Even from the early stages of my life, I have always remembered listening to Capital FM. For a couple of years, I stopped listening, probably because my Dad switched to CD's however since secondary school radio entered our lives again especially in the mornings on the way to school. Now, it is nearly always Capital however there were a few moments when my parents wanted mellow Magic.
I hardly ever listen to the radio anywhere else other than in the car. On my phone I have my own music but in the car it's just better with the family knowing all the songs, especially this generation's kind of music. It's a conversation starter as well as entertainment.
The general top 40 are nearly always on the stations like Capital, Kiss etc.. However my taste in music has always been a little different. It is only in the past couple years the kind of music I enjoy listening to has been making it's way into the charts.
I'm not much of a 'news' person but if I do listen to the news, it'll either be at home or in the car on the TV. I don't follow around the news unless I am genuinely interested in the story either because I can relate or because it is genuinely an intriguing story such as the missing Malaysian airplanes or the Madeline McCain reports etc... Also, I like hearing about the stories where 'Muslims' are continuously stereotyped as 'terrorists' because of the actions of a single, or a few people which is why even from a young age the 9/11 event has always been one of the most things in the news that I have found fascinating. Unfortunately I don't listen to any local radio stations simply because I don't know any. I find the stations where the radio presenter is talking or having debates very boring which is probably because I'm more of a person that likes to listen to music and get in my element then get worked about a debate on the BBC radio.
I think that my listening habits are normal for the typical teenage girl however I've always felt that my taste in music has been much more different to the music tastes of my friends and family. My love for music has come from my Dad, the same way for him it has come from my granddad. I don't listen to the average 'East London' rap because I don't like it.
