But I do a bit of driving for work from time to time and when I'm up around dublin Nova is the station I'll switch to. Purely because its one of the only stations I can get on the van radio that isn't diabolical. I've no fancy bluetooth or digital radio on the ball of scrap so nova is the best thing since sliced bread when I'm driving. It's just nice to listen to something that isn't the same 5 horrendous auto-tuned pop songs on loop. It reminds me a bit of rock station from grand theft auto. I swear every time I tune in free bird or something is playing...althouh they cut the song the moment the solo started :mad: No need to be all high horse about it. It probably is the best FM radio station we can get in Ireland. If we're talking best digital stations for music and variety. Then NTS radio wins for me.

Saying Jonathan Ross can't pronounces his "r"s correctly isn't speech shaming. Noticing other people's imperfections and even joking about them isn't shaming.

But they do have these weird ads/voiceover playing songs where they say something like "you can only hear it on Nova since only Nova can play it". I first noticed it with that newish cranberries song they were playing to death, I thought they somehow had exclusive rights to it or something. Until I heard them trotting out the same line for other well known old songs.

He knows he's divisive all that post does is bring out the comments from people who put 2+2 and get 5 thinking theres going to be a big change. He's a cancer to the station. Rock station me hole, classic hits is actually a better station and its from the same stable.
