I will miss the wider choice of music that Absolute gives me on my old radios at present, probably quite lucky here as there will still be Smooth radio, Caroline and Gold radio but don't know for how much longer of course.

I am not someone who would ever be listening to Sport/Talk stations, although I used to like listening to the plays on Radio 4 (LW of course!) but haven't recently.

I can remember being pleased when Radio 1 eventually got its own FM Frequency and I could listen to it on the couple of FM only valve sets I had been given and not just on Sunday nights when it joined up with R2 for the chart rundown - turned out this was the start of the rot....
