Have people heard of Boom Light?

This is not an advert for them. I'm sharing in case it helps anyone. Seems to be a fairly new offshoot of Boom radio on DAB. My elderly mother loves it. They play an eclectic mix, leaning more on 50s but covering all sorts of general easy listening and not the usual songs you have heard a thousand times. The DJ's know their stuff and are not annoying. I'm really happy about this, particularly for my mother, because the only alternative is Angel radio (overall a better station in my opinion) but they have limited DAB coverage, meaning she can't access their service where she is. So now my mother, who does not have an internet connection like a lot of old folk, has a decent option. I sometimes listen to it myself.

Who does the voice for bad radio ads

0 Upvotes

It’s someone who does a horrible cranky wild sounding voice for fake radio ad promos that is like %50 off or something something and they start barely making sense and the producer stops them to make them redo it over and over but it’s like a horrible mangled accent I cannot search this anywhere
