   I have travelled to a lot of places over the years and listened to a lot of radio but I can categorically say that I've never heard radio worse than the stations in Cork.

   They are all doing shock jock type phone-ins, some of the guests sound drunk, and one station (96 FM?) had an actual fight with swearing and threats on air - "you come over here and say that, you wouldn't last five fucking minutes!"

      Radio is not rocket science. Play some tunes, give out some news, sports results, information, have a bit of a chat and a laugh. Make sure everyone on air is sober, don't swear and don't blast out threats.

      I've always loved listening to radio stations big and small on my travels - this is the first place where I've thought "fuck this, I'll drive in silence instead".
