I do. Most stations in my region are just crappy music and dumb call-in shows, but there’s still a few stations with quality programming. FM radio is where I get my news, where I listen to press conferences, old-school audio theatre and (surprisingly) where I get new music recommendations. Hard to believe that modern streaming platforms’ algorithms can be outperformed by traditional media.

    Very often yes, but I wouldn’t ever again if the only channel I listen to went under.

    CKUA, it’s donor sponsored. The variety of programming is why it’s not just the excellent variety of music played but the spoken word, poetry, interviews, The Road Home segment, and more.

    The rest here is top 50 slop FM or cuckservative AM indoctrination for farmers.

    Occasionally I use Shortwave on Linux while I do house chores for web radio. Again, similar idea but foreign donor sponsored channels from other countries besides Canada. CKUA is also in their channel list.
