Mildly amusing the first time I heard it, but hearing it 97 times in an hour where the app constantly drops is annoying.

Martin Collins, Gary Davies, Daryl Denham, Chris Evans (who also owned the station), Ben Jones, Neil Francis, Alan Freeman, Tony Hadley (from Spandau Ballet), Nicky Horne, Janey Lee Grace, Kevin Greening, Simon James and Hill, Gary King, Jason King, Phil Kennedy, Jeremy Kyle, Allan Lake, Iain Lee, Geoff Lloyd, Tim Lovejoy, James Merritt, Pete Mitchell, Al Murray, Christian O'Connell, John Osborne, Lynn Parsons, Steve Penk, Annabel Port, Vic Reeves, Joel Ross, Jo Russell, Holly Samos, Harriet Scott, Tim Shaw, Graeme Smith, Suggs, David Tennant, Clive Warren, Ray Cokes, Dave Gorman and Pete Donaldson. The music isn’t bad but the news isn’t news it’s a Labour Party propaganda slot… I just couldn’t listen to it anymore and deleted the app and removed it from my radio. Sadly despite my initial fervour that I'd at last found a UK country radio station that played a good mix of music. I think if I hear that guy saying if you like country we'll get along fine several times an hour I will go mad.I wonder if, in the end, Country Hits Radio would be the good station mucked about by being brought into Absolute, or if Absolute Radio Country would be the radio station CHR should've been from the start. A radio station launched on 4 December 2009 on DAB, Freesat, Sky, Virgin Media and the internet which plays classic hits and is aimed at "reluctant adults" who want to reconnect with the tunes of their youth.

I guess, under Absolute, CHR/ARC can cater to a more niche, specialist audience rather than the Hits family's mass-appeal proposition.The Scottish Media Group, which owned Scottish Television and the Herald newspaper, fought off other bidders including Clear Channel, NRJ and Guardian Media. On Wednesday 4 January 2023, Bauer Media Group announced that all the remaining transmitters would be turned off and that it would be no longer broadcasting on AM from Friday 20 January, [76] [77] turning Absolute Radio into a digital-only station.

However, the delay in approval of the Capital acquisition would ultimately lead to the deal not going through. Tim’s Listening Party is the new podcast from The Charlatans’ Tim Burgess as he brings his world-famous Twitter Listening Party to Absolute Radio. Each is matched for duration, mood, artists and tempo, meaning that when the microphone re-opens, there’s no jarring and all of the services unite for the link.The station focuses on rock and indie music [1] such as Red Hot Chili Peppers, Muse, U2, Oasis, Arctic Monkeys and the White Stripes. We are the home of Frank Skinner, Jason Manford, Matt Forde and star of the IT crowd Matt Berry in his role as the voice of Absolute Radio.
