Is The FM tuner obsolete?

I hope to continue listening to OTA radio for the 15-20 more years I could be alive.  Neither of my older cars has internet capabilities and I always play the radio (Classic Rock mostly) while driving.  

At home, there are two local stations I enjoy.  One plays 50’s-60’s-70’s rock and roll and the other plays old-time country music. Both are relaxing to listen to, depending on my mood. 

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...

I don't this the FCC will eliminate the FM band anytime soon but at some point, stations will not be able to justify pumping out 100K watts into the air.

It's so much more efficient to do an internet steam and reach millions of actual listeners!

I have seen so many good local stations fade off into the abyss. Good AM/FM in the car is how I will really miss them. But then there is satellite radio to take is place, sort of.

Long live FM for as long at it's around!

What happens if KAOS cuts off the internet pipe? Your streamer is useless!

Tube transmitters are still being used too!
Everyone should have one of these as a  backup unit

The "BEST" FM tuner.

This kind of reminds me of the relevance of "recievers".

A preamp or variable output DAC could take over this function too.
