Is The FM tuner obsolete?


I foresee the day that the FM tuner will not be included in product offerings. 

Most radio stations have a streaming service and services like tunein offer this as well and have a much better quality to boot.

Thoughts?

As an old FM tuner I'm not obsolete...plenty of tuning left yet!

Ah, well, while broadcast radio lacks the impact of the 60s thru 90s there are very few stations I dial in these days.  Long gone are the rock giants 96 Rock, wkls Atlanta and She 103, wshe Miami, two former faves.

I run SiriusXM in one car and at home.  Other vehicles are FM radio, mostly classic rock and Christian music.  I often tune FM at home and don't see where it will go away anytime soon.  Not saying it couldn't... have you seen any recent vehicles with a cassette deck?

For news I'll take local mom and pop am/fm all day long over any biased news source.  No delay buttons, no mute, no edits. No corporate agendas...
