Radio Stations in the morning...

[Boogy]

Following on from the 'music argument' thread previous - what radio station do people listen to from 7am-10am (going to work time?). I have been sticking to the CD's because find the selection piss poor at the moment. From Forth One, Radio 1 et.al it seems to be pointless phone-in competitions and annoying presenters. Listening to Forth One one day last week at about 8am and had to endure 'what can you see from your window - phone in and tell us!'. Some woman proceeded to tell us about the cat sitting on her neighbours fence. Honestly, this is no bullshit!
Can someone help me out? Just want some decent up to date tunes, minimal talking, and no 'how many weetabix have you had?' type phone ins...????

I usually listen to Talk 107 or Forth 1 so of no use to you (I assume you're not Boogy from Forth 1 then

) - but I listen to these purely for the local traffic information really.

I love music in the mornings also, i gave up too with radio stations because of the rabbiting of DJs who love to hear their voice, Classic FM is the only station i listen to now, not everybodys cup of tea though, and the same problems are creeping in there too.

I've listened to a few recently, I used to listen to Chris Moyles because he doesn't play too much music and no ads on Radio 1. He has recently started to get on my nerves for reasons unknown. Unfortunately most of the others are pretty crappy too.

Clyde, Forth, Real, etc. utter crap, loads of adverts, crap music, personality free DJs.

Talk107 - Edinburgh talk show with only English presenters (that I've heard).

Great.

Radio 2 - Terry Wogan, music is MOR/dull but inoffensive, no ads

Great if you like TW.

XFM - New commercial station, took over from Ned106. Dominic Diamond in the morning, music is all Coldplay, Keane etc. with (very) occasional good tunes chucked in. Dominic Diamond one level up the ladder from the other commercial station's presenters.

6 Music - Digital station, the best bar none. Good music, djs are decent, no ads. Only drawback is it's only on digital, so no good for the bus/car/walking etc.

Like you I tend to listen to CD's. If I need traffic info I listen to Forth 2 only ever in the rush hour and switch off as soon as there is an announcement.Forth 2's Alex Boyd is a real bore.

I listen to XFM in the morning with Dominic Diamond that man gets away with some sh*t

I enjoy Classic FM and usually listen to it in the house and such like but as I say, I'm kind of stuck with Forth 1 or Talk 107 in the car because of traffic info.

I agree with you though about too much DJ time creeping in. Its bearable if its a woman with a semi-sexi voice (Katie Durham) but when its Mark Goodier, John Suchet or David Mellor

Great.

I think some of them are that weird breed - Scottish with an English accent. The woman who presents with Simon Pia is apparently Scottish but most definitely sounds like she's from the South of England.

Unashamed Wake up to Wogan listener (some mornings).

Can't beat the banter and light-hearted fun of that team. The Janet and John stories in particular are marvellous!
