on Radio 3, mornings from Mon-Fri; and Sarah Walker's Sunday morning show too. I find I can do other things as I'm listening so I can leave it on all day sometimes. Radio 4 for news in the morning then flick over to Radio 3. I went off Radio 2 a long time ago but I still listened to Terry Wogan right to the end. I still miss him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saturday morning record review is also worth a mention Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And now Zoe Ball isn't it? I almost prefer the adverts on MR. Almost. In fact, after the news I think I prefer silence. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kids are making this stuff in their bedrooms, now. For clicks and ad commission. Are you telling me we can't tempt a few Manx kids to knock out some programming for the "nations station", even if we offer them £100 an hour?. Music'd be shit though, wouldn't it?

Digital maybe. Arguably. But the cost of the transmitter network is huge. And the broadcasters get that at a huge subsidy. Analogue FM by contrast is a vast waste of bandwidth. Hugely inefficient. Enormous chunks of spectrum wasted on dumb mystery voice competitions and the hits of 80s. Edited April 3, 2020 by pongo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hissingsid Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 It is hospital radio by another name, stuttering news reader, dreadful music mostof the time, not worth the money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be your daftest post Sid. Manx Radio is great value, community radio, with presenters worth their weight in gold compared to other local stations. I really can’t believe the amount of bitching about a radio station . We have to have a national station for times such as now. What is so hard to understand about that. Can you really give a decent critique besides all the bullshit you spew about MR. Take one example. Listen to the afternoon show with. Christie De Haven. What a gem of a person and a fantastic presenter who knows the music scene inside out. That is just one show. The day is filled with things like this and I cannot for the life of me see why all 5his hatred is on here. I will never be persuaded that MR is not worth the money. Keep up the good work.

As has already been said it is hospital radio at best. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
