Do You Tune In For First Plays of New Singles?
On Friday morning Robbie Williams cemented his comeback by visiting Chris Moyles at Radio 1 for an interview and playing his new single "Bodies" for the first time. On Monday morning Cheryl Cole will do the same thing with her new single "Fight For This Love", appearing on the show between 7 and 9am. When I was younger I used to tune in to the radio for first plays of new singles, but on Friday I definitely tuned in more for the interview than the single as I knew I'd be able to catch up with that online.
Stripper Music Radio Station — Hilarious or Horrifying?
Alternative, hip-hop, country, rock, and now: lap dance. A radio station in Denver recently underwent a format change to become 101.5 The Pole, devoted to "classic nonstop stripper hits" from the '80s and beyond. Though it may just be a temporary stunt while the station transitions to an actual new format, The Pole is indeed spinning strip-centric hits until further notice.
Did You Ever Tune In For Casey Kasem's Weekly Radio Show?
As a kid, I used to tune into Casey Kasem's weekly Top 40 radio show every single week, always so anxious to find out what the No. 1 song was that week. It all seems quaint now, sitting excitedly by a radio as a kid, so maybe that's why I felt a little pang of nostalgia-fueled sadness when I learned that Casey Kasem has "officially said goodbye" completely to his radio show.

NetWorks Radio Packs a Big Punch in a Tiny Package
Not only am I obsessed with online music sites like Pandora, but I also like to stream my favorite radio stations from various parts of the country. I feel like it gives me a real insight about what new music is out there. My computer is totally convenient, since I can do both from anywhere, but I think the NetWorks Radio is a very cool alternative .
Was Russell Brand's Voicemail Funny or Hurtful?
Russell Brand does get himself into trouble. If you've listened to his radio show or podcast, you know it's a rambling, often rude, flowery and stuttering trip through Russell's life and experiences. Usually it's a lot of fun.
Helen's Lusted After By Tempest Costar Russell
Helen Mirren was at the GMTV studios this morning, looking gorgeous with her red accessories. On Russell Brand's latest Radio 2 podcast, he told the injured Noel Gallagher that he has a beard for his part in a new adaptation of The Tempest, starring Helen. This being Russell, he then went on to describe his plans to get with her — with Noel's encouragement — saying "I am going to seduce that Queen."
