Why Listen To FM Radio For Music Anymore At Home?

I kinda listen to FM.

I had to escape the innanity of commercial FM and found refuge at the bottom of the dial with the local commercial free listener supported jazz station, 88.3 KSDS.

All the time when driving - and at home, TWC carries Music Choice channels and one of them is KSDS.

I like the format, the dj's and the programs (lots of variety with straight up jazz, but also blues, big band, latin salsa...)

So, no streaming for me.

I rarely listened to my FM tuner but I have a reason now. In Palm Springs there is an FM kdez that has 80's new wave Friday night. So much good stuff came out of that Era Psychedelic Furs,Inxs,Elvis Costello,Blondie,The Fixx and so many others. I digg it and when I'm in the mood I mix a drink while it's on and relax.

A fascinating article about how poor rating measurements can effect the availability of music formats on FM. Apparently test tones are being embedded in the FM signal to determine what listeners are actually listening to.

Depending on your market, stations are using hybrid digital-analogue signals in FM mode.I have a vintage tuner that I enjoy at night at times, with all the illumination and bells and whistles. Streaming quality is all over the map with my local stations, so the tuner does come in handy. Anybody into HD radio?

Qdrone...is that Kdes? What time on Fridays(west coast time)?
