> [@Sasha (Turbo)](#): > > i swear to god i hate radio stations. q107 and edge are pretty good however. Riiight. I don’t like listening to the radio, but Jack FM is on at my gym and it’s decent. It pretty much plays the Vice City soundtrack. Other than that Jazz FM, or Foxy 88.5. That Z103 crap is irritating. Way too perky in the morning for me. ---

103.3 is good agreed but i find myself listening to the radio less and less am i the only one? im almost always listening to a cd, rarely the radio… radio drives me insane for reasons of the shatty quality music and the music they play is bad and often overplayed… meh… what can ya do? ---
