Radio3 is bad in the mornings- although I think Saturday is better than the rest of the week- but CFM is much worse. And that's before we even mention the adverts!!

Much as I like Charlotte Green, she's not enough to persuade me to listen to CFM.

No idea what KUSC is.

Knees-Up, Suzy Clein?

[EdgeleyRob]

Anyone on here ever listen to David Mellor's (I know) new releases programme on CFM?
It's not as bad as you might think,seriously.

A favoured alternative to CeeThreebies, when the latter is intolerable

(Incidentally, don't listen now - there seems to be a worldwide internet problem at the moment affecting streamed music - YouTube is affected too, as is that link to KUSC: it's all stutters and drop-outs. Just had confirmation it's the same in France, for instance)

He and Ken Livingstone host a rather good Saturday morning phone-in on LBC as well.

Not in the Val d'Oise.

iPlayer's awful here.

I've discovered that Radio 3 is the perfect alarm clock.

Fall asleep at around 2 am with Through The Night in progress. At 0820 there is the appalling phone interview with a nobody. Nothing could be better calculated to rouse me from my slumbers. I could scarcely describe to anyone else the extreme urgency I feel to get to the off switch, though I suspect many on here will know just what it feels like.

Agreed that Radio3 nis bad if not very bad in the mornings, but imo CFM is even worse!

I have tried but five minutes is longer than I can usually stand. Even when R3 is bad I can just about manage to stay tuned most of the time. I find I have an allergic response to the CFM style.

I thought I'd give it a try too so I listened via the CFM 'On Demand' player. I wish I'd not bothered and just stayed with my fond memories of Ms Green on Radio 4! It almost, and I must emphasise almost, made 'Breakfast' seem intelligent!
