Question

Why is Radio 5 better at night than it is during the day?

Answer 1

Its not just Radio 5

Most stations are more relaxed at night

My Mate is a Dj for BFBS Radio

its a station for the Armed Forces serving all over the world ,so we can keep in touch with English news and events

and he told me that he doesnt like to listen to the rubbish of today whilst at work from 2am-6am in the morning

Ps Ex Para 15 years service

Answer 2

Well perhaps it's better than BBC radio 2 in the wee small hours as sometimes it is just awful.

Answer 3

I haven't noticed this but that may be because I never listen to Radio whatever.

Answer 4

different dj's i guess

Answer 5

Because soundwaves travel less far in the dark, and do not bend or refract, as does light.  However, if you purchase a DAB radio, you will find that the signal is as good whatever time of day you listen.  Check first, though, whether DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) is available in your area.  You can find out online.
