There’s 1 listener supported classical station and 1 listener supported news station, the rest are garbage constant ads or worse

I listen to NPR or most of my driving I can get a tiny local station Cavern FM which plays obscure rock music from around the globe. You can listen online here. https://www.cavern.fm/

I still listen to FM radio and, if you’ll please pardon me tooting my own horn, I also help make some of it as part of a long-running weekly talk show. (I’ve been off the air for the past couple weeks, but I’m back next week.)

I was a listener to the station and the program for a long time before I joined up. I still listen to radio often, and the medium continues to mean a great deal to me.

Haven’t listened to the radio in about 15 years.

Drive to work in the morning would piss me off. Stop the jibber jabber and play some music already!

No, I turned it off the day I bought my truck and its been off since. The only form of pure audio media I consume are podcasts. I rarely even listen to music.

Yeah, only when driving or playing with old radios. Or in my garage I leave it on.

Sadly radio reallllllly sucks now for the most part. Some late night DJs are cool and play interesting stuff but otherwise it’s junk.

I do, I mostly stick to the black talk shows because the rest are full of MAGATS For music, I cycle through all sorts of stations

My wife and I share a music streaming account, so if I’m driving and I know she’s using it at home, I switch to radio in the car. But I don’t listen to music, I usually end up listening to NPR or something.

I can’t say I miss it from having once been the go-to platform. I’ll trade radio over to having listening to whatever is on my media stick, PodBean or Sirius in comparison.

I’ve only gone to radio when I don’t have either of those things, it’s just white noise. I try listening to sports stuff, I just get annoying hosts with low-IQ callers calling in, I get music stations that repeat shit over and over .etc

And it’s like, I don’t miss this as much as I thought.

Yes! But usually only when I’m driving. It’s either NPR or a local alternative station out of TJ. The local station is one of the only places I have heard Social Distortion, MxPx, Green Day, and some new rock band. It’s pretty fucking great.

I have started carrying cds in my car again, too. I’ve found quite a few great albums for $1-3 at thrift stores (great for Blu-rays too) or ripping CDs I borrow from the library. I also have a small mp3 player loaded with a bunch of music I’ve ripped or downloaded.

And I have AppleMusic for anything else.

I haven’t listened to the radio regularly in years. I listen to podcasts whenever I would have previously listened to the radio.

Hell yes I do. There’s a great local rock station here.

I do radiogarden, all day, with a favourite junk pop station. I need the noise because my home office can be deafening sometimes.

I have found almost all radio status near me play a mix of 12 songs and ads. Tuning in to any station was likely to result in ads and not music.

My radio is tuned to static so I can get into my car without being forced into hearing an ad while my Bluetooth connects and I can start playing a book.
