George FM

George is, for me, a compromise station. While it’s not my favourite (95bFM, for the record), it’s a damn sight better than commercial radio, and it occupies a spot between the two extremes that in some ways combines the better aspects of both.
95bFM plays better music, in my opinion, and with more variety. But sometimes that comes back to bite you when they play a 20 minute feedback solo followed by some laborious, amateur hip-​hop. George is far more reliable and consistent, but without falling into the mainstream same-​four-​songs-​every-​hour routine. Also, George’s ads aren’t as funny as bFM’s, but they’re far less irritating than the ones on the other stations (which are so, so bad). Plus George does its own news and stuff rather than relying on the generic syndicated ones.
Overall, this is a good station, better than most of the crap on the airwaves, and if it didn’t lean so heavily towards the dance/​electronic side of things I’d listen to it a lot more. But that’s just a personal preference thing.

George FM seems to be the station that is suitable for most activities. Whether stuck in traffic, playing volleyball, or looking back into your reflection in the mirror with a 20 dollar note in your hand, George provides a pretty good backing track.
George has a core of DJ’s over the weekdays, with a revolving lineup in the night time ranging from tech house, to hip hop. On Sundays they play a great mix of relaxed tunes, starting from jazz and easing into funky soul soothers.
I have to admit, I don’t like Nick D. There’s something about his boundless energy that really irritates me in the morning — but he does play some good tracks.
Chuck 96.6 on your car stereo and see if you like it.

This is my absolute favourite station to listen to when I’m driving home from work. It especially restores my sanity when I am stuck in traffic for an hour. George FM has an mix of diverse, eclectic and downright weird (in a good way) music ranging from dance, dubstep, folky and ethnic remix, house and everything in between. My favourite shows are the Selectah and George Drive, which is played in the afternoons.
George plays a selection of different music and it is a lot less repetitive than other stations who play the same hit songs over and over again in a different order. I just wish they played some background music while the news & weather is on.

The station for music lovers, George FM started as a small station playing thoe tunes that, well, just weren’t suitable for daytime radio. And thank goodness they did.
Growing quickly into a source for the latest beats, George’s selection of shows, including Nick D’s Morning Show, and Tim and Tali on Saturday’s will provide a soundtrack to life a little less repetetive than that found on more mainstream stations.
