Any thoughts or experience on the current and future of FM radio?


A bit of "thinking out loud" here.  I have enjoyed and learned much from radio in my life.  First AM rock and roll and then FM Jazz.  My question is where do things go from here?  Broadcast FM, internet music, FM stations with an internet site and anything more you can think of.

I, like most on this site, have the sound quality and as close to the original recording as possible being my pursuit.  I am more on the consumer side and would have interest in hearing anyone's take on what the future may have in store.  From LPs to 8-tracks and cassettes and various digital discs, redbook sacd etc, I have traveled the road most of you have and am hopeful that the future has an old term in mind "high fidelity".

Remember when...

McIntosh published the FM station guide ?

and yes University radio stations can be so cool
Yes!!!!! Public Radio out of Tacoma plays 2 nites of All Blues every weekend- curated by working musician ( bass )!John Kessler - dial in !!!

Elliot - I also listen thru my 1965 MX-110z
which is a fantastic sounding bit of gear...
I should mention we donate to public radio in both Seattle/Tacoma and San Diego - well worth the small cost IMO


BTW since you are Seattle area, stop by for a glass sometime and some music :-)
Radio Paradise requires zero attention 

but I love King FM and the Compline Choir on Sunday - the last monastic Office of the week. I try to attend live but FM is second choice...
