Mostly music and certain ‘DJs’ are great. However, the constant pushing of ‘our partners’ i.e. advertisers, a bit overly repetitive. Some of the ads. e.g. “turn your trinkets into cash…” have been banging on for months on end. I know commercial stations desperately need their advertisers but there is such a thing as too much.

Although I’m a younger generation but simply adore this radio! It’s my number 1 to go to, only occasionally I would switch to Magic or Smooth, for half an hour or so, if I don’t like the current melodies. I didn’t give 5 stars only because I’m so upset with the news reader lady! The voice is lovely, but as hard as I try I don’t understand half of what she is saying, and that really is annoying. Sad - and destroying - feature of our days: diversity over quality. I remain hopeful that common sense will finally take over.

Occasionally some of the music is too modern or just plain mediocre. But then they play some incredibly evocative music that I haven’t heard in decades. The music my parents played and I was forced to listen to, but now utterly appreciate. My parents have now passed on, but Boom Light brings back so many happy memories of a gentler age. I listen every day on my Alexa device. I wish the lyrics could be displayed, then I would sing along to every song. Anyhow, Boom Light genuinely puts me in a more mellow and even romantic mood. Love it.
