Does anyone listen to the radio anymore?

Everyday! We have WTMD 89.7 (adult alternative) and WBJC 91.5 (classical) in the Baltimore area. College radio stations offer great commercial free music. I can just hit the power button on my MAC7200 and I can instantly hear a great mix of music picked by DJs that know a lot more about music than I or any computer/algorithm. My Bluesound Node can’t tell me stories about the time it met Pearl Jam at Lollapalooza in 1992. And I love the live broadcasts of the MET Opera on Saturdays. There are so many cool ways to discover new music these days.

I think tuners can offer a different listening experience. Analog sound and as

@baylinor said, some stations are hi-res and sound really good.

I first had a Fanfare. Later got a Marantz ST6000 before their quality went way down. Day Sequerra, Magnum Dynalab, and McIntosh also really nice. McIntosh has some of the best looking tuners IMHO.

WNCW

Outstanding 

I have my local classical station KHFM playing in the background all day during the week. I’ve got it set up so that I can stream it from my tuner via Roon throughout the house. Much better quality then I could get from the internet stream. 

I never used to but a couple years ago I picked up a nice denon tuner someone was throwing away, and it actually worked  like a charm.

I find turning it on on weekend mornings while im doing stuff around the house is really pleasant, don’t have to look at my phone or a screen, its just become a nice habit. I also live in Brooklyn so have great local stations, wbgo, wqxr …

I have a much nicer streamer I could use to hear the same programs but for whatever reason I keep finding myself flicking on the tuner in the morning instead, guess it just seems easier and I don’t mind it staying on for hours at a time.
