the real question is:

how come every local radio station in the country claim to having 'the worlds greatest music'?

I think most of them are owned by the same company (GWR if I remember rightly), so they have the same jingles and slogans, modified slightly to suit the area

That's right. After 7pm, all these local stations network up. All the programs after 7pm come from a single studio in Bristol. I found out recently that these stations take the link from the radio channel The Mix on SkyDigital and just play in local jingles and adverts for their relavent area. I think this is all automated too. How did I find this? Well, the sky receiver at Hereward FM messed up a few weeks ago and somehow got tuned to the SkyDigital information channel. For nearly 20 minutes Hereward were playing out a guide on how to use the on screen listing system until someone realised.

On to another story, I was joking in the car with a mate as to what would happen if you phoned up a local station and requested a track that would be considered not 'poppy' enough, or something totally hardcore. He then got his mobile out to see. I couldn't believe he was doing this but the conversation between him and the DJ went along the lines of this...

Bear in mind that this was at about 2pm.

<DJ> Hereward FM
<Mate> Can I request a track please?
<DJ> Certainly. What would you like to hear?
<Mate> NWA - F*!k the police.
<DJ> Excuse me?
<Mate> NWA - F*!k the police.
<DJ> Errrr........ I don't think I have that.
<Mate> What about Straight out of Compton?
<DJ> Errrr...... no. Would you like some free theatre tickets?
<Mate> No thanks. Can you just play something by 2pac then?
<DJ> I'll see what I can do.

*Hangs up*

After 30 minutes of enduring endless Westlife, Savage Garden, etc I put my Ministry annual on. Made us laugh though.
