Why Listen To FM Radio For Music Anymore At Home?


.
With the proliferation of all of the great streaming services and great DACS, why would anyone listen to FM radio for music on their main rig at home any more?. I only listen to FM in my car now.

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.
Wish I could find a radio station to enjoy locally. I grew up listening to the hits
on WABC AM out of NYC. Late 60s, listened to WNEW FM a LOT...back when it
was "underground" radio. Later, living near Phila., enjoyed WXPN
(Public Radio out of the University of Pennsylvania). DJ personalities who were
articulate, knowledgeable, excited about the music, and chose great stuff to play
contributed to the listening experience. There were shows I'd tune into regularly
because of this "human" element. It was a fun way to get introduced
to new things.
Yes, I am in the Tri-State area as well and enjoy WBGO and WQXR.
A good outdoor antenna is key.
