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?

Listen to radio every morning, sometimes in the evening. Usually 4hrs a day is on radio, with my tuner. 

Have my local, and couple favorites saves from SF & Boston, but honestly, streaming radio is lo-fi. It sounds like crap compared to my tuner. 

KEXP doesn't always come in clear at my house, so forced to stream it. Always makes me cringe. 

@mswale maybe you’re using the low bitrate stream for KEXP?

I listen to FM stereo, all day almost every day.  Unless there is something specific I want to listen to, it’s FM  stereo for this old geezer.  I have 2 expensive tuners. One in each system and use both daily.  I have more than gotten my moneys worth.  I will mourn the day my 2 favorite Rock stations go off the air. 

Yes, quite often (in the car, garage, etc).
