Have no problem with the music they play - it's just the announcers.
I agree. I'm also from Melbourne and the announcers on the classical stations here are some of the most irritating people I have ever come across. Can't they just... talk normally? Agreed, there's nothing wrong with what they play but they put me off radio in general. I prefer CDs.
