Black hole

The Gorse Fox was considering the radio. (Strange things invade his mind as he drifts off to sleep). Why does radio become a black hole of utter tripe at 19:00? Gorse Fox is usually on the last leg of his drive home from Worcester... the 19:00 News comes on, then nothing... well nothing worth listening to:

• Radio 2 - Bob Harris' Country; This should be illegal. It's bad enough that Country music exists, but to allow it to be played on public radio is a disgrace - it should be limited to consenting adults in the privacy of their own homes.
  
• Local radio - fatuous patronising airheads doing phone-ins about the colour of people's socks, whether dogs should have bow-ties, or something... there is abviously a glut of "stupid pills" going around, and people are becoming addicted.
  
• Radio 4 - The Archers; come on! just how sad do you think GF is? How many years has it been going? Even violent prisoners get to the end of their sentence at some point.
  
• Radio 1; well that's beyond the pale 24 hours a day
  
• Radio 3; fine as long as you wish to drop off to sleep - that isn't recommended whilst driving, however.
  
• Radio 5 - Probably the only real contender (particularly when there's a football game being broadcast), but can't be heard properly because the AM signal boosts and fades in the evening.

Well, it give the GF a chance to listen to some CDs.
