Re: BBC radio

It's out of range (by a long chalk). You'll have to get a digital player and I don't know if they make digital car radios.

Re: BBC radio

If you have a laptop with mobile broadband, then you can hook it up to your car radio.

Has the knob come off yours?

There one WRS (World Radio Switzerland) but you can only get it around Geneva on FM - how stupid a name is that??

Re: BBC radio

Download the BBC Podcasts, there's loads of them. Hook your Mp3 player to your car radio and pretend you're listening to them live.

Re: BBC radio

As Grumpy says, podcasts are the way to go. I download tons of them (not just from the BBC) to listen to in the car / commuting or on the bike.

BBC Friday Night Comedy podcast is always a laugh
