Which radio stations do you listen to of a morning and afternoon to and from work?



And no I'm not going to play my own music blah blah blah


B105 is s***
Nova is was ok
MMM is old
97.3 women of the 80's
94.9 ipswich (lol)
96.5 family
JJJ lost it years ago....
so whats good these days?

jjj in the morning
b105 in the afternoon, changing to jjj when massive chunks of ads are on

B105 from 3-8ish in the post van.

Hamish and Andy for 2 hours
Kyle / Jackie O for 1 hour
Start of the Hot 30, Tim/Bigsy

All that silly pop music gets stuck in my head, I don't listen to ANY of it outside of post.

I've been listening to 102.1 4ZZZ it's quite entertaining really, the presenters say the most random things, and today I enjoyed a spoken word song.

omg what? sif not have a FM transceiver for ya ipod or mp3 player

get with the times ladies

I have never purchased an ipod or mp3 player

I have 94.9, 96.50, 97.3, 104.5, 105.3 & 107.7 on my radio in the car. I switch between them depending what is on.

Refuse to listen to Nova, they swear on air and claim it's to suit their audience - I am their audience and it doesn't suit me.

All those and 90.5 Flick till I find music, stay till they play more talking then it would take to play a song.
Usually leave it on w/e channel past 9 when all the bulls*** 'shows' stop, which ever I was on at 8:58 am.

Kat: You don't listen, clearly you're not their audience.

(Also have FM transmitter if I get pissed off at too much talking)

when i carpool with one of the dudes at work in the mornings, i get stuck listening to moyd and lorreta from 4bh :/

jjj and mmm for roy & hg

96.5 mostly. otherwise I try find something decent playing over 97.3 / 106.9 / 104.5 / 105.3.

936 - ABC News Radio

I'm old for my years ;)

im with thermite, ive never bought an ipod or mp3 player

as to radio... recently its been all 4BC or Triple M or Triple J

(strange mix i know :P)

JJJ lost it years ago....

==ageing.

I'm going the podcast route.

Thanks to BillyHardball I'm now a Skeptics Guide to the Universe addict. Want to go see em in Australia I think. Haven't fully decided but I'll look into it.

Also regularly: "The Naked Scientists" and "Naked Astronomy", "Stuff you missed in history class" (love this one, two chick presenters makes a nice change), "Stuff you should know" (cool, just two pretty average guys researching science stuff to talk about - topics like "How does the sun work?"

Edit: Man just reading this s*** back bores myself of myself. I've had a few beers though, s'all good.

I looked into the Skeptics Guide Aussie visit - it's in Nov this year and it's called The Amazing Meeting Australia (TAM Australia) in Sydney. I'd fly up to it. November is a s*** time for me though, have to wait for the dates and prices and stuff.

Kyle / Jackie O for 1 hour

epic fail, the two biggest douche bags on air
I listen to my phone through the car, which is why I enjoy this time of year because I get to update my music collection a lot easier

using the jjj 100 list I can go grab a few albums that I know to be good and I'll actually bother plugging my phone into the ONLY fyucking device that it is "allowed" to sync to, and update my music

buddyhead.com

jjj music is experimental and original (but with too heavy an emphasis on new music)
b105 music is frighteningly horrible

i've found triple m to be a refreshing alternative

oh and

936 - ABC News Radio

I like your posts Pinky so I'll trust your podcast judgement.

Subscribed to your newsletter and podcasts.

612 madonna king in the mornings, 936 newsradio all day then 612 for PM at 6pm.

4BC is the backup if it's a slow news day.

JJJ or mp3 player into the aux-in...

I flick between Nova, b105 and jjj to whichever station is chatting as I'd rather listen to them talk s*** than listen to highly repeated music that I'll most likely hear while I'm at work in the workshop. If I want music I chuck my iphone on.

hamish and andy in the arvos - jjj randomly throughout the day, but on long trips i get into abc radio national/my ipod

I've never bought an ipod or mp3 player either.



Hamish and Andy in the afternoon is getting a bit boring. And their voices are starting to irritate me. Actually so does labby from B105 he always SHOUTS!


Anyone know anyone who knows LABBY maybe we can stop him SHOUTING thanks to QGL!

