I have found lately that I listen to way more radio, and I include Podcasts in this than I do watch TV.   I much prefer the medium of radio than TV.  You can go about your day listening to the radio.  Other people find that they prefer radio whether it be podcasts, talk radio or listenin to  music.

Far too many ad's on radio IMO. Newstalk is the worst offender.

Since Radio Nova has graced us I have definitely been listening to radio much more than watching tv! I find I only watch tv if there's something I really want to see or I'm eating dinner/lunch!
Ahh heya!

Radio. Much more local choice than on TV.

Some of the radio stations are giving away serious loot. Cash Machine I think they are calling it. Over 2 million they have given away. Who is bank rolling this?

TV for me. By TV though I don't mean broadcast TV which has far too much reality TV and general sh*te. I mean streaming whatever show you want to watch whenever you want to watch it, ad free.

As for radio, I stopped listening to it years ago. The music is generally beyond awful, there are too many ads and DJ's who should learn to just shut the f**k up. It's Spotify all the way for me.

Radio is terrible, have Nova on in work because all the other stations are beyond terrible, its grand for the first few weeks but then you hear the same songs over and over again when the artists in question have a lot of other hits that could be played.

Constant ads every few minutes. Especially Newstalk. Drive you insane.

Today FM where you have to answer within 5 rings?

Someone won 21k on it on Wednesday and think another person won 70+k on it last week.
