Hehe!
Perhaps we should start a separate thread for "why are the tests always far better than the real thing?".

I stick with Radio 1 when I'm driving, it tends to be pretty decent apart from late night when it's Colin Murray prattling on about his "midweek mobile disco" or something.

Simple really ....
When awake ....
Weekdays ...
0600-1200 Radio 2
1200-2000 Five Live
2000-2200 Radio 2
2200 Varies
0000 Radio 2.
Weekends (Listen less) ...
Similar really but R2 more than Five Live.
Must admit to a lot of simulinfotainment with BBC News on TV and Radio on low volume, selecting which I am actually listening to by attention switching.

That brain switching sounds quite interesting, wonder what the other one does when it's not in your noodle... Ah, the untold lives of our radio-loving brains.

Usually I wake up to Wogan or sometimes Moyles if I can be arsed to change the station on my clock radio.
For most of the time I either listen to Radio 1 or Radio 2, occasionally dipping into the local stations around this area, which means we have Original 106, Wave 105, Power FM etc. If Sara Cox is on R1 then I avoid completely, her voice grates on me.
If I'm travelling long distances on the train (which I do often) then it's whatever's receivable in the local vicinity. Usually a good way to kill time and to hear how radio is in other parts of the country (how anoraky i hear you cry! v
).

http://www.radiocaroline.co.uk - I consider it to be the real one, even if it is in a shed in Maidstone.

The podcasts on Luxembourg are fantastic. Really gives you an insight into how things used to be.

Well I'm starting to get a bit bored so am starting to move around the dial a bit at the moment, but normally
Chris Moyles at Breakfast (Radio 1)
Five Live phone in (although getting a bit bored with it at the moment!)
Middday News (Five Live)
Simon Mayo (Five Live)
Hour of Steve Wright (Radio 2)
Chris Evans (Radio 2)
have to say have found myself in and around Oxford quite a bit lately and been listening to Jack which plays some really great music.
