If you want to get a taste of these new right wing tv and radio stations launching in the UK this year take a listen.
Makes LBC seem balanced .
Radio ukip would be a better name

I don't tend to listen to radio stations that make me angry.

Just out of curiousity why is it right wing? Or why is radio station left wing?

It's a radio station.

I did see a clip on twitter of a man who had rang in to speak on the show who was a taxi driver somewhere in the London area who was only doing about a hour's worth of work a day, had burnt through his life savings to keep his mortgage repayments going amongst other things who eventually broke down in tears on the phone. It was a sad phonecall.

Absolute Radio 90's is my station of choice. Followed by Radio X and BBC 1xtra

They exist to push a political viewpoint, that's why they're considered right wing, similarly with the majority of the press.

Or they exist to play music or talk about subjects or practice religious teachings.

I don't believe in the Christianity radio stations but I'm not going to say they shouldn't exist.

It's right wing because the presenters are, they discuss a topic from a slanted point of view and the guests are of similar political persuasion as are the callers.
Yesterday for example they were discussing the flag story and the bbc news presenters.
The host had a 5 min rant about them and the bbc, then they went to a pro brexit tory mp who had another rant about the bbc , lack of patriotism and right wing snowflakes, followed by Three callers all having the same rant.
Much as I dislike LBC they will at least have someone giving the other side of the argument.

Exactly this, why on earth would a left leaning person ever listen to Talk Radio, other than to make themselves angry???

Where did I say I was angry? I like a bit of political chit chat, sad as that might sound and I quite like to listen to the other side of the argument.
I also do some work for rajar so take a interest in radio.
On that topic there's a newish station boom radio aimed at surprise surprise the baby boomers. Always thought they wasn't many stations targeting that demographic.
Might be of interest to some

The song I've found repeated every day that seems to always be on when I listen is Design For Life. 😵‍💫

Hitchens 20 minute call on a Monday is occasionally worth listening to.

Not a big fan of Boris.

Peter Hitchens??
He’s made a right fool of himself recently. Not sure anything he has to say is worth listening to, unless it’s just to ridicule.

Everyone has a right to an opinion, he's a smarter man then you to be fair. How has he made a fool of himself?
