Radio through the night

[TonyV]

Anyone listen to radio at this time of night, or throughout night, when chatterbank closes - which is preference Radio 5 or Talksport or World Service?

[TonyV]

But at least a "real" presenter on tonight on TalkSport?

[Mamyalynne]

It has changed there so much over the years, i had some real favourites who are long moved on.

[TonyV]

this guy is a stand in - but will talk - but not James Whale?

[TonyV]

who can you remember Mama?

[Mamyalynne]

Oh no though I could tolerate him, I was in from day one when it was just Talk Radio and loved it.

[TonyV]

that was when it it was talk radio - had Claire Raynor an others on?

[Mamyalynne]

It was and there was Anna Raeburn and Tommy Boyd.

[Mamyalynne]

Ronnie Barbour was my fave and met him once at a roadshow.

[Mamyalynne]

And the late great Scott Chisholm.

[TonyV]

Yep Mama - was good then - although the station is owned by an Ulster based company -think it is tied in with with Sky?
Why is Ian Collins leaving?

Last time I listened to night time radio was in the sixties on my Dansette Radiogram...Radio Luxemburg!!

[TonyV]

twix - when it was on barge in North Sea - lol

[twix123]

Tony Radio Luxemburg was a legitimate station, on the dial, broadcasting from Luxemburg. Radio Caroline and Radio London were the pirate stations broadcasting from the North Sea, but I only listened to them during the daytime

In the night, we put on Radio 4, which turns into the World Service at 1am after the shipping forecast. At 0540 there's a new SF, then Radio 4 comes back. We rarely move to any other stations.
