So why do I feel slightly annoyed? Because since setting up the telly, I've only listened to Radios 3 and 4, and Nancy Elizabeth's Wrought Iron, which is hypnotic, late-night loveliness.

TV on the radio
I bought a TV licence for the first time, a few days ago. I'm a big fan - £142 to cover many channels, more radio stations than one could ever listen to, and the transmission network for all the other stations. Most wonderfully, BBC services are wonderfully ad-free. Compared to the cost of Sky (for which you need a TV licence too), it's an utter bargain.

Ad free sounds fantastic! Our national TV stations (imaginatively called Television New Zealand) don't have a licence fee. Instead we pay the price of 5 minutes of advertising for every 20 minutes crap programming - joy.
Ad-free doesn't just avoid annoyance, it makes a difference to the rhythm of shows - they aren't structured with some kind of hook every 13 minutes, and a recap at the 17th minute, which infuriates me while watching American shows. Instead, everything flows smoothly…
