Focus is also good because they play a lot of music you don't hear anywhere else - it is just a pity conditions have been so bad recently so they've not been easy to hear.<br /><br />Most of the Dutch stations just come on, play a few records, greet people in the "chat" and go off again - sometimes they don't bother talking and play continuous music, which is very annoying. I like listening to Magic AM and Python who are a bit different to the others.<br /><br />Laser is still going strong although I would prefer them to play less current music and more oldies. But it is good the station is still going and you'd miss it if it wasn't there! <br /><br />But I do get a feeling it is in slow decline. Ten years ago you'd tune to 48 metres on a Sunday and the band would be packed, now there's hardly any stations on a Sunday.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28488709.post-20024434260246886622016-09-15T06:53:35.264+01:002016-09-15T06:53:35.264+01:00Agreed, anonymous.
