READING SKILLS
1 Read the description of the six radio stations. Match the questions (1-7) to the correct station (A-F).
There is one extra heading.
Online Radio
BBC stations online
A Radio 1: is the station for all other new music. There is pop music, alternative rock and some
dance music. During the day, the DJs talk a lot and there are quizzes and competitions. The music
isn t as important as the fun. In the evening, the music gets stranger and the DJ s get quieter.
Sometimes you think that the DJ s who work during the day just want to be famous but the DJ s on
the evening shows are people who really love music.
B Radio 2: is for older listeners who like pop and rock music. There is lots of music from the
1960 s and 1970 s but there is other music too like folk, country, blues and jazz. There are some
documentaries about music, for example the story of the Summer of 1967, The Summer of Love.
C Radio 3: is the classical music station but they have started to play some World Music from
Africa and other places. They also look at some of the more intellectual rock musicians like Brian
Eno and David Byrne. If you don t know who they are, you can find out on Radio 3.
D Radio 4: says it is the home of intelligent speech. They have news, documentaries, comedy and
quizzes. A lot of people like to listen to the Today programme in the mornings because it s much
better than breakfast TV. The longest running soap opera in Britain is a radio show about a farming
village called The Archers . It started in 1951 and there have been over 14,000 episodes since then.
E Radio 5: is also called Five Live. During the day, they have phone-in shows and news. In the
evenings and at weekends, they have sport programmes, mainly football. Cricket is usually
broadcast on Radio 4. And after the football matches they have a football phone-in show! It s often
more entertaining than the matches!
F Radio 6: is a strange mixture of Radio 1 and 2. Some old rock music is too loud for Radio 2 but
too old for Radio 1. so the BBC has started Radio 6 where you can hear this kind of music. Maybe
Led Zeppelin live from 1972 or a history of Punk Rock.
