Why no commercial radio aimed at the 35-50 age range?

They are not bad. I used to do my late night listen to Magic on DAB but they have just had it removed from the Cambridge transmitter weeping

It was very good late at night as it has zero adverts, I'm still trying to find something else. BFBS is worth a listen too.

Absolute would be better if they didn't play the same ads every 5 minutes and play the same songs every morning and night.

I listen to Iain Lee from 11pm who is sarcastic and amusing (similar to ph banter).

Download podcasts of a radio show and listen at a time that suits you (plus it cuts down on adverts).

Another vote for Planet Rock here.

It's all my puppy listens to.

Real Radio here in Wales is good (very high "oh, I haven't heard that for a long time" mixed in with some current stuff, but sadly commercial) when in the car.

The DAB in the house is always on Planet Rock though smile

The DJs are irritating and the ads even more so from Rik Mayall doing those damn caravans to the idiot guffing about some Car Trade Centre, plus stupid phone-in competitions, it's hard not to hit the off switch. wink

Down our neck of the woods The Coast is like listening to my Ipod. Even down to the obscure Gordon Lightfoot tracks...

Oh

As mentioned, BFBS is pretty good too (DAB).

Absolute.

On DAB.

And around London on old fashioned kit.

That is all you need to know!
Best station full stop.
Correct!

Edited to add I have a DAB in one of my cars and a couple in the house but mainly listen to it through an old work laptop that I put in the garage connected to an old AV amp, both gathering dust in the loft previously.
