Radio waves are inconsiderate little buggers and don't pay much
attention to things like placenames.

Quick, which local radio station should I get if I live in Newport?

Which local radio station should I get if I live in Yorkshire?

Which should I get in Thornton Heath, which is in London but my address
had Surrey in it back in the dark ages when the post office cared about
such things?

(the correct answer to all of those is, of course, "none of them,
because all local radio is shit")
