Radio Sweethearts?

Mr Drayton's picture

Following on from the 'How did O Superman get in the charts...' thread. The notion that a song like that would find any place on daytime radio these days is a far fetched one. Running scared of the opposition, playlisted by focus groups, most stations are happy just to rehash 'classic' tracks and safe newcomers, flogging the winehouse/take that axis of evil to death. It's no longer broadcasting, it's very narrow casting. Or am I just jaded and cynical? Do you love your radio and the music comes from it?

...still regularly surprises me. It really is a wonderful station: worth the price of admission for Shaun Keaveny alone, IMO.

Living in Scotland

means we get to listen to Tom Morton on BBC Radio Scotland of an afternoon. A man who still plays music I haven't heard before that makes me think 'I must get that' and who still talks directly to his listeners and not to a bunch of sycophants gathered round him in the studio. Apart from him, struggling to think of too much radio that I love.
