local radio
Even though the window stickers are always incredibly tacky and are only on show on old Escorts and Astra’s, the output is never that bad.
I would say that more than anything else, local radio is at the heart of the community. Rubbish you say?! It’s up-to-date gossip… for example I now know that John from Portsmouth has won two tickets to take his valentine out on Monday night to the cinema. I’ll never know who this John guy is, but I know what he’ll be doing on Valentines Day.
They always have stupid names though: Ocean, Power, SGR, Vibe and Wave, to name just a few. All *really* bad. Yet when I come home from uni I always know that I’m home when I here the Vibe FM jingle.
Another one thing all local radio stations have in common is a terrible breakfast show consisting of one male and one female host, with the female early twenties and ditsy and the guy late thirties trying to be young again. No matter where you are in the country, before 10am you would never know what station you were listing to until you heard the station sample.
One thing local radio does do though is get the masses of restaurant, office, construction and shop workers through their working day.
