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?

Does streaming count?

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.

I do.  On the MD side of the DMV area, we have a good npr station 88.5, a great independent station 89.3 and a hyper-local station that is wonderfully weird, 94.3.  But I don’t listen to them through my system — more car and kitchen. 

98.9 FM college station in Austin, all hi res, 3 channels. Running my digital FM tuner through my dac on the main system. Can sound great. Don't do it often, but nice option to have imo.
