Does anyone listen to the radio anymore?


My tuner has been collecting dust the last few years. Got me thinking, how many  audiophiles even listen to the radio anymore when there are so many other options available?

We have a really good local classic rock station that I fire up my Sumo "Charlie The Tuner" every so often...

In the car: Classical (All Classical Portland KQOC), Jazz (KMHD Portland), NPR news and “Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me”).

Does streaming count? At home, I stream the same sources. All Classical Portland has especially wonderful late night and early a.m. programming, along with Sunday Brunch with Suzanne Nance at 10:00 a.m. Pacific on Sundays.

Never had a tuner. Listen a lot to the radio in the car, primarily for news/discussion programs, occasionally for music (BBC 3).

Sure, radio is radio. I think of local college stations or ones that live-stream local concerts.

I ran my tuner through my CDR (set to standby). Then when something came on that I liked, could just press "record". Then could listen later or use it to find the real recording if possible.
