I don't think I will be doing so again. I clearly am not in their target audience. Way too shouty and it is about one third adverts to two thirds 'talk'.

I think it is aimed at 51.7% of the population.

Fewer adverts than most radio stations.

I also found it quite refreshing to hear a proper discussion on a subject, rather than the usual vanilla chat you have on most sports channels.

Although appreciate its a bit "blokes down the pub" in terms of delivery, so not for everyone.

In fairness, this is probably the worst show on the station - Trans Europe Express on a Sunday evening is probably the only decent show imo

'Fewer adverts than most radio stations.'

...except for the proper BBC ones.

H & J are fun. Adrian Durham not everyone's cuppa but I like him. Can't listen, though, when he has the idiot Gough alongside.

Ditto. Loads of chaff and not much wheat.

Just re-tuned back to my usual BBC station.

I'm not altogether sure where the 'other' ones are on my wireless, except Radio Luxembourg, which is right up the end.

I have heard that a few times.

About 15-16 years ago, I used to listen to Tommy Boyd on a late Sunday show. It was a free for all where people would phone in with random things and it was utterly mental.

Sounds like they have continued that theme with Adrian Duhram.

Brazil/McCoist are a good laugh...Hawksbee and Jacobs is a top show, probably the best thing on the radio imo

....on Talk Radio.

He often cited Boyd as his mentor.

Now it's just a load of political loons spouting offensive crap.
