Only if you are straight AND uptight.

It could be vaguely worrying if you were gay and not out.

If you have an Android phone, then the TuneIn Radio app will get you a
lot of stations. Probably similar for iPhone at a guess.

when radio oxford put on football for example i can switch to radio solent
to get the show i'm missing.

OTOH you might find that you can't listen to the match on your internet
radio because its blacked out for copyright reasons. This is very common
with US stations (so no free baseball for me!) but, for example, 5Live often
goes "dead" when England commentary is on the airwaves [1].

Love internet radio. Very interesting to listen to, say, the US take on the
banking crisis. Haven't yet convinced my daughter to improve her spanish by
listening to a few spanish stations though.

[1] At least it did last time I tried. They actually streamed silence
rather than even a useful rolling "sorry gov, don't have the internet
rights".

Which meaning of gay are you using? 1st, 2nd or 3rd?




the app clearly considered that given the music i had been listening to,
i might like to listen to a radio station aimed at the homosexual
community - i must confess that i did have a steps track playing the
other day - my excuse is that the mp3s on my iphone come from a pc at
home that at times my brother has loaded up with lame tracks.
