I’d take the commercials ahead of listen to their hosts prattle on endlessly about whatever was happening on ITV three days ago.
I’m late 40s and it’s Radio 2 or Classic FM for me now if I’m not playing my own music via my phone. The banality of Cool FM and similar stations leaves me dead inside.
Irish radio stations are allowed an average of slightly over 7 minutes per hour of advertising with a maximum of 10 minutes in any clock hour.
Ofcom doesn’t seem to have specific rules for the quantity of advertising on NI / UK network radio stations. There’s a rule they have limiting advertising on TV stations to and average of 11 minutes per hour with a maximum of 12 minutes in any clock hour.
If you’re within FM coverage of Irish stations, that might be an easier listening experience.
Kids ask me to put the radio on in car rather than my beloved metal. Coolfm is drivel. The songs I can tolerate, it’s the insufferable presenters and their fake “banter”.
Cull FM. Hang the DJs
This is why I listen to radio 2, it’s mostly music and when it isn’t it’s not ads at least
Every morning my partner blares the radio in the house while we get ready for work. It’s literally 20mins of “WHAT WOULD YOU DO WITH £100,000. IT COULD YOU WE’RE CALLING THIS WEEK. YOU. IMAGINE. WHAT WOULD YOU DO. £100K. IMAGINE”
They are resorting now to bribe the listeners with a hope of nothing in order to continue feeding them money under the pretence of being a winner and then they can claim biggest listener numbers
I got myself a FM transmitter for the car. I Can use Bluetooth to send my phone to the car radio Brilliant!
Now I listen to different adverts 🤣
“I keep my bread in the fridge” – paulo, cool fm this morning. Good for you mate, get the music on.
Cool fm is gone, and now I listen my own music or talk sport or bbc 5 live when football is on. I think commercial radio stations need a make over xxx
