I think the only real reason I got the grumps was because I listen to the same radio station every day.
BBC Radio Five Live has talk/ discussion/ phone-in shows during the day, then switches to sports in the evening. Sports discussion, phone-ins, live commentary etc.
Saturday mornings are my favourite, with Danny Baker and then Fighting Talk, hosted by Colin Murray, which is hit or miss depending on the guests, but with at least a few belly laughs.
Weekday mornings I listen to Breakfast with Nicky Campbell and Anna Foster. My radio is tuned to it, as is the one in the kitchen, the bathroom and even the little portable in the downstairs toilet.
Which is a roundabout way of saying that Radio Five is part of my aural wallpaper. And every day last week they had "remembering 9/11" slots, scattered through the programmes, or as longer features. People reporting in from New York, people interviewed, stories from those who lost loved ones and those who escaped, British Muslims and how the aftermath affected them etc etc.

It's over now, and I am over being narked by it.
I get the same way about any anniversary that dominates the airwaves. It's harder to retune a radio than switch over a remote. Okay, my DAB radio has preset channels. But the rest are manual.

Normal service is now resumed and I can just shout at the appalling opinions of the stupid people who call in
