A pal has a small manufacturing facility where the radio is on all day.
It's been cobbled together using his Hi-Fi throw outs but last time I
heard it sounded remarkably good. The speakers are a rather kicked pair
of Tannoy Yorks slung from a roof truss and driven by a Quad 303. ;-)
It's mainly on R1 FM with occasional bursts of R5 for footie. The
tuner, branded Goodmans is pretty old and has died.

It occurred to me since the MW reception is pretty diabolical due to
interference from the machines etc, that a FreeView tuner might be an
easy and cheap option. There is a UHF aerial feed available.

Any thoughts on make for something reliable and stable and cheap?

One with a channel display would be user friendly.

Another possibility is to use one with a Favourites facility. My old
Goodmans GDB3 (there are several clones of this) will let you set up
channels as favourites then step through them with P+ and P- buttons. You
don't really need a display for two radio stations!
