I can't get to sleep without the radio on 30 minutes sleep. Otherwise there's too much clutter spinning around in my head.
Bought an internet radio for the bedside a few years back as Im not in the UK. Its a godsend

Couldn't be without radio. Mainly R3 & R4, with a bit of R2, R6, Classicfm thrown in. During the night the World Service - brilliant.
Not that important. I listen to Spotify more than the radio. I live for my music, I have nearly a hour commute into work at stupid o’clock and I just whack on the cruise control, put on my music, drink my coffee and empty my head. That time of the day you might only see a dozen cars on the M25. I used to car share with a bloke that sulked if I didn’t put Absolute on.

I listen to "the wireless" every day I reckon Radio 4, 5, 6 and Tees mainly.

That's the best known of the 'numbers' stations going back to the cold war

As a youth Radio 1 & John Peel shaped my life.
Nowadays I rarely listen to it.
That's down to the banal, inane DJ's rather than the music on offer.

Thought Marc Riley might be your cup of tea? Or the aycliffe punk show?
Far more radio than TV. I leave World Service on all night, then it turns into R4 about 5.30 a.m. a lot of R6 in the evenings and weekends, plus radio on iplayer and from around the world. Radio Garden is a fantastic site for listening to random radio from around the world

Radio 4 and 5.i love "up all night" on radio 5. Sometimes I'll listen to Zetland FM when I'm driving into work. Still think it's amazing that I can be in a car in New York and New listening to live radio from back home.

It was essential when I was younger. The Friday rock show with Tommy Vance, The Hot n Heavy Spot on Metro ? and John Peel.

Is, and has been, probably the most important media outlet in my life for a long time.
Mark Radcliffe has been an ever present since I was about 14, and I dread the day he's no longer on the radio introducing me to new music or just filling the air with general ramblings.
This is a great book for those who love radio:-

Listen to up all night when I can't sleep. Especially like Dotun's world football phone in and the virtual juke box.