They're all s*** when I go to work, not one of them is anything but a bunch of whiney a******s bitching about something or telling idiotic jokes or playing dumb pranks. What makes these wankers think we want to drive to work by the sound of their voices? I gave up on the radio years ago & listen to my ipod in the car all the way to work. No more self absorbed dick heads going on & on about stuff it's all music all the time.

If you're reading this nova, b105, 97.3, etc YOU SUCK! Less talking more music IYP.

I don't miss the traffic reports either because these days the M1 is nothing but a racetrack for snails thanks to people not being able to drive worth s***, OH NO A DROP OF RAIN HAS LANDED ON MY WHIDSHIELD I MUST SLAM ON MY BRAKES AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DRIVE IN THE WET f***f***f***f***f***, or d*******s in the fast lanes doing 70, GTFO.

nova.

Radio Red 99.7 for the northsiders. I wake up to it every morning. It's great because it's a halfway station - ie doesn't have three assinine boring dolts who think they're the centre of the universe to bore me with all their stupid life stories, but not the other end of the scale either, some super srs john laws get cranky about everything unjust without looking into the facts sort of radio. There's just one dude (Wazza) who is very un-annoying, sometimes amusing, gives up to date news and facts pertaining to the northside and plays some good music thats good to wake up to (sting & the police, crowded house, madness etc). I don't want to hear 'sexy bitch' on my radio when i wake up, nor do i want to hear some 4bh square dancing music either.
That's what works for me.

And when i'm in the car i madly punch the button on my falcon steering wheel that changes stations, i mash it until i get a station with a non-s*** song on. This sometimes involves me going through all my FM1 (96.5, 97.3, 99.7, 104.5, 105.3, 106.9), FM2 (91.1, 91.9, 92.7, 94.9, 100.3, 101.5) and AM (693, 936, 693, 936, 693, 936) until i am no longer annoyed by what i hear.

Oh and hamish and andy are the only duo/trio on the radio who are good and not s***house.

And while you're at it can you get Camilla to stop being such a useless slapper?

You won't be disappointed. It's a leeeetle bit left of field and the yank accents grind away at you, but I still love it. I really love those two history chicks, see what you think of that one.

thermite, a leopard can't change it's spots

Hey Kat, they swear on Nova up there!? They don't down here, it's clean as. They say 's***' very rarely but I have only ever head 'f***' in the Little Lion Man live version they played the other day.

people not being able to drive worth s***, OH NO A DROP OF RAIN HAS LANDED ON MY WHIDSHIELD I MUST SLAM ON MY BRAKES AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DRIVE IN THE WET f***f***f***f***f***, or d*******s in the fast lanes doing 70, GTFO.

this.

nova in the mornings
b105 in the arvo

mp3s for exercising in the morning and around the house

whats the problem with swearing on the radio?
they do swear a fair bit on nova

Order of preference for AM is 102.1 4zzz big gap then 107.7 jjj followed closely by 106.1 classic fm
AM 792 / 936 most of the time 'cept if it's a cricket day then 612, 5 minutes of kerry o'keefe is better than anything on the radio

The 80s guy on triple m or mp3

i listen to mp3's via aux in.. add infested radio stations play the most f***ing s*** music, makes my ears bleed

don't mind some hack, hamish & andy, but even that gets a bit lame at times..

jjj or cds/mp3s if the j's are failing me

haha kat, harden the f*** up

Refuse to listen to Nova, they swear on air and claim it's to suit their audience - I am their audience and it doesn't suit me.

Old lady alert.

I normally just do Nova in the mornings and afternoons. It's usually a half a each way so it's not too bad. I actually think the afternoon show is now better than the morning show.

Is Ash ever coming back (not that I think that's the problem) or is he still drinkin' mad booze?

10 bux says Kat swears like a wharfie after a couple of vodka cruisers

4zzz

Is Ash ever coming back (not that I think that's the problem) or is he still drinkin' mad booze?

yer, hes done pretty well to still have his name in the show title considering hes been gone so long

She does alot more than swear for $10 bucks sLaps, GET ON IT.

I listen to Nova if I have to listen to radio which is a fair bit. I try to switch it up but they all suck.
Nova swearing I actively like, morning show is no where near what it was, kip and ash not being there hurts them. Michelle is doing a good job carrying the show but the others they have in there suck.

