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?

I love radio but I usually stream it now. It's still the best way to find new music. 

I listen to the radio every day via my Grace table top internet radios. There are a lot of good stations available.  My current standby in Radio Swiss Classic, which I listen to a couple of hours daily, mostly in the background. Another favorite is WDCB broadcasting from the Chicago area, which I listen to mostly on Saturdays - - some fine 40's jazz programs and an old time radio program ("Those Were. the Days") from 1 to 5 pm Central.  

My favorite is Radio Jazz.FM from Poland. Also listen to KCSM in San Mateo.  

My Meridian tuner just died, but I am still listening to on my Tivoli radio which, stupid volume taper aside, still sounds great. I listen to the radio with my wife while having dinner - same show Monday to Friday. About five years ago, I stopped listening to the radio in the car. Once you do, you realise how much it distracts while driving. I've never had a tuner in my hi fi system. Funnily enough, I've had more tuner failures than any other component. Marantz, Revox and now Meridian - boo hoo.
