Classic FM Recenzje 

We used to listen to this channel all the time but tuned out in protest at the constant cash competitions and the playing of the same tunes constantly. Surely this channel can do better than this

I am tuning in less and less because the repetitive playlist no longer reflects what the station was built for. If Global want the 'Yoof' vote so badly, why don't they buy a station designed for that demographic?

Used to listen to the evening programme but found the music repetitive (John Barry, Ladies in lavender..),too many inane ads and a presenter who can only list the music to be played with no further insights.He seems more interested in the calls received from Mrs. .in...listening with her cat/dog/ guinea pig.
Switched to Radio 3 where you learn something and no ads or silly padding.

i cant believe the hate on hear for CFM. look its not funded by a license fee so there are going to be adverts...but we dont pay the bbc for the privilege so...

also unlike radio3 it mostly plays classical music and not weird world music accompanied by endless droning on by the presenter...

To be a competition, there has to be a skill, knowledge or judgement requirement so as not to require a gambling license. Cash call is a lottery with one prize, unless spelling the word C A S H qualifies as a skill.

Unfortunately all I can now say about ClassicFM is 'thank goodness for ClassicFM calm' I've switched off the main channel and use the Global Player playlists 'Hall of fame' or 'Revision' or 'ClassicFM for pets'...the reason..well as most reviews are already pointing out, the original ClassicFM has driven listeners away with the constant (twice hourly!) CashCall promotion...now we also have the National Lottery promoted at times, plus the 'ITV/Global birthday draw'. It is absolutely appalling that all this gambling promotion is even having to be promoted by the presenters at about 30 mins past the hour, plus the ad for it just before the news. Such a shame as this used to be a lovely station.
Could I personally recommend RTE Lyric to anyone thoroughly peeved off with the way ClassicFM has been 'dumbed down'. Although LyricFM is an Irish station, they have an app and can listen through that or via smart speaker. Daytime's they play classical music from around 10am onwards...they don't continually play 'The Lark Ascending' and rarely play Harry Potter or Gone with the wind!!

I have been listening to Classic FM for a very long time but have now concluded I cannot continue. The reason, like many others have expressed, being the wretched advert breaks that increasingly now dominate. The constant repetition of the same inane ads at high volume send me reaching for the “mute” control or in frustration from the room.
Global’s rationale of needing to maximise revenue from ads because of declining listener numbers doesn’t stack up……if listeners are leaving in significant numbers mostly because of the ads how does that work?
So, no more for me. Great shame because I used to love it (and most presenters) and had it playing 8/9 hours per day.

How many times do we have to hear 'Tim in for Xander.' Who cares in any case?

Very, very repetitive. Give The Valkyries a well earned rest!

I have listened to Classic Fm for many years.
I am in my late 80s in a care home and like to have music playing quietly in the background to help me to get to sleep.
The constant interruption for irritating adverts and jingles makes it hopeless to use. I have now switched to "24/7 Classical Radio" which is excellent.
There are no adverts only an occasional quiet voice giving the name of the station. Also there is not so much repetition.

Normally love classic fm but Johnaton Ross is terrible

“Relaxing evenings on Classic F.M” TOO LOUD!

I am sure I complained about this several years ago but nothing has been done about it.

Listening to Classic F.M on an Echo Pop late on a Sunday Evening, the sound is lovely, the pieces are luxurious and relaxing… Then out of nowhere “Relaxing evenings on Classic FM” Many times louder than the music, this random announcement is so loud it hurt my ears.

I do not want a jump scare when I am trying to relax and listen to classical music!

I can not have this also because it is not fair to my neighbours and others in my household, I have the volume at the perfect level to be able to enjoy the music without being antisocial and then this announcement spoils it!

I really love Classic F.M but unfortunately I will not be able to listen to it until this very loud and completely unexpected announcement is removed from evening programming, or made to match the volume of the pieces.

Incessant cash call promotions have made me switch to Radio 3. Classic FM was such a big part of my life, providing the soundtrack to so many days and journeys, but I find it impossible to listen to now. Stop the gambling ads and I would come back.

I’ve listened to classic FM since it began, but it has become very repetitive. There are far too many advertisements, ruining the overall experience, for me at least.

Now switched off, let me know when “all the gear, no idea” Dan Walker has moved on and I shall return…

CFM has become a fully commercialised, boring, dumbed-down 'easy listening' farce.
Repetitive play lists, mainstream easy listening, cringe worthy competitions and patronising adverts.
Understand that the inclusion of popular, easy listening tracks might encourage some people to explore further, however, listening the other day to someone phoning in about voting for the 'Hall of Fame' and declaring with immense enthusiasm, delight and conviction that her favourite musical piece of all time was Downtown Abbey confirmed it.
That might be the case, and is an example of how dumbed-down CFM has become.
Such a shame to see it go this way.

How long will so called Classic FM continue to ignore all the bad reviews. Obviously the majority of cash call haters who originally loved the programme are going to look elswhere for their entertainment,or perhaps they don't care as they are achieving their objective of making money.

Classic FM used to be my default radio station. But the management has decide to abandon its loyal followers by turning the station into a platform for gambling.

Cash Call is a tawdry lottery, not for a good cause, but to raise money for it's own business.

The presenters should be ashamed.

I used to be a regular listener but it’s like Groundhog Day now listening to this station. Very repetitive which is a shame because there is so much good music out there but they play the same tunes every day and don’t mention the cash calls 😡

Was a decent station, but recently ruined by repetitive gambling ads that run several times an hour throughout the day.