Benny Te'o is funny as hell, he should be on full time.

Hamish and Andy.... driving you hoooooooooooome.

My favorite segment of the show is when one of them has to ring up about an ad from the trading post not knowing what it is and has to guess it based on 5 questions or less.

lols me everytime.

jjj purist

There is a time and place for swearing and it isn't in public.
Yes I swear at home in my own house with my own friends. But I don't believe bad language or crass comments belong on radio. No matter what the audience.

weird

yeah, right

612 ABC, perfect way for avoiding s*** new music, works great. If a good album comes out ill find out about from people/the internet then ill get it and listen to it.

5 minutes of kerry o'keefe is better than anything on the radio

oh yeah.....what a legend is old skull.

ABC 612 all day for me...even stream it at work. love Richard Fidlers conversation hours (most of the time. and the regular segments, Roley Sussex the language man, The Friday All Stars, and that random bloke who Richard talks to and sounds a bit like Sam Kekovich but i'm not sure if it is?
Plus AM and The World Today....and yes Madonna King in the morning and Kelly HD in the arvos, love them all.
mainly because i just hate adds and jibberish, even on TV i mute all ads as soon as they start. really annoys my wife when i've muted the ad then got up top go do something and the show comes back on ha ha.
but yeah i'm an old (Aunty loving) fart....go ABC!!

The J's in the Car, Mainly The M's at work cos its the what most of the radios people have on play, which is great if ya live in the 80's.
every now and then u get a 90's song, its weird ay, i think skyhooks are bigger now then back in the day.- Fail ! But in sayin that, u still get the classic like pink Floyd and the Zep's.

I really love those two history chicks, see what you think of that one.

I've listed to a few minutes of their latest podcast. Their voices seem pretty, good. I've picked out a few podcasts of theirs that I really want to listen to, so I'll see how consistent they are. But so far so good for you Pinky.

Definitely Nova. I like to listen to Hamish & Andy too so I'll flick it over to them when they're on. Can't stand jjj.

zzz

Can't stand jjj

How come?

triple j by far my most listened to, but not a purist like jmr. I'm not a big fan of Zan and Dr Karl has really ground me down over the last 10 years to the point where I switch the station now.

I love Paul Verhoeven (Saturday), he is fun to listen to. Alex & Tom I'm digging. The Doctor is annoying me now, he says 'very very soon' too much. Count how many times he says that in a show and let me know. I really loved J & The Doctor a few years back though.

Kate O'Toole gives me the irates. She....speaks....like....this....and....drives...me....crazy. f***ing string a sentence together already, lady! The other Hack reporters are good though, Tom Tilly et al. The topics are about 60% lame though - that's the main problem for me.

I love Rosie on Super Request. That bird is crazy like a cuckoo but she's just awesome.

FTR, triple j is on 107.5 here ;-) It's a cool number because it's the very last radio station on the FM dial.

Paul Verhoeven is on Australian radio? I am a huge Robocop fan.

FTR, triple j is on 107.5 here ;-) It's a cool number because it's the very last radio station on the FM dial.

Victorians doing it wrong again. triple j is 107.7, which is later in the dial.

Definitely Nova. I like to listen to Hamish & Andy too so I'll flick it over to them when they're on. Can't stand jjj.

Agreed.

Only time I listen to jjj is when they have Dr Karl or some other interesting segment on. And Australia Day - it's the only time I find they play good music.

switch between mmm, river94.9 (i think), jjj, nova, b105, 4kq... pretty much just channel surf all day. listen to either radio metro or afterhours.fm at home

Victorians doing it wrong again. triple j is 107.7, which is later in the dial.

Yeah Pinky, so stick that in your pipe.

lol Victorians

I stopped listening to Hamish and Andy because the songs the station plays absolutely s*** me

is triple j 105.5 on the gold coast?

I thought it was 107.7 in brisbane and then 96.1 for Northern NSW, didn't know there was a specific GC frequency?

EDIT just looked it up:

Brisbane ABC triple j QLD 4JJJ 107.7 FM
Gold Coast ABC triple j QLD 4JJJ 97.7 FM

Yeah it is sick, when you're down the gold coast you can time travel between 96.1 and 97.7

Hot tip
