Everyone is moaning about digital (DAB?) back home - quality and reception inconsistent and patchy, etc.

Dubai doesn't have a digital service. Your DAB radio will become a clock- just like mine.

Get an ipad, docking station and TuneIn radio.

I thought it was brilliant (in London anyway). I used to love a bit of GayDar FM (until the presenters spoke of course)

You don't need a VPN to listen to any BBC Radio station live and many shows have a 'listen again' option.

Kittycat - you can even listen to BBC Radio Essex! http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcessex

I used to use this in Dubai, an internet radio, tunes in via your wifi to thousands of stations around the world

its also a dab for when you head back to civilization

plenty of people I find interesting, but you probably don't even listen to Dubai Eye but it doesn't stop you trying to stir up a bit of trouble :)

Kittycat, you ever listened to Coast ?

http://www.1032thecoast.com/

Always seems to have 80's tunes on when I listen and very little adverts.
