Radio channels in T5 Flounge showers
So I'm back in T5 en route to GLA having left JFK last night. (Dreadful flight since you asked - sat in 35D, IFE dead, overhead light didn't work, crew call button didn't work, crew not in the least interested in dealing with any of this.) Just had a shower and for the first time turned the radio on.
Who on earth decided on the channel selections? From what I could tell I had BBC Radio 2, BBC Radio 3 (or could've been Classic FM) and CBeebies Radio!
Couldn't we at least get Radio 4? After a week of suffering what passes for news in the US the Today programme would've been a most welcome change - certainly better than The Fimbles on Cbeebies (and yes, I am concerned that I knew what it was
)

I have suffered weird electrics on board myself; normally when I fly F for some reason. Overhead light coming one and going off automatically for some reason.
All they can do is write a report for the engineers to fix it.

I wouldn't actually mind Classic FM too much. It's my normal choice of aural wallpaper at home. But Radio 3 is absolutely fine by me.
I also thought that there was Radio 4, but it could well have been in the Arrivals Lounge showers.

It's not Classic FM; it's definitely Radio 3.
