Radio 1

I don't agree. Radio 1 is just the charts..always has been and always will. All the local radio stations tend to be a clone of this. There are no stations that play current rock except Kerannng as far as I am aware.

The local radio stations you listen to.

Where I live there is a range and always has been.

I grew up in a house were generally I was listening to pirate radio stations before some of them got their licenses.

I remember once they had decided to apply for a radio license they had to go off air for a year. Luckily they didn't all apply at exactly the same time.

Never heard of Nicki Minaj so did a search:

Nicki Minaj - Pound The Alarm (Explicit) - YouTube

Mmm. Looks ok to me. The music's not too bad either.

OK so that's one R&B artist, played perhaps once every 3 hours at most. And she does a lot of rap stuff as well anyway. Hardly swamping the airwaves...

Most mainstream black music artists would be considered RnB, it always has been a race dependant term and probably always will be.

It's obvious: Radio 1 is for the Northeners. If you live south of Warwick you should listen to Radio 2 or BBC Home Counties, but not on DAB because DAB is for builders and hairdressers.
