The worst I listened to was some reporter telling us he joined the navy
as a lieutenant and had risen up the ranks to become not only a admiral
of the fleet but also a field marshal.

I usually listen to R4Ex at 00.30 while drifting off. Was amazed to find
it carrying the main R4 feed.

They carried R4 from the time the death was announced so a 00.30 it was
around 12 hours of R4 on R4Ex!

I had to laugh yesterday afternoon. I was looking around the local stations
Saturday afternoon. Most either had the copyright message on the stream, but
Solent seems to have two streams. The one on BBC sounds simply had an open
mike in a commentary box somewhere, I heard a pa playing Rolling stones and
KC etc, then a person bumbled up to the mike gave some reports on other
matches and went away again. This was on bbc sounds which according to the
blurb was a football commentary on Eastleighs game.
The one found via mytuner radio was actually the commentary as you would
expect.
After the second half started the sounds feed went to the right source.
It was more entertaining than sport as you could hear folk swearing as they
walked past chatting to each other etc.

I guess somebody forgot to press the right button after some other show.
