I only listen to the radio in the car, and I only listen to two NPR stations, WNCW and WSGE (both located in small NC towns). Most of the vinyl I buy is from hearing obscure artists on these stations, so radio still serves an effective need for me. Also, the "World Cafe" show on NPR is outstanding. Great mix of legendary, and up-and-coming artists, usually playing their stuff live in the show's studio.
