Same here of course. But this thread began with the topic of quality at
the top. Of course most stations and all the local ones offer little
more than a sound background fpr the advertisements. But BBC, especially
Radio 4 and to a far lesser degree some German programs are different.


I would say the reverse. there is far less advertising on radio than on
television, and the BBC advertises more than anyone. Its just paid for
by the EU and by the license fee payer, and consists of wall to wall
progressive left Marxist and woke propaganda
