I discovered earlier this week a new radio station, 100.1 FM, which is the BBC world service in English, and I love it! It has an excellent ballance of news and other programs that are interesting!

In the car, I never listen to CDs or an iPod, for some reason I have always favored the radio, I guess I like the fact that you don’t know whats gonna be on next! I also used to always have music stations on, now I rarely do, mostly BBC Arabic or English …… I feel old!

My schedule using the radio has been as follows - In the morning, it always used to be the Arabic BBC, but to be honest I was turned off by them from their coverage of the war in Iraq and to some extent in Lebanon. I switched to BBC English now, and so far its been great.

From 12 PM till around 5 PM, when I leave work, nothing beats 87.9 FM, old Kuwaiti music, excellent music for after work!

At night I switch through stations, but usually end up on 99.7 or the BBC, but on Wednesday and Friday nights after 10 PM, it has to be 99.7, great music with DJ Maha!

103.7 is not even set on my car radio, 88.8 I listen to every now and then, but whenever one of their presenters speaks, I get annoyed and change it! I also hate their entertainment programs alot!

All of our radio stations here are directed to people aged 13, which is understandable to a certain extent, but at the same time you need to hear something that makes you think once in a while! In the US, I used to realy enjoy NPR (national public radio), which always had shows that made you think. What’s the closest we got to this??
