    Default Local radio stations

    How are the radio stations in your area? I only listen to two around here. One is ok, but the other one is really crappy. It was fine up until six months ago, but I don't think they've paid for any new music since then! O_o Every day they play Dani California and Crazy about a million times each. Now, I love both of those songs, but they're really old. The Chili Peppers are about to release their third single, and this station is still playing their first one.

    Anyway, what are your local stations like?

    Well. In Los Angeles we have KIIS FM with the detestable Ryan Seacrest. I don't care how bad your radio station is, it can't get any worse than Ryan Seacrest. Ughh.

    I don't really listen to the radio anymore now that I have my iPod. Buuuut, I do tune into KROQ's morning show with Kevin and Bean. They are huge fans of Alias which means they are awesome awesome people.

    I don't care for listening to music on the radio because they do play the same songs over and over and over until you feel physically ill listening to those songs. ipod ftw.

    Our local radio stations are really poor. BBC radio Devon, I mean WTF!! But the Pirate radio stations he are amazing! There is one, nonstop metal and D'n'B 24/7! Its sooooo good!! They always play the heavy stuff, none of this wimpy linkin' park or Papa Roach stuff, I mean stuff like Lamb Of God, Pantera (R.I.P. ), Killswitch, Megadeth, Metalica, Trivium etc. Its class.

    Theres a few decent ones in my area. BBC 1xtra is great. Rinse FM is also great. Then theres commercial ones like Kiss and Capital. The only commercial station I like is Kiss. After 10pm, there is some really good UK hip hop being played with some of London's urban music playing. And during the day theres decent RnB.

    Capital Radio and XFM are good, but I prefer XFM because it plays rock and it doesn't have Johnny Vaughn as the breakfast DJ.

    I can't listen to commercial radio, because the proportion of adverts/inane chatter to music is far too high. Unfortunately there aren't any good pirate stations round my way either, so I tend not to listen to the radio very much at all.

    They're pretty bad. Sometimes I listen to them coz the adverts are funnny, but the music they play is horrible beyond belief. And often overplayed.

    I've never listened to radio a lot, but I have been moreso recently, as I ride around with my roommate a lot. We try to listen to this relatively new classic rock station called The River, but they play the same songs a lot. I hear Lola, Hotel California, Bohemian Rhapsody, or Stairway to Heaven practically every time I get in the car.

    We have two country stations, two classic rock stations, two pop stations, and a college station that only comes in during specific hours.

    Thank god for the CD player.

    I use to listen to Key 103 when I was back in Manchester. Its ok, but it gets boring when they do play the same track nearly three times the same day. Here in Bradford I listen to Classic FM.
