I'd have to agree garyprotein. Here in the UK most of the commercial and state broadcasters output are heavily compressed.
BBC Radio Three (Classical music) is about the only one I know thats mostly free of undue compression and effects. Listening to a live broadcast is bliss, natural dynamic and good transparency.
I curse loudness wars and the routine use of Antares Autotune & multitrack effects that allow talentless performers air and record space.
Steps off soapbox
