Our broadcast news channels are regulated too, i.e. there are no "right wing" or "left wing" news channels/programmes here in the UK because of this regulation.

It's a shame that hasn't been extended to the print media.

Nigel ferage has his own radio show, and it’s very popular, and as you might have guessed, swayed towards reminding its listeners they are under imminent attack

But it's on a station (LBC) that has strong centre/left presenters too, such as James O'Brien. The whole station is a bit too much like Outrage Central for me tbh, but at least it's fairly balanced outrage.

I'm not sure if radio is subject to the same regulations or not

I am guessing it probably counts as entertainment not news and current affairs.

Well, none that admit to a bias anyway.
