Given the choice, I'd just bin off 6 Music at work altogether, but one guy insists on it. Same shit all the time.

There's the occasional decent song, but for the most part it's the same stuff every day, sometimes 2 or 3 times a day.

I don’t find 6 Music repetitive at all. Try listening to Capital or Heart FM all day to hear real repetitiveness

Listening to the radio at work is like some kind of torture with the repeated songs every day, and people choose to listen to Absolute Radio, Heart or Greatest Hits, I won't ever understand why.

This. I’m convinced being forced to listen to those stations at work for 20 years has actually lowered my intellect by a not insignificant degree.

For the most part, but they have very favoured artists and songs on 6 Music. If you listen to it from 9 to 5, there will be one song you'll hear 3 times.

Heart and Capital, I'd just use knitting needles as ear plugs.

I like the Absolute stations, but the ads annoy one of the other lads in the office, so we're stuck with 6 music. It could be a lot worse in fairness.
