Does anyone listen to the radio anymore?

I wish someone could answer this question as it pertains to radio.  Wisconsin Public Radio recently “updated” their entire program schedule dividing it into two parts, talk radio and news, and the other half “all classical”. The classical half broadcasts on an AM station and the overall fidelity is marginal, being in mono.

I complained to them about this and their answer was to stream it.  So, I have taken to streaming it from my cell to a smart speaker at home and through my car stereo when driving.  Still, the quality of the stream seems really poor, and sounds as if it is mono.  Obviously, the “smart” speaker is mono. 

My question is, is the streaming fidelity as good as the former FM stereo broadcast or more specifically, are there differences in streaming quality and how are those differences measured?  My impression is the streaming quality of WPR is nowhere near that of the former FM stereo broadcast. 

As a result, I have stopped listening to WPR.  If someone could direct me to an all classical station with reasonable fidelity I would most appreciative.

I only listen to the radio in the car, and I only listen to two NPR stations, WNCW and WSGE (both located in small NC towns).  Most of the vinyl I buy is from hearing obscure artists on these stations, so radio still serves an effective need for me.  Also, the "World Cafe" show on NPR is outstanding. Great mix of legendary, and up-and-coming artists, usually playing their stuff live in the show's studio.

Yes! I listen to NPR on WUSF 89.7 FM Tampa. Mitsubishi DA-F10 on 24/7. 

Fifteen years ago, WQXR in NYC sold its frequency (96.3) to Univision and moved to 105.9 with a much weaker signal. I live in Westchester, and reception is much worse than it used to be. Streaming is the only way to get listenable sound. I no longer use FM radio at home, and the sound in my car FM radio is poor.

Predominately listen to the air-waves radio in the car to our local college run public radio station. At home, I stream several radio stations both local and abroad. I also often stream Radio Paradise when I want someone else to take the reins on music selections. But I haven't used a tuner in ages at home, despite having one.
