As above - is it me or has it got crap recently?

 

I used to like Virgin Radio - Pete & Geoff in the mornings was entertaining, plus they played decent music. Now they have that complete twat Christian O'Connell - a cheap more arse-ish version of Johnny Vaughan :xxx:

 

And don't get me started on the fekking music :rolleyes:

 

I mean Virgin was always a good bet for some decent rock music but they seem to have gone more mainstream of late. I have the radio on at work and today, for instance, they played that Fekking awful "Smile" by some tallentless bint called Lilly Allen 5 TIMES....:mad: Just because it may be number 1 it doesn't mean it is worth playing. SHE CANNOT SING AND THE SONG IS ABSOLUTE FEKKING DRIVEL. I HATE IT!!!!!!

 

That shite should be left to Radio 1, Capital and (more recently) Heart FFS. Virgin always used to be about real music, now they seem intent on attracting a wider audience at the expense of their loyal followers.

 

Thank f~ck I have a DAB radio at work and could switch over to Planet Rock :bow: Awesome!

 

It seems there are no longer any decent music stations on FM radio any more :(

 

Rant over

 

Richard :cry:

They seem to have a very small playlist. They do play other stuff too, but they repeat the playlist over and over. :headvswal

 

I agree about Christian O'Connell too. :xxx:

They've all gone "Mainstream". I fooking hate radio stations over here.

Richard, Nice rant,

 

Must agree mate, Virgin has went a wee bit downhill. I was a listener since Russ & Johnno, way back !

DAB is the way to go ! :bow:

If you are into Rock, Country, Blues or whatever, its there.

 

Must admit tho, still tune into Radio 2 on a thursday night for this guy !
