Does anyone listen to the radio anymore?


My tuner has been collecting dust the last few years. Got me thinking, how many  audiophiles even listen to the radio anymore when there are so many other options available?

My Meridian tuner just died, but I am still listening to on my Tivoli radio which, stupid volume taper aside, still sounds great. I listen to the radio with my wife while having dinner - same show Monday to Friday. About five years ago, I stopped listening to the radio in the car. Once you do, you realise how much it distracts while driving. I've never had a tuner in my hi fi system. Funnily enough, I've had more tuner failures than any other component. Marantz, Revox and now Meridian - boo hoo.

M-TH, 8-11pm.  Excellent program, great DJ.  Sounds good on my MR78.

I listen to "coast to coast" on KIRO-FM 97.3. often i’ll listen to the local NPR station, KUOW-FM-94.9 even though a gnat’s beating wings has greater signal strength. all the best stations ’cept for KIRO are very weak out here in the hinterlands. the AM reception is far worse, all one hears is static and AC mains hash.
