Don't most cars have DAB these days? Haven't had one without for about 10 years. Or just get it through your phone? Or buy a little cheap DAB for buttons to keep in the car?

Can you not get it via the BBC Sports app anymore? They used to have all the County matches on.

I was bitterly dissappointed recently to find out Tradepoint have dropped their iconic 'Vindaloo' radio jingles.
TS have the rights to England away series.

Didn't realise/had forgotten til [MENTION=118]Hiney[/MENTION] mentioned it. I'll be tuning in shortly, wishing it was TMS.

I'd go along with most of this. Don't mind Brazil though. Also not a huge fan of Saunders or Seaman. The worst was Ginola though but thankfully he doesn't seem to be on any more. McCoist is hit and miss. I do like Parlour and bizarrely (because I know sod all about his sport) Dallaglio.
Never liked Durham but I'm actually starting to listen to him more often on the way home.

Never had one. Not in current nearly five year old car - never had one in hire car/vans either. Phone doesn't do t'internet.
I've been on TalkSport a few times, mainly H&J for finance stories and TalkSport Two with Chris Iwelumo. They treat guests pretty well, allow you to get a point across and actually debate the issues well.
Like many others Brazil is a non-starter for me, mainly due to his spectacular ignorance which he wears like a badge. Simon Jordan, as much as I hate to say it, speaks a lot of sense and is smart with it. Jim White can be brilliant at times (his haranguing at the hedge fund vultures who own Coventry City was superb) and a dullard at others. Durham knows what he is doing, unlike Gough, and as a Poundshop Howard Stern is actually quite good. Rushden and Glendenning are excellent and Danny Kelly is a hero of mine from the NME, Q Magazine and Danny Baker days on Five Live.
The main reasons I will switch over is the predominance of adverts.

Simon Jordan is brilliant in all his media work. Giving an honest and very extensive insight into all the goings on behind the scenes in football, the greed, a mine of information on transfer shenanigans, and doesn’t give a XXXX about making enemies. Not afraid to criticise CP either.
Crikey, have you been in a car with DAB Radio?
What’s radio?

I can't listen to White for long - He's a bell end of epic proportions - but caught him interviewing Roland Duchâtelet recently. There was definitely no haranguing and he was given a completely free ride to the extent that statements such as 'We got the communications wrong' as the main cause for his issues at Charlton went completely unchallenged. More or less all his guests are 'His great friend' or 'Fantastic company to the extent that it is like listening to a PR interview for whoever is on the receiving end.
He's only worth listening to when someone calls the MTL a pub league and he starts banging on about Rangers and Celtic. It's the only time the guard drops.
Not a fan of most of the crap on TS (bar Danny Kelly, Simon Jordan, and some other exceptions), but Jim White faces a dilemna of how to keep the communication lines open with the (alleged) crooks at Coventry and Charlton. If he went full throttle accusational, the communication would be cut in an instant and no one would ever learn anything.
In relation to Roland Duchâtelet, he is asking £60 million for Charlton, a League One club, who have lost £180,000 a week for the last five years. Other L1 clubs can be bought for a fraction of this.
Rushden and Glendenning are excellent that they are.
Their show is possibly the best thing on the radio, which is odd what with it being on the very very very radio station.
Rumour has it the shows being podcasted again, soon.

A form of wireless,, I believe.......................................
Blimey. Even the worst car I've driven in over a decade (courtesy Fiesta shitmobile) had a DAB. Controls were almost impossible to decipher but it worked.
The idea of driving without 6 music, 5 live sport extra or indeed Talkshite (if that's where the cricket is) makes me feel slightly nauseous. And I don't even drive much.
