I'd like to just give some thanks to the author; I use this sometimes when I'm feeling homesick to hear my old local radio stations in the UK. It really quells the feeling of disconnect I sometimes feel to my homeland and gives me comfort when I feel wayward in my spirit.


This is an interesting comment in that the stations in my home town are no longer the same. Clear Channel has come in bought up all (only a slight exaggeration) of the stations. The stations I listened to as a kid are no longer around, and some of the stations that are still on the air are different formats. If child me were to listen to radio today, nothing would be recognizable


largely this is true for me, with the exception of Heart FM and BBC.

However the UK has strong regional accents (especially in ads) and local radio tends to reflect that, which makes me feel like home.
