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?

I do, daily. No commercial stations though, they've become so abysmally bad.

The local "alternative" station hasn't changed its programming in 30 years. They still play Green Day.

I like listener-supported stations including NPR, local jazz and classical stations, and Latino stations to brush up on my Spanish or when I'm in the mood for norteño music.

 I live close to three major cities on the west coast of Canada, Vancouver, Seattle and Victoria. All have good stations still. The Seattle based NPR jazz station is on almost every day. I found it took a good tuner to make the sound quality worth it though. Also, not all stations are at the same sound quality level. But the good one’s sound excellent still. I have my system on almost the whole time I’m awake playing something, usually background music. After years off looking I’ve settled on Vintage tuners as the best sounding tuners, Sansui Tuners are my fav, currently a TU9900 restored/recapped/realigned, Dreaming of a TU-X1.

WCBN, University of Michigan student run station. They play virtually every genre of music, dj's mostly have one or two hour slots, very diverse lot!
