Hi everybody,

I'm making small survey on automotive radio shows over the world, and need to know, which one is best in UK. Of any sort. But since i'm not in UK and thus know nothing even about the existence of such programmes, i'm asking your help. I heard that Chris Evans is making something like that.

Thanks!

Not sure what you classify as a motoring radio show but simply calling the late afternoon show 'Drive Time' does not make it a motoring show.
Radio 4 is all the radio I need and there's no mention of motoring on it.

Pints, was that a joke?

If you read the OP's post he says "making" and as we all know, CE is about as avid a car nut as you could get, so wouldnt surprise me to see (hear) him do a radio motoring show

Nope, not really a joke. Honestly trying to answer the OP's question: "Do we have motoring radio shows here in the UK?"

I was suggesting that plenty of shows refer to themselves as "drive time" shows but that does not equate to a motoring show. Apologies if it came across as anything but an honest answer. Was trying to be helpful.

If CE can put together a decent motoring show for his new R2 morning spot, I'd certainly tune away from R4 to give it a try. smile

Does internet broadcast count? as in Midweek Motorsport by the Radio Le Mans crew.

Here in America it's "Car Talk" on NPR. And I don't generally like NPR.

Yep, they sound a bit "agricultural".

Thanks for the link!
