Not wanting to hijack the thread - but those who listen to Radio X (or R1 back when he was on it) - what is the appeal to Chris Moyles? Whatever it is, I just dont get it 🙂 ---

Yeah, I regularly listen to Kiss 92, Gold 905 from Singapore, but my favourite station in Singapore is Class 95FM. ---

Moyles is a dying breed in the UK. A proper radio personality, who is a true radio geek at heart, bucking the trend of fast-tracked TV celebs with their 45 second identikit links. Like many of the best, he’s loved and hated in equal measure. ---

I guess it really comes down to what your interested in. For music I often get on the Digitally Imported app as it has stations for a lot of different music genres. I think it’s more EDM skewed but the sort of stuff that I’m into anyway. ---

I leave this here as this thread seems the best fit. Anyone else listen to Ministry of Sound Radio? I sometimes listen to it on Sonos and when I went to listen tonight they are broadcasting a recorded looping message between songs about taking a break. The Ministry of Sound Radio Facebook page is also gone (the album one is still up). The message on the radio website reads; “Ministry of Sound LIVE will be taking some time off the air while we work on exciting new projects…” Although makes no mention of a return to air date. I certainly hope they return to air although Raw FM isn’t bad in the meantime. ---

To bring this thread back to life, there’s been plenty of suggestions lately in both the “Great Songs on Radio” & “Digital Radio” threads of the following overseas stations that are seen as decent substitutes to the now-departed Classic Rock Digital, which shut down on DAB+ for being “too popular”. These include, among many others: [KCDX](http://www.kcdx.com/) from Arizona [Rock Antenne Classic Perlen](http://www.rockantenne.de/musik/song-suche?station=classicperlen) from Munich [Radio Caroline](http://www.radiocaroline.co.uk/#home.html) from UK [The Sound](http://www.thesound.co.nz/) from across the ditch in NZ can also be seen as a decent substitute. ---

[The Sound](https://www.google.com.au/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwjOzN_d29HPAhUX02MKHdfkBAcQFggbMAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thesoundla.com%2F&usg=AFQjCNF__ihhme4X0DTx9y3AvTB2oQGOXA&sig2=geBqH_w4oYzfdjhk69RDFw&bvm=bv.135475266,d.cGc) in LA would probably also fit that description - (album based) classic rock. ---

I get the feeling that The Sound in NZ got their branding and format from 100.3 The Sound in LA I like listening to K-Earth 101 on a Saturday Afternoon as they play heaps of awesome 80’s music. Coast and Mix from NZ are my go-to stations in the office ---

@TV-Expert Good list. I’d add Absolute Radio UK - both the main channel and the classic rock channel to that list. ---

Brian is a Jack of all trades as far as his music policy goes. I _may_ have picked up the 105.9 outlet via E-skip last week; it was an UNID Kiwi station playing 80s music. ---
