Programme not the same since Stu left Sometimes it ok, when Beth Espey or Alex Brindley are doing the show. But the rest of the time it is appalling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be very stressful for attention addicts like 'Julian', cooked up with mother with no reason to live, how are you managing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cool thing is that with Spotify and other streaming services you can listen to whatever pop music you like. No need for a government to subsidise it - either via direct funding or via the provisioning of cut price spectrum space. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to hear soul music in 2022 you just use Spotify, deezer, Apple Music, Amazon music or YouTube music. Why would you limit yourself to having to tune in at a set time? Because I also want to be entertained here somebody explain who is being played etc . You might not want that but I do it may come as something of a surprise to you but we don’t all want the same ! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In which case you should be allowed to subscribe to a service which provides exactly that. If the demand for that exists. We don't need old fashioned radio any more. Clogging up expensive spectrum.

If I really wanted that for soul music as you suggested, I would rather get it from a dedicated station where the presenters are really interested and enthusiastic than a Manx Radio presenter who has been told to do a Soul show to fill an hour or two. That is absolutely not the sort of thing I want my tax money spent on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asthehills Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 All your Soul music radio needs fulfilled. 10 seconds on google and a large choice of stations so there should be one you like. All available in the car via your phone or via smart speaker etc. https://onlineradiobox.com/uk/genre/soul/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you know what I know a lot of people who value it for any number of reasons and for that reason even though I don’t use it I am very happy to contribute towards its costs . This is just one example of public expenditure there are lots of others that’s how society works ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the same as arguing that you don’t want your taxes spent on roads as you personally don’t drive. We have taxes and government to provide a range of public services - services that some, but not all, will use. When we ditch that principle in favour of total individualism our society will be infinitely poorer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly I completely agree with you I am not advocating that approach at all but saying like asthehills does “ I don’t want my taxes spent on Manx Radio is exactly that !

We need a continuous analysis of what services are still important as common resources. Or whether that money could be better used addressing need elsewhere. Libraries and old fashioned radio were once much more important to most people than they are today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
