Unless you count home truths! Never found a radio music program I liked to listen to because I like to listen to the music I like to listen to not the music some other bod likes to listen to.
This reminds me of a socialist worker friend of mine explaining how the party considered it a moral duty to resign if you disagreed with any of the party's core policies (I can't remember the difference between a policy and a core policy) but this did not matter because once you were with the party long enough you automatically agreed with core policies.
Admittedly I was a late starter, and even then I was slightly confused. My first thought was - he's been recommended, he's playing some interesting stuff, but he doesn't seem to know what he's talking about.
Yes ...but on the BBC World Service. It was kind of a half-hour weekly highlights programme.
The one I most remember is when we went on holiday the day Diana Princess of Adulterers died. The BBC WS was back-to-back commemoration ("In the news this hour: Diana is still dead") for a week solid. Given that we were six indie kids on holiday south enough in France not to get Radio 1 (which was still on mediumwave in those days) or Atlantic 252 or Radio 4 (which being on longwave were usually reliable in France, until years later Radio Luxembourg decided that English was a waste of time even from Ireland and Auntie hived off Redditch to Merlin who reduced the ERP), this got annoying fast.
Until Peel came on, with the exact words "Enough of Diana. Here's Extreme Noise Terror."
Somehow the shortwave propogation fading added to the enjoyment, but that's ENT for you.
