This year it's 50 years since Radio Caroline first took to the high seas to take on the suited sods at the BBC. If it weren't for the likes of Caroline we'd still have the Light Programme. I sometimes briefly catch moments of the likes of Radios 1, 2, 'Smooth' 'Star' and god forbid 'Heart' these days scanning the dial, and I often wonder if it was all worth it.

Yeah, Radio 1 is sooo childish

Bring back Kenny Everett I say

Some serious adult stuff on in the evenings, though as the OP says the daytime stuff is seriously wrong

There was nothing wrong with the Light Programme:angry:, a cornucopia of delight.
Archie Andrews,Wilfred Pickles, The Navy Lark, The Goons, Round the Horne, Top of the Form, Forces Favourites, Hancocks Half Hour, Life with the Lyons etc. etc. etc

Steve Wright- Awful. I'd love to know what he gets payed for talking over records that he hasn't the slightest clue who performs them.
I would have thought that a depth of popular music knowledge would have been necessary to be a national broadcaster on a popular music station.
And Jeremy Vine moans more than my mother in law.

Radio 4 is for the cool kids!

Aha - The Goons were on the Home Service, not the Light Programme! And still surreally funny IMO.

The BBC can turn out dross as well as it ever did. I've just had a fortnight confined to the house with an ailment, made much worse by the wall to wall smug self-importance that is Radio 4.

Barnet,
I listen to radio 2 although I can't stand Jeremy Vine, but the rest are quite good. Better than Radio 1 anyway.


This is my station of choice, although I really can't listen to Steve Wright in the afternoon. There are some really good programs on in the evening and at weekends.
