Local Radio in Accy
 

I am an exiled "Accringtonian" and I know that in Accy, we have BBC Radio Lancashire, but when I get back, these are the local radio stations I can pick up............
Radio Wave (Blackpool)
The Bay (Lancaster)
Rock FM (Preston)
2BR (Nelson)
Tower FM (Bolton)
Century (North West Regional)
Smooth FM (North West Regional)
Galaxy 102 (Manchester)
Magic 999 (Preston)
Capital Gold 1458 (Manchester)

Which of these is the most popular and most listened to in Accy, or is there one I've missed?

Thanks
Dave :)

When I'm in Carnforth I listen to The Bay but when I'm home in Accy I listen to Classic FM, but only to wake up to in the mornings. I never seem to listen to any radio during the day. I'm always flitting about.

You can now listen to radio Lancashire online............Not a great deal of help unless at the computer but just thought I'd mention it.

Thanks Mitzy.

Although I probably give the impression that I sit in front of my PC all day typing messages on Accyweb I actually tend to pop up and down and back and forth and in and out of the house.

For instance this morning I've been upstairs, downstairs, kitchen, front room and back yard between posts!

If the kids didn't have the TV on I could probably hear the radio as I wandered about (if I had it on that is.)

Sorry WillowtheWhisp I wasn't trying to imply anyone sat at the computer all day I was just pointing out you could get radio Lancashire online.

:D No, not you Mitzy - I meant someone else who gets the impression from all my posts that I'm an AccyWeb addict. :o

I like to listen to 2BR. Great little station.

Re: Local Radio in Accy
 

Yes, I like 2BR when I'm back in Accy, I have to say.
I do know about BBC Radio Lancashire on line. I'm glad about it, because despite now being in Hampshire, it allows me to ber able to listen to it - & I frequently do.
With the telly, through Sky, I usually watch Granada & BBC1 North West.

The reason I put the question is I am interested in media studies, & there is a whole clutch of local commercial stations around the North West, many of which I can pick up when in Accy. Although I would expect 2BR to be the most popular generally, I am curious if there are others that are very popular.

I'd forgotten about that until Busman mentioned it. At one time when we started a new thread we got a Bee Ad attached didn't we?
