What has happened to Classic FM that I once found a station that instilled a bit of peace and tranquility in a crazy world. Just turned it off again, as music being played I would expect at a funeral.... See more

The annoying promotion of their cash call competition, all day, every day, is repetitive and intrusive. It seems to have been going on for months now, with a new 'life changing prize' every week... Gl... See more

Hi Classic FM, I've done a review a few weeks ago, gave 4 stars. Said i turn off radio when adverts come on. Got tired of that, pressed preset to radio three everytime adverts started. So nice to he... See more

I used to love listening to classicfm and it's sister station, Gold. However The parent company, Global seem to have discovered the cashcow of selling opportunities for a listener to win a large sum... See more

Classic FM is completely “over the top” promoting its own gambling agenda every few minutes. The organization has greatly lowered the standing of the radio station. It is now a cheap tacky shadow of i... See more

Love the music...hate the intrusive adverts especially on the late calm classics slot...all relaxed and then loud unnecessary adds.. can you at least stop them for this show? Also Myleen, your constan... See more

Classic FM Movies sounded like a good idea as I love soundtracks. Unfortunately they only seem to be able to repeat the same 20 or 30 tracks over and over again. I used to hear more and different movi... See more

What was, a number of years ago, a really good radio channel that we could listen to every day. Its been highjacked - over Christmas was the final straw with its encouragement of gambling to win “life... See more

Classic FM is the only radio station I listen to — even when I’m overseas on business. I have it on at night while I sleep because it’s genuinely soothing, and I absolutely love the music, the prese... See more

Sick to death of their bloody raffles being aired every 10 minutes and a very repetitive repertoire. If they would prefer another channel to do what they are supposed to do many listeners would be hap... See more

Love the variety of classical music. Great presenters. A very calm relaxing experience until the stressful adverts start. If you have to have adverts, could they be of people talking slowly in a re... See more

My experience of 5 stars is for Classic FM Calm. However, when I go out in the morning with my personal radio - Guess what Aled Jones. Is there none else to fill in for holidays or people going off on... See more

Been listening to Classic FM since it started in 1992. Unfortunately no longer my go to station, largely due to narrow spectrum and cyclic repeats music and incessant banal or supercilious adverts. Tu... See more

I have been a listener for over 20 years but these days am more than a little bored of the repetitive classics every day. Tim L was wonderful to listen to in the mornings but 'shouty' Dan Walker is a... See more

I can't understand why Classic FM are giving away thousands of pounds to random listeners... It's up to half a million next week. It's appalling, they have no idea who it is going to, they may be filt... See more

Cash Call ruined Christmas for me. It’s CONSTANT! It doesn’t exactly appeal to the best instincts in people, does it? If it had been for charity well, fair enough, but it’s just a money making scam.... See more

Evening programs after 7 with Zeb are great. The news segments are incredibly right wing though. Almost laughably so. Such a shame as it's its making me question whether I'll keep listening (which ive... See more

Generally happy with Classic FM’s music selection - a lot of it isn’t my favourite, but you can’t please everybody all the time. I’ve just got two little niggles which is really why I’m writing thi... See more

The current use of cash call to generate funds is both cheap, irritating and encouraging gambling as a more subtle level. There’s way too much repetition of certain composers and pieces which... See more

Stop Cash Call immediately. It's tawdry and common. Stop plugging it as often as you play Gershwin and John Barry (whose repertoire was more than Out of Africa and Dances with Wolves).

I used to enjoy Classic FM. Then the "celebrity" presenters started to be introduced. Then the advertisement breaks started to become more instrusive and finally the repetitive nature of these adverts... See more

Normally enjoy classic fms programmes but why on earth are we subjected to Christmas carols in November . I suspect the next month will be overloaded with such . Christmas eve and day .yes but I'm afr... See more

The music selection on Classic FM is OK, if limited in range (the film music relays endlessly scores from Pirates of the Caribbean and Star Wars). However the inane adverts drive me nuts and I always... See more

Can't stand the devotion to Einaudi and other trite composers. Might as well be EinaudiFM. There is such a vast range of wonderful classical music available, but ClassicFM continues to trot out just a... See more

The cash call promotion has really cheapened the station. It’s endless and you can almost feel the presenters cringing when they have to read the cheesy script again, again and again! You’re better t... See more

After years of listening to ClassicFM, we've given up and gone to BBC 3 unwind. The main reason for switching is the seemingly increase of the number of advertising slots and the length of th... See more

Impossible to listen to on Google device anymore constant adverts and adverts for some country music rubbish now it's part of tune-in. Just get spotify, Classic FM has had its day rubbish.

I used to love Classic FM unfortunately all I hear now is piano piano piano. Not enough diversity in the music. Very rarely do I hear classical guitar or choral music. Nope never going back to it.

Love Classic FM most of the time but the inane advertising drives me crazy. The repetition is awful, same adverts over and over. Luckily when they start I just turn down the volume on my radio but it... See more

As with many other long term listeners now finding this radio station extremely boring. Far too much non classical music, especially film music. Some great music but repeatedly played. Radio 3 has muc... See more

I love Classic fm in many ways but this year I can't listen to the end of the Hall of Fame 2025 because Dan Walker is presenting it and he just isn't the right person for the job. I have listened far... See more

Just can't stand the repetition of adverts and way too much talking that is so boring. I want to listen to music consistently, and the CFM quality is downgrading. Can someone write and complain?

I entirely agree with the comments about the Cash Call, it has been ABSOLUTELY awful and now it is going on in January. It is so obtrusive and I wish, as others, money was going to charity.

Waking up to Dan Walker shouting into the mic each morning was too much for me and his inane last night latest is cringing! Had to switch to another station in the morning.

Classic FM at the Movies: if you’re looking to listen to Out of Africa and the main theme to Gladiator on a loop, fill your boots. Literally the same 20 tracks played all day, every day.

Classic fm news reporting is a joke Each and every hourly report is anti government and negative despite other important news issues ,this last 3 weeks a certain name Farage or Reform party are ment... See more

Same as many others - repetitive music and far too many adverts. Seems to be the same playlist every day. I press the mute button on the ads so many times it's hardly worth listening any more.

Overall I am a fan, but I immediately tune to another channel when Aled Jones is on. He never misses an opportunity to promote himself or talk about how wonderful he is.

Lost its direction too many Stars presenting themselves and lack of natural radio presenting, the news is totally GB / Tory propaganda Was a really good show now radios GB news alternative .

It is being downgraded by this new Cash Call. It would be less annoying if it were merely added to the adverts. but putting it in the mouths of presenters is horrible.
