Favourite radio station?

[jaymzw]

Just heard the Wind up your Wife Wednesday on Robert and Jono's show on The Rock. Usually hilarious tonights was a little over the top.:shutup:

They phoned up a women after the husband requested she is 'wound up'. They told her that her baby, now 8months old, had been mixed up with another persons also of the same ethnicity (Tongan). Needless to say the woman was absolutely distraught, and fair enough too.

And this isn't the only controversial thing The Rock have done recently. Jono got in trouble last week for letting a guy explain on air how to make a bomb:shit::Punk:

Anywhoooo to the point. What is your favourite Radio station and why.

[Hiflyer]

They don't work anyway. If you check on the box there are some 'this might not work' disclaimers. I've tried it in numerous vehicles. Including a Bose kitted S600. Hard wire is the only way to go.

My current bus has a DVD player - several hundred mp3s on random.

Hauraki in the KR truck.

Or there is always Auxillary if you have a good headunit.

Just found out this bird got $500 after being wound up, well worth it then in my opinion

Inferno 107 in Dunedin

[hospitalfood]

[kiwifruit]

National program and Radio Live

[SPman]

In NZ - National Radio or BFM, depending on my mood.
In Perth - MP3 player every time!

[The Pastor]

the raki- just for music playlist, the presenters sucks ballllls

[Slyer]

My car has a stereo with a usb port on front, so just plug in my 4GB flash drive of MP3's and away I go. Either that or my 20GB portable hard drive.

[frogfeaturesFZR]

[gatch]

In palmy north, listen to "the rev", metal, d n b, the dj's aren't poofters. all is well.

Is this about your sex life?

[cambridgedan]

well on the bike the ipod works a treat but the morning crew and mark flinny and steve are alright on Zm

Okay so i dont really care what granny's on the dole think about Bill English or Taeto Phillip Fields nor do i care about what some fat bastards opinion of the All Blacks and how to fix them is so i didn't put them in.

Actually those are the reasons i dont like them. The reason i didnt put them in is because they dont play music

[MisterD]

The reason i didnt put them in is because they dont play music

Oh, I dunno, Willie & JT give you "Ten Guitars" every now and then...

[ynot slow]

The Rock and Hauraki weekends sometimes.

Back to birth mix ups,I was born on 24th,another guy born 25th,both had same surname,both had same first initial(once names finalised)not related,except I was 7lb,he was 10lb.Then when I went to Intermediate school we were in the same class.Man he was a big bastard.

[325rocket]

radio live all the way

[Cheshire Cat]

bFM!!!! lol...not really.
I love Hauraki !!!!
:Punk: :sunny: :drinknsin

+1

it's like a best of compilation all the time

[Cheshire Cat]

I see flava and mai fm have no votes....:laugh: I hope it stays that way!

[RDjase]

I like The Rock
the wind up your wife 2day went down like a cold cup of sick, it was a bit mean, but i think a better(worse) one was when they rung a woman and said the house she had just finished renovating had been P lab and "The Destroying Team" had to come and bowl it at her expense and no insurence. I was driving when i heard it and had to pull over lol

[RDjase]

I see flava and mai fm have no votes....:laugh: I hope it stays that way!

Right on Cheshire Cat:Punk:

[fridayflash]

i listen to the national programme on radio nz, gets me through
the day with interesting news, bird calls, two book readings
(morn and arvo) and some good music too, second choice would
be hauraki or solid gold

[Leyton]

Yeah, Go Hauraki!!

[Cheshire Cat]

Yeah, Go Hauraki!!

Godlike!! :banana:

[Wiki Drifter]

Change in tastes as I get older:

Mai FM -> ZM -> The Rock -> Life FM (am not even christian:blink:) & Classic Hits :confused:

For news there's National Radio & BBC on AM

[Maha]

I think Hauraki has a limited play list.
The morning Pirates keep it alive.

