I like a lot of other of the listeners moved over to Boom after falling out with radio 2. It’s the first thing I switch on in a morning as living on my own it’s like having good friends in my living room. I’m sat in a hotel room at the moment” waiting for the call for breakfast. It’s the day after my son’s wedding and I’m listening to the station before going downstairs to spend breakfast with my lovely family. Sorry about the long revue but had to give one. Ps No I haven’t converted my family yet. Hoping they will learn the error of their ways soon .

In stark contrast to other radio stations what I particularly appreciate is their reluctance to interview celebrities. These people have nothing to offer and generally end up annoying me. Who cares what their views are on the heatwave anyway? Good music played by knowledgeable and entertaining presenters wins every day of the week ### 5/5 — Pucker! *2026-07-22, version 28.0* Fantastic station…. The only time I turn off is 4 o’clock when Nicky Yawn comes on…. ### 5/5 — Radio Legends. *2026-07-16, version 28.0* Some great broadcaster veterans are here including two from Capital Radio and one from Radio 1, along with a fine selection of music. ### 5/5 — Memories are Made of music! *2026-07-13, version 28.0* I don't enjoy every track but I enjoy every memory they prompt! ❤️ ### 5/5 — Boom *2026-07-12, version 28.0* Excellent ### 5/5 — Mrs Patricia Deadman *2026-07-11, version 28.0* Since my friend recommended Boom light I absolutely love it.
