What radio station do you listen too?

[Pex Adams]

I want to know what you all listen too, either at work or in the car?

Being a sports nut - I listen to Sportstalk a lot, actually I must admit I listen to it to much. Its like KB, people talking shit 24/7 - I'd love to be a host for them:bash:
I also used to Listen to Si and Phil/Garry on MoreFM when I lived in Dunners and Chch. However here in welly we have Pauline Gillispie who has to be the uglist beast to ever be broadcast on radio, so I point blank refuse to listen to 91 especially now that Stables has left!

[Trudes]

Hauraki or Kix FM, no ads yahhh!!:clap:

[Livvy]

The Rock, because of their no-repeat work days.

[Steam]

[steveb64]

The Rock if I'm in the cage or the workshop, Alt TV random selection if I'm inside...

[Pex Adams]

A couple of girls here at work listen to Deezer.com which is just streaming the music you want to listen too. Does that count as a radio station???
Actually what does constitute as a radio station now days?!?!?

[Ivan]

The Rock but really listen to my mp3 player

[Mikkel]

If I have no CDs at hand I'll listen to The Rock in the cage.

But fuck how I hate those bloody commercials! Some of them are so cringe worthy it's not even funny. And then there are those that are trying their very best to give you tinitus - some weird logic about if you yell loud enough someone WILL buy your crap.

Oh, and in the good old days I listened to www.pandora.com - alas, that was too good to last.

[Trident boy]

:bash:Its got to be Hauraki is there any other have been since i was 15 Triple J in Ausie is on the ball as well:rockon:

91 ZM cos Polly and Grant just crack me up in the morning, and let's face it, I'm not really a morning person. So anything that makes me giggle is all good with me.

Tis the helmet, I tell you! There is just something about a helmet that enhances one's vocal abilities. I know, cos it works for me everytime....
I switch between The Rock and Hauraki.

[The Lone Rider]

I used to work for a radio station as one of the show presenters.

Despite that... radio sucks! I hate the radio.

Helmets are magical things indeed. So would you be listening to an MP3 player with headphones with it on, or do you have a player actually built in to the helmet? :blink:

[SPman]

BFM - well, not now, although it does podcast, so I could get it online.....
or 1YA the concert program

[Big Dave]

Haven't listened to the radio for at least 5 years. None - nil - nada.

I have the Hauraki playlist (it hasn't changed) on mp3
Pick up new stuff from from alt tv (where the good DJs are now) and buy it online.

No idiots yappin. No Harvey fuckin' Norman commercials.

You should hear me with the station reps :crybaby: :rolleyes:

[madmal64]

Weekday mornings Radio Live = Marcus Lush is quirky and usually a laugh
Weekday Office Hauraki or The Rock
Weekday Car Radio Active or National Programme
Weekends National Radio Good programmes & no ads!

A bit of a mixture really but I get bored with the same old stuff all the time

[Pussy]

I do like the morning rumble on the Rock... they put a smile on my face. Was better when Nick was still there

Hauraki or Kix FM, no ads yahhh!!:clap:

Man! Last night I listen to The Edge and oh my lord! They hardly play any songs after 10pm!

What the hell is a "Radio Station"?

Radio broadcasting is an audio (sound) broadcasting service, traditionally broadcast through the air as radio waves (a form of electromagnetic radiation) from a transmitter to an antenna and a thus to a receiving device. Stations can be linked in radio networks to broadcast common programming, either in syndication or simulcast or both. Audio broadcasting also can be done via cable FM (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cable_FM), local wire networks (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Television_network), satellite (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satellite) and the Internet (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet).

<DL><DD>

</DD></DL>The earliest radio stations were simply radiotelegraphy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiotelegraphy) systems and did not carry audio. The first claimed audio transmission that could be termed a broadcast occurred on Christmas Eve (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas_Eve) in 1906 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1906), and was made by Reginald Fessenden (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reginald_Fessenden). While many early experimenters attempted to create systems similar to radiotelephone (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiotelephone) devices where only two parties were meant to communicate, there were others who intended to transmit to larger audiences. Charles Herrold (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Herrold) started broadcasting in California (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California) in 1909 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1909) and was carrying audio by the next year.

For the next decade, radio tinkerers had to build their own radio receivers. KDKA (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KDKA_%28AM%29) AM of Pittsburgh (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pittsburgh%2C_Pennsylvania), Pennsylvania (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pennsylvania) (owned by Westinghouse (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westinghouse_Electric_Corporation)) started broadcasting as the first licensed "commercial" radio station on November 2 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/November_2), 1920 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1920)<SUP class="noprint Template-Fact">[citation needed (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)]</SUP>. The commercial designation came from the type of license—they didn't start airing advertisements (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advertisement) until a few years later. The first broadcast was the results of the U.S. presidential election, 1920 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._presidential_election%2C_1920). The Montreal (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montreal) station that became CFCF-AM (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CFCF-AM) began program broadcasts on May 20 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/May_20), 1920 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1920), and the Detroit (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detroit) station that became WWJ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWJ_%28AM%29) began program broadcasts beginning on August 20 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/August_20), 1920, although neither held a license at the time.

