WHEN WE HAD a classical station and two decent jazz stations I considered a good tuner with an outdoor. antenna. Then Mozart went off the air from lack of support (in spite of a huge regional population).
You can guess my thoughts about all the "post-disco music" that is today's main offerings as you move the dial. This used to be THE WAY to get in touch with the world, with entire concerts offered on special nights. Some of those ancient radios were well made, especially with FM Stereo broadcasts available in many cities. But now there are so many digital formats and platforms I've lost interest. I want that classical station with human announcers providing historical information and then presenting a well-thought-out radio show so that I can learn about new music I had never explored before. Yes, I know it's available on-line, but you need so much more equipment to get it to your ears these days.
