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?

To "guscreek", my compliments to your Farnsworth ancestor for the fine radios and phonographs that bear the Farnsworth name.  

Having had a career as a professional musician, I still hear something every day on Baltimore's WBJC [91.5] that I've never heard before.  Their programming is fresh even with the old favorites that predominate.  Founded in 1951, ALL classical and still going strong !  At a distance of 75 miles, my trusty KLH Model 21 pulls it in loud and clear.  I think my 1100 foot elevation makes that possible.  Any serious listening is on my "Big Rig", but who can sit in the "sweet spot" all day ?  Oh, that we could !!

yes  Radio Garden      has  every  radio station in  the  world  available, 

I listen to the radio every day. in south east Michigan we have a great "listener supported" station. no commercials. classical from 5 a.m. - 7 p.m., jazz from 7 p.m. to 5 a.m. WRCJ, 90.9 fm, HD-1 Detroit. love Lynne Warful on the weekends with Saturday Cinema. great tunes from movies. good stuff. sound is really good also.

In the Puget Sound area KNKX (NPR)  has great programming lots of jazz, all- blues Saturday and Sunday from 6pm, and great signal. KUOW (NPR) has even better non-musical programming but as others have mentioned, terrible coverage. I stream both when possible. KNKX haa a second stream-only that streams Jazz at 256K AAC 7X24, so their sound quality is quite good. KING-FM is a claasical station, but their programming tends towards later Classical periods (mid 19th - mid 20th century) thats just not my thing. Other than that, there's not much of interest to me.
