@patterfloof @philpem and sometimes you can even search articles cross-site I’ve noticed. Makes me think a lot are even running on the same host/DB.

@ret @patterfloof Most of them are owned by the same company. There aren't many truly independent local papers left.

@philpem @ret @patterfloof Sounds an awful lot like how most "local" radio stations are owned by Bauer or Global.

@renbymon @philpem @patterfloof I really miss proper local radio. It was great. All the imperfections and local mannerisms made it. I hate the polished sheen and national ads now.

@ret @philpem @patterfloof Thankfully there's a good number of community stations where I live and that's pretty much all I listen to when driving.

@renbymon @ret @patterfloof I should hook up the rooftop FM aerial again and see what I can pick up... might be more interesting than Radio 2

@philpem @ret @patterfloof I'm pretty sure you should be able to get LDC from where you are; I can just pick it up at ground level.
I'd like to get a DAB and FM antennas on the roof for maximum coverage. :)

@philpem @renbymon @patterfloof rather listen to Manchester airport ATIS than commercial radio :blobfoxmlem:

@ret @renbymon @patterfloof I probably shouldn't admit this but I have Leeds-Bradford ATIS saved on my ham rig...

This is information Bravo...

@philpem @renbymon @patterfloof I miss listening to Manchester air band (and just generally all the various bits of traffic around the city) as a student.
