Does anyone listen to the radio anymore?

I do, daily. No commercial stations though, they've become so abysmally bad.

The local "alternative" station hasn't changed its programming in 30 years. They still play Green Day.

I like listener-supported stations including NPR, local jazz and classical stations, and Latino stations to brush up on my Spanish or when I'm in the mood for norteño music.

For some reason I was convinced that over-the-air FM radio was on its way out, to go off the air in a couple of years and be replaced by HD radio. I even thought the AM / FM radio spectrum had been auctioned off to broadband operators.

Anyway, this thread made me look it up and I was wrong, it actually sounds like FM has a couple few decades ahead of it still... So maybe it's worth getting a good tuner after all 🙂

NPR does good work. Yes, it skews left, but it’s not that hard to mentally adjust for it.

It’s like the oven in your kitchen. If you want 350 degrees, you know from experience you have to turn the knob to 375. It doesn’t take a genius.
