New radio

[V8mate]

Anyone else tuned into Absolute Radio?

http://www.absoluteradio.co.uk/ Also on DAB. (Probably on old-fashioned radio waves too)

Quite good if you like rock & rock/pop from the 60's to the present day.

Guarantee no repeat plays each day too. Hate listening to Radio 1 for that very reason; daytime programmes just play the same songs (in the same order?) all day long.

Is this the one that has the midget in its adverts?

[V8mate]

Yep.

Siouxsie & the Banshees; Hong Kong Garden playing at the moment - excellent

Absolute Radio, (nee Virgin) does do some pretty good music. But I've noticed a difference since they changed their name - more adverts and a bit more sixth-form / radio-1 style presentation.

Anyone else noticed this?

I agree, Virgin was always good to listen to. Now it seems to be dumbed down a bit.