If they say...'coming up we have Led Zepplin/Uriah Heap and Van Halen, you could pretty get ready for 'Whole lotta love'/'Gypsy' and 'Panama'.

MoreFM probably the least amount of song per hour...too much yabba.

[Phurrball]

Radio NZ is the last bastion of 'proper' radio in this country.

No ads and (relatively well resourced) quality programming as others have said.

That said, community radio, B net (student radio) and low power stations are pretty close to what radio ought to be as well. Though I have a soft spot for George FM which, much to my chagrin, was recently gobbled by one head of the two-headed commercial radio monster

Radio should NOT be about selling things, and that's what all the stations on the list are about - 'tis why it's called commercial radio. Some are OK for short stints, but as soon as the ads or 'hilarious banter' come on I feel my blood pressure rise and I change back to something more sane (if I can - workplaces present difficulty)

Only one country in the OECD spends LESS on public broadcasting than NZ (The US). That's a pretty sad indictment on NZ. This fact is especially obvious when looking at TVNZ...

TVNZ is expected to make money. RNZ provides a national service. Spot the difference in quality.

The tory scoundrels in power now had better leave RNZ alone...I'd be the first to go militant if they fuck with it.

[Grahameeboy]

You didn't put Life FM

[Motu]

I hate DJ's,and breakfast ones are extra annoying.I prefer stations with as little DJ or add content.If I was given a choice it would be Coast...love the music too.

Over the years I've twiddled the dial looking for something special - there was a classic station called Cool 93 that was canned....then that frequency started to just play music alone,wow,great.Then Blakkie came on it was Solid Gold.There was also Cool Blue - just played jazz and blues with no DJ,and an online playlist....had that as my workshop station until it was stopped.Then came Coast....get some jazz and standards on the play list,so worth a listen to me.

[CookMySock]

SomaFM Groove Salad, by several orders of magnitude.

[Timber020]

National radio. I have peltor worktunes in my chainsaw helmet, listen to it all day, everything else is just noise.

They had some great black sabbath on today.

[Bradz]

Newstalk ZB, gotta love all the whinging

[oldrider]

Radio "live", (because no reception) it gets channelled down via our own local area repeater! :mellow:

Piss poor but no choice, talkback radio is depressing, NZ is sooooo full of "socialist" fuckwitts! :confused:

[puddytat]

Nat Rad for me,then it'd be the student radio...

[EJK]

What chanel does Police use? It was around 75.9 Mhz wasn't it? How do you get it that low? I'd be a big fan of that radio station :shifty:

[MadDuck]

89.9 or 97.8 its Times Fm with Clint Brown. Local radio for local people.

Oh and we spend a friggin shite loads on advertising on there :Punk:

[fridayflash]

'the wacky morning dj says democracys a joke'

cake...... 'comfort eagle'

[fridayflash]

does anyone remember wily de-witt on funny business?
they used to do a skit taking the piss out of morning radio dj's
called 'the morning menagerie' and now he's doing it on hauraki lol
top bloke but....

[MadDuck]

does anyone remember wily de-witt on funny business?.

Yes unless that means I am old!

[jaymzw]

Thanks Spank. BFM is now up, and you can vote more than once so all good. Still no votes for More FM though. Mind you i did make this a public poll so maybe the people are a little ashamed

[ManDownUnder]

My mp3 playlists. No ads, no blithering idiots.

... and you come into KB to make up for those shortcomings?

[SARGE]

+1 .. NZ radio sucks ..

[Usarka]

Thanks Spank. BFM is now up, and you can vote more than once so all good. Still no votes for More FM though. Mind you i did make this a public poll so maybe the people are a little ashamed

My other vote should be under the b, bro. All other radio stations are shit.

[RC1]

george fm :wari:

[Murray]

Radio Sport!!! Then Haurakei, ocassionally Coast when in Auckland

[tri boy]

Lil ol Kawhia has it's own community station.
"The Coast with da most"
Great lil station, but only available close to Kawhia.
R+B, Reggae, old crooners etc
Great to kick back on the porch, and eat brekky to.

