Why Listen To FM Radio For Music Anymore At Home?

FM still exists?

Essentially what the others have posted. I would like to hear more of the latest music. I really haven't tried streaming new talent, I usually give in to my old favorites , but on occasion they sneak something in. I have become addicted to radio news and NPR

I live in Atlanta and we used to have a really great selection on the FM dial. Unfortunately, consolidation and the purchase of the best college station to be converted to a 3rd NPR format has destroyed the former diversity. I used to enjoy getting turned onto new music via the radio and it just doesn't happen anymore. Atlanta college Clark University has a great jazz station, but for the most part, Atlanta FM has digressed to the canned national format with incessant commercials, DJ babbling, and non- memorable computer pitch corrected drivel. It is hard to even find rock and roll anymore. Consequently, I end up listening to news or sports radio. I miss the serendipity of hearing your favorite song on the way to school or work. I guess those were the good old days.

Analog noise and distortion maybe. Or to be able to hear the commercials.

Wait a minute....

Broadcast radios purpose remains the same ie to serve the local community. What that means is what's changing. Other than local bands and groups perhaps not much unique musically to be had there anymore.

Also I suppose its still fastest and easiest to just turn on a radio if ease and convenience is your goal.

I haven't listened to radio in home in years...and I mean 30 years.
