Makes me realise I'm normal.

There's some right weirdos ring up!

That makes me think of Alan Partridge and the weirdo phone calls he got on Radio Norwich, although he was weirder than any of them

LOL, that's a habit I've dropped out of; I haven't listened to local radio for years and years .....

I can get good reception on four local radio stations. Listen to one in the morning and a a different one in the afternoon/evening. Both have good programmes about local and national issues. Also easy listening music.

My MIL always has BBC Radio Gloucestershire on but it's a bit 'local' for my tastes

When Mick and I were first together we had to drive across country every Saturday to collect B and H (the ex would only let me have them for the one night then) and as we drove through Oxfordshire we picked up local radio there, and they had a weekly competition called "Tool of the Week" which wasn't about TV personalities or Slebs as you might imagine, but was actually the noise of a power tool or farm tool played over the air and people had to ring in and guess what it was........

They have a competition on our local station to guess a song they play a bit of , EVERY person that rings in and guesses gets a reply of " THATS A GOOD GUESS BUT ITS NOT RIGHT ".
Well if its not right it aint that bloody good a guess is it ???

Admittedly I only listen to it in the morning when I wake up and whilst I'm getting ready to go to work, and whilst in the car, but I quite like my local radio station; they play a very good mix of current and old music. And their traffic reports are always local which is what I need

I don't listen to it very often but when I do its generally late at night - 11pm onwards.

It seems to be the same people ring up all the time and they are either weird or moaners or both!

Here in Ireland, very local stations have an obituary section, announcing deaths and funeral arrangements!

I listen to our local BBC station - WM - throughout the day. It's not too bad, mainly chat and discussion. I have a radio on the iPod dock in the kitchen. I don't like stations that play a lot of music because what they play is rarely to my taste.

There do seem to be regulars calling in on certain shows though.
