Music radio stations should play music. The New Atlantic 252 does just that. And it does it well.

I remember 252 from its early days. They used to play about five records in sequence all day, and every three weeks the records would change. It was great if you liked the songs, but when the charts were crap so was the staion.

Things have improved. 252 still play chart music, but they do now lean towards the remixes (the Don't Stop Moving remix by S Club 7 is excellent) and alterative versions which freshens up the station completely.

It's still plagued by hundreds of adverts which is a pain in the arse, and the DJ's still all have naff names (maybe they are real) but you can't fault the idea which is more music and less banal chat.

Yeah its on long wave, which means sound quality is nothing short of awful, but you can get it almost all over the UK and the reception never drops unlike trendier FM stations such as BBC Radio Pants.

Give it a try - u might like it!
