For me...

Late Junction (3)
Night Tracks (3)
'Round Midnight (3)
Unclassified (3)
Music Planet (3)
Gilles Peterson (6 Music)

Dream Time (6 Music)

I've only just discovered Dream Time, presented by Zakia Sewell, which has prompted me to start this thread to see what other new discoveries might be out there.

All the above available on BBC Sounds on catch up btw, if you can't listen in real time.

As I've sat down I've stopped to think what to play on Alexa.
It used to be Radio 2, Ken Bruce and Simon Mayo later Scott Mills.
Now all have moved I rarely play Radio 2 any more. Am I the only one?

Still love Sounds of the 80s and Pick of the Pops. Otherwise not a lot left for me on Radio 2.

Still in Brighton
Cerys Matthews, Don Letts and Guy Garvey on 6music when I remember to catch up on Sounds.

But mainly all the FiP and Radio Paradise variations and Soul Betty FM via the internet radio.

Simon Mayo does an Album show at lunchtime on Sundays on Greatest Hits Radio which is very good. Plays a lot of lesser known tracks rather than the "hits". Sorry that's not on BBC.

Can you still listen to FIP? I'm sure last time I tried on the internet it told me I couldn't

Only really listen to 1btn these days. Have recently been enjoying:

Brunonumerouno - house music on a Tuesday morning
Balearic Mike - well, balearic isn't it. Excellent selector.
Wildblood & Queenie - disco disco disco

Minimal talking

I share many of @1066familyman 's tastes on Radio 3, and like a bit of Petroc Trelawny in the morning as well. A lot of this has been because of less listening to Radio 4 especially the Today programme with some of the newish presenters and too much Trump.

But I also like Lauryn Laverne (pity she's not on the breakfast show anymore), Radcliffe and Maconie, Don Letts and Riley and Coe on 6MUSIC. And random Portuguese Radio stations for a bit of fado and that lovely lilting modern stuff they won Eurovision with a few years ago.

I know that this may not be the genre this thread is relating to but Choral Evensong on R3 is a must for me on Wednesday afternoon. Today’s was from Leeds Cathedral. An absolute delight if you like that sort of thing
The thread is relating to BBC Radio, so yes, Choral Evensong is very much on the agenda, although I don't get on with it much myself.