Shall I continue?

I am getting dizzy though...:sick:

[Mikkel]

No Harvey fuckin' Norman commercials.

Oh, they are bad!!! I in general hate jingles - but Harvey Norman takes this dark art to an entirely new level! :mad:

Not that Smith's City, Pak'n'Save, Bunning's Warehouse, et cetera ad nauseum are much better, but still!

[Spuds1234]

Im a fan of Solid Gold mostly down here. I'd listen to Radio Hauraki but its only AM down here and sounds like crap.

If Solid Gold is playing crap I generally flick over to the Rock for a song or two then back to Solid Gold.

[Big Dave]

Obviously there is a % of the population that tolerate it for it to have continued so long, but all the Shazzas shouting at me in their 'unique radio voices' every 15 minutes on commercial radio drove me away from it.

I'd be sitting here working and all of a sudden I'm thinking STFU Shazza.
Control the data flows - that's what you can do now.
I subscribe to 5 podcasts too.

[rachprice]

Radio stations suck! They play the same songs over and over again so even if there is a diamond in the rough you soon get sick of it.
If I do listen to radio I love inferno 107 in dunedin, sweet punk and rock including some local bands, though again they do play the same songs over and over.

[Big Dave]

Anybody listen to internet radio?

Nah... puters don't take too kindly to fertiliser dust in topdressing planes....

Seems like a lot of people listen to the Rock - it must be Rog's Laugh (Oh dear god, I can feel my ears bleeding already)

I think we need a new tread - the most annoying sounds in the world...

Nah... puters don't take too kindly to fertiliser dust in topdressing planes....

My ipod connects to the intarnet - won't be long.

Used to listen to a couple of stations in Arizona. Great to hear another countries take on things.

[Taz]

At work or in the car and at home mainly Kiwi FM and Bfm.

[Spuds1234]

Im a fan of Jack FM (http://cbsplayer.streamtheworld.com/?CALLSIGN=KCBSFM). Fucken awesome music.

You think the rock has a good no repeat work day, well let me tell you, the rock has shit (I mean about 100 songs on its regular playlist). Jack FM has about 1000 songs. You wont hear the same song in the same week.

They only play "what ever the fuck I like". No requests, just good music.

[BIGBOSSMAN]

Yes, BFM, George, The Concert Programme, Fleet FM and occasionally 1ZB (oops) with a bit of Sportstalk thrown in for good measure. Well, that was before Radio Ipod turned up in the car - "No static at all"

[Bren]

Solid Gold here too....wife hates it, thinks i'm old and boring (well I am when she is around)
I love listening to Blackie....grew up listening to him on Hauraki...


If there were any "Decent" country stations in CHCH I would be listening to them, but the only country station is weak (in signal) and pathetic in it's play list....

[homer]

The rock

but i hate tracy

always sounds like she needs a second person to co host

maybe its just me

[Bren]

Anybody listen to internet radio?
quite a bit here but only to listen to country!

[BAD DAD]

What I don't listen to is anything with "country" music or afroamerican on it, unless it's Jimi Hendrix. Also avoid middle-o-the-road type music. Oh and girl bands, can't stand them. Hauraki is getting harder to listen to because it's just so cut and paste and like the Rock spends way too much time on meaningless pap in the mornings. What do they need 2 announcers for anyway, why don't they shut up and play music? If I want talk or sport then ZB or National. Listened to Willy Jackson and John Tamahiri a couple of times because at least you know it's total bullshit and they're not pretending to have any level of safistication. Tractors and chainsaws don't seem to help reception of anything much but AM frequency.

[Spuds1234]

quite a bit here but only to listen to country!

What are some good Country music stations on the internet?

Im a big fan of The Highway Men, Kris Kristofferson, and Johnny Cash etc so something along this vein would be excellent.

I thought KiwiFM folded years ago?

What a waste of Channel Z that was.

[yungatart]

Helmets are magical things indeed. So would you be listening to an MP3 player with headphones with it on, or do you have a player actually built in to the helmet? :blink:

Neither, I just sing as I'm riding along..if I don't remember the words I just make 'em up. Sometimes I make up the tune as well. I tell ya, one can be most creative whilst wearing a helmet, and the best part is, the audience (i.e. me) Thinks I'm fantastic and very entertaining!

Sometimes I sing 'HOLY SHIT', under my helmet. Or 'F**ken Dumbass cage'.. One day I actually might get down to writing some more lyrics to these personal all time classics

I listen to "1.fm ChannelX", "somafm Groove Salad", and err, ".977 the 80's channel", and others.

Save the mp3 streams to disk and put them on CD for your car stereo, or drag them onto your ipod.


DB - now fully digital. :rockon:

[Phurrball]

National Radio. No ads, no bullshit, no commerical imperative.
I fucking hate commercial radio.

Also any of the B Net, and George.
