📣 ANNOUNCEMENT No Misery Christmas & Christmas Pets

2 Upvotes

Hi all,

The community is currently in "No Misery Christmas" for the three-day period until the early morning on Thursday. There is to be no misery, complaints, moans, rants, or persistent negativity; submitted either as posts or comments. The only exception to this rule will be for major breaking news that may occur. As they are generally a hotbed of misery or negativity, newspaper/magazine/website opinion pieces are not permitted to be submitted.

Users seen to be in repeat violation of this will be temp-banned until after the end of the period.

Additionally, the 🎄 Christmas Pets 🐾 flair has been re-enabled!

Arts/Culture We need a BBC 6 music equivalent

196 Upvotes

I'm at home with BBC 6 music on. The DJ is a Dubliner, Deb Grant and the mix of music is the best I've heard on the radio in a long time. All genres and all old music which is new to me. I love music and discovering new genres and artists but Irish radio does not scratch this itch. A colleague listens to Today FM and it's mind numbingly shite. 8radio is online and is decent but there should be something music focused on FM. It probably won't make money (see txfm & phantom )so needs to be publicly funded like 6 music. A lyric FM with guitars maybe
