United Kingdom Radio Stations

The BBC still defines British listening: Radio 1 for pop, Radio 2 as the nation's biggest station, Radio 4 for speech and drama, and 6 Music for alternative sounds. Commercial groups Global and Bauer answer with Capital, Heart, and Absolute. English dominates, with Welsh on BBC Radio Cymru and Gaelic on Radio nan Gàidheal. Pirate radio history still echoes through UK dance culture.
