Radio on at work?

if so, what station are you tuned to?

We are currently on Heart 80's. Now playing 'Temptation' by Heaven 17, a real classic.

    Absolute 80s (I think) has been on for most of the day.

    Friday afternoons we have a theme where we alternate a member of the team who has to make and play a spotify playlist based around their favourite tracks.

    Currently have Bruce Springsteen Dancing in the Dark playing.... She is American and am chosen theme is 'USA born and bred'

    Am a headphones guy, get a lot of "oh, are you on a call?"... "umm, sure, a call, yeah - will come find you later"

    I don't go and find them later
  • My boss is in charge of tunes. He usually selects any old playlist from Spotify, we are currently listening to Top 50 Karaoke Classics.

    Glad we don't have a radio in the office. It would be rnb all day if we did. And not the original proper r'n'b.
    I'd explode.

    Work in home office in my loft, listen to all sorts on Spotify but afternoons always listen to Steve Wright. It's more a nostalgic thing as we always listened to him on Radio 1 when I first started work. Seems ancient now but used to love all the characters on there Mr Angry, Mick and Keef etc etc.

    Not radio at the moment, but listening to Sketches of Spain by Miles Davis cd.

    When that's finished it'll be Jazz FM all the way.

    You need a special licence to put a radio on in a workplace I think.

    Yep , our good old employer got us with that one , no radio at work for us .

  • 'Music While You Work' was provided by the BBC between 1940 and 1967. The music was originally broadcast live and played at an even tempo to keep production levels up.

    The song "Deep in the Heart of Texas" was banned because of the potential danger of production line workers taking their hands away from their work or banging their spanners on the machinery to perform the four hand-claps in the chorus.

    … Not sure if 'Glad All Over' got the same treatment in 1964
