Listening to the radio
Limited selection, constant ads, and hit or miss sound quality. Digital music and podcasts are better in every way. The only thing I really miss is discovering new music on a local college radio station.
Great, reading this while listening to the radio, huge stereo wall, Onkio tuner, FM antenna in the attic, coax cable trough the house,... I have a constant quality and yes, internet radio is a tad better, but the biggest issue there is the delay. When you have radio in multiple rooms, the different delays are a use sourec of irritation. Also my wife finds the sount to harsh witn sattelite radio or DAB.
As long as FM is available, I'll use it for radio. When it's end of the road for FM, I'll switch to my own collection. (And in the car, no alternative to FM, CD of cassette)
hell yeah!! I loved listening to the radio growing up.
I still like it, but it's more background music. The programming went from vertical (every day another style the whole day long) to horizontal (every day, same style at the same hours), which is really boring.
I still listen to the radio in my car even though I have Bluetooth. My car is an older model and there are times when it will stop auto connecting and I'll have to connect it again. So, I'd rather just listen to the radio
I'm sorry for your loss
It's not too bad. My favorite radio stations so far are 98.7 The Gator and NPR. As for commercials I mostly tune them out, but some I find pretty humorous and entertaining.
I personally prefer silence over radio.
Disconnect the aerial, that should shut down anything but the most powerful stations. I've done that in my car
Pull the fuse? Disconnect the harness?
This makes me so happy about our community radio station. We lost the ok commercial station (had an "alternative rock" station that played good music and hosted awesome concerts). But kept the nonprofit community station, and good radio is a joy.
