I know I'm generalising here but there are a fair few...

Radio 1, Capital and Kiss dj's(and may other crap stations), Bands that try too hard (Muse are a prime example), Golf, Horse racing, Soap Opera's. Talent shows, celebrity shows (dancing diving and the like), fundraising shows (comic relief etc).