[MisterD]

$5 says I'm the only KB'er downloading Terry Wogan podcasts...

[007XX]

I voted ZM just cos of Polly...and you can all bite me if you don't like it! :bleh:

She's funny as hell and when I had a life and listened to radio in the mornings on the way to work, she was the one thing that made traffic in a cage bearable.

However, Hauraki when I get bored with ZM's rather repetitive playlist.

[Pixie]

Dolly Parton's Biggest Hits in the World

[Trudes]

In Wellington there's a little radio station called KIX FM (http://www.kixfm.co.nz/). No ads, there is a recorded announcer who comes on maybe every 3 or 4 songs to tell you what station you're tuned to then back to the music. It's fantastic!! They play rock mainly so suits me.

[Rodney007]

Just heard the Wind up your Wife Wednesday on Robert and Jono's show on The Rock. Usually hilarious tonights was a little over the top.:shutup:

They phoned up a women after the husband requested she is 'wound up'. They told her that her baby, now 8months old, had been mixed up with another persons also of the same ethnicity (Tongan). Needless to say the woman was absolutely distraught, and fair enough too.

And this isn't the only controversial thing The Rock have done recently. Jono got in trouble last week for letting a guy explain on air how to make a bomb:shit::Punk:

Anywhoooo to the point. What is your favourite Radio station and why.

yea that was funny/ sad, loved it when he said its okay its robert and jono from the rock radio station ........ "fuck off" (hang up

gold

[Big Dave]

Call me an Ignore Amos, a disciple of the Sarge-way.

I enjoy some of the jocks, but the commercials with a 'character' voice spewing forth as many words as possible within the allocated 15 seconds just makes me think 'go and get ferked' and hit the mp3 button.

[ready4whatever]

national and zm

[tate35]

in the past i was a hauraki listener, but hardly get to listen these days,
although sometimes a little classic hits at home on the weekends.....

[EJK]

Is there a way we can listen to these stations?

http://www.qsl.net/zl3tmb/scanner/freq.html

[rebel]

Used to be a Hauraki fan, but now they play shit like Nickelback, Hinder, Matchbox 20, next it will be Nsync, so fuck em.

We have The Rock going all day at work and I'd rather listen to an angle grinder for 8 hours. They play the same shit over and over again and thrash the (crap ) NZ music.

If I do have to listen to the radio it will be a mix between More FM, Coast, the Breeze and Solid Gold, cos I know I probably wont hear the same song twice.

But I think the ipod is one of the best inventions out there.

[marty]

I work permanent night shift, and it is interesting to listen to song choice on various stations. Earlier this week the Rock played ACDC, then a Michael Jackson cover song in succession, twice in the night. They have changed to an all-night DJ (starts at 2am) but it hasn't improved it. They play WIYW repeats ad-nauseam all night.

The Raki is losing the plot - anything post-2000 should be banned from 'classic rock that rocks'.

ZM has a cool Ministry of Sounds special on Saturday nights - great open hangar loud work music. Led Before Bed and Think Pink on the Raki redeem them somewhat.

In my car, it's Talk Sport.

[Usarka]

but the commercials with a 'character' voice spewing forth as many words as possible within the allocated 15 seconds just makes me think 'go and get ferked' and hit the mp3 button.

95Bfm do their own commercials, and I find i usually actually enjoy listening to them.

Like the cheapskates (khyber pass) advert:

Dad: "I'm taking your mum up the khyber"
Mum: "Kids, do you want your dad to take you up the khyber too?"
Kids: "Euuuuw, gay!":killingme

[Okey Dokey]

Other- National Radio, aka Radio NZ National. Morning Report every morning, Kim Hill on Sat morning. Long range weather forecast. Best of all, no ads.

For music, I usually just put on a cd of my own.
