I spend a lot of time in my car, and it's such a breath of fresh air compared to the commercial nonsense that's pumped of Radio 1, and don't even get me started on the other local stations - they're not worth the time. Ujima, though, is a gem of a radio station. Playing an eclectic mix of styles, from reggae, soul, r'n'b and hip hop all day long, their presenters vary in confidence and proficiency. Some are very good and sound slick and well experienced, whilst others take a bit of bearing with - but I don't see this as a bad thing at all, rather a nice reality of what this community station is doing for its local area. The station is based in St Pauls, just off Portland Square, and advertise local events and nights that are being put on. I just love getting in the car in the middle of the day and hearing some reggae on the radio - it does just the trick to chill you out at work. Tune into 98fm, you won't regret it.

'Great Music, Great Chat, Great Opportunities'…read more Off the back of the reviews by Jon and Lisa I tuned into Ujima on my way home for work last week - the music was great in places, I'm really not a fan of radio chat at all and theirs was below average, but that does seem to be redeemed by their involvement in local events. 'From Bristol with Love' is their next planned event on 3rd March at the Metropolis to raise money for Haiti. Whether they play your kind of music or not you have to admire their determination to represent and involve the African and Caribbean communities in Bristol, I think they are gaining momentum and are well on their way to meeting their aim of becoming a flagship radio station. Give it a try on your way home!

Come on guys - give heart a break!…read more So it might not do your street cred much good to have it blaring out with the windows down but I find, in my half an hour drive from work to home it is one of the only stations that I can guarantee actually being able to listen to some music on! Other stations decide to use this peak listening time to presenting mindless babble, when all I want is a few tunes to get me home quicker. I do agree that the talking on Heart is just as bad if not worse, I tend to just tune into another station in between songs. The other real good point is that they are a local station, so you get the travel news relevant to you, and during our recent snow crisis I used their website to find out which buses where running and which roads were closed. I am a fan. If there gave me a t-shirt - I'd wear it.

Oh my God. I had to listen to this radio station whenever I was at my old job and I hated it. The…read moreworst thing was that I found myself singing along after about a week of listening to the same songs over and over again. Even worse are the terrible adverts and jingles (more signing along). Even worse...me having these songs and jingle stuck in my head after work and all the way home. Thanks for polluting my mind.

I normally hate local radio. All you're getting is exactly what the national stations offer but on…read morea smaller budget, with over the hill or shitter DJs constricted by an even less adventurous music policy, the only 'payoff' being that you get a smattering of local news and some incredibly annoying advertisements. And yet, for some reason, I actually have a bit of a soft spot for Star Radio. Maybe it's because, somewhat appropriately for a station that broadcasts out of Western Super Mare, they seem to be stuck in something of an 80s timewarp. Basically, the music policy, instead of just pumping out the same load of old X Factor rubbish, focuses on classic hits from the 80s and beyond (I just tuned in for a random sample and they were playing 'That's Entertainment' by The Jam). Now, don't get me wrong, I wouldn't normally tune in from home under any circumstances whatsoever, but if you're stuck in your car and are forced to listen to your radio, this sits somewhere inbetween the almost acceptable at times Radio 2 and subjecting yourself to Heart FM.

Aimed, I think, at people slight older than I am, this radio station is heavy on the eights…read moreclassics. This seems to be the only real uniting feature of the music choices, with Aerosmith sitting cheek by jowl with Whitney Houston. Inoffensive nineties pop gets a look in to - Christina Aguilera being a perennial favourite of the DJs. If you've got a taste for these decades then this radio station is OK. Otherwise it's not that great. They seem to share Heart FM's taste for celebrity news, which I find achingly dull. If learning obscure details of the lifetimes of the rich and famous are how you like to spend your leisure time, then tune in. I suppose this is counteracted slight by their having local news coverage, the only decent reason to tune in I can think of. The DJs aren't great, and to be honest I can't see why you'd choose Star over just sticking on a CD.

This is great if you're between the ages of 8 and 17, but not quite so great is you mind hearing the same songs playing over and over and over and over... No, to be fair, Red Dragon is not nearly so bad as some other station where they literally play the same 20 songs, at least here there are requests for older songs, so you'll occasionally find yourself listening to a bit of a gem. Train's 'Drops of Jupiter' springs to mind. Who's that tutting in the back? Red Dragon FM are very involved in the local community, looking through the galleries on their website showed a massive amount of local events that they've been a part of. They are also very involved while on air, with local listeners forever honing in for competitions or other random involvement. Anyway, this is the kind of station you might flip on while you do the housework or might have to listen to while in work, but it's not going to speak many words or wisdom or enhance the culture in your life.

If you go down to Cardiff Bay and visit the Atlantic Wharf centre, then you're surely in for an entertaining time, or rather your children perhaps really are... A five star radio show; it has competitions, quizzes, phone in call sessions, guess the song and singer games, they have the local news updates, traffic and weather updates, they go out and about locally, they know their gossip about the arts and entertainment world and often help with charities. They are very sensitive towards their audiences, polite and caring. They also have a website. Which is full of games: news, competitions and of ways in how, if you should so wish to, to get in touch. You can watch them speak in their attractive studio of a station. I recommend for all teenagers, and young adults from ages; 12 - 30 year olds, preferably for those who live in Cardiff or Wales.
