I still do on my vintage stereo equipment. It is ok but the commercial are a drag sometimes. Recently I got a new HT receiver that has a ethernet connection. I have been listening to net radio on this thing and I really love it. No commercials and the variety of stations is great. I have been listening to 4 Ever Floyd a lot and I love it. I used to have Sirius and net radio is so much better IMHO.
Net radio is the future. |

I do!
ETA, I don't have any of the new stuff like XM. There is 2 Christian stations I try to listen too to keep me in check |
|
I do, actually listening to the local country station right now
Most of the music I listen to comes from the radio, don't see the need to upgrade (at least not yet). I like the local stations, I get the news, weather, and music that I like. Sometimes the ads are a drag, but that's the price I pay for being a free listener. |

I listen to FM all the time in my pick-up. I listen to 87.7, which is the best frequency for the FM transmitter on my Sirius radio.

Other than my morning wake-up station, no. Too many damned irritating commercials.

Only to listen to NPR. Otherwise it's My AM right-wing hate speech shows...

With an FM yagi up on a mast outside, and a hot tuner that has filter mods (Onkyo T-4500 with 180 khz wide mode and 150 khz narrow mode low loss Murata filters), I'm sucking in stations from half the state. I get more than 60 clear, clean, no crackle at all, FM station, and another 20 or so that clean up if I switch to mono. With 80 stations to choose from, well, there's always something good to listen to.

I do when im at work, only because the local rock station plays much softer and more family friendly stuff than what id normally listen to. And well the local morning show is awesome.
|
|
Sometimes, although if i'm gonna be driving 15 min or more, I will plug in my ipod.

Quoted: I listen to what is free and that is at the moment FM. Internet radio is free too. Well you need a connection to the net but since you're here I guess you have that. |

I listen to 2-meter FM and 70-cm FM all the time. Really, all the time. Sometimes I listen to sideband too.

Mon-fri I listen to am talk radio. Saturday morning I listen to the local outdoors programs on am and then either country on fm or comedy on sirius the rest of the weekend.

Sometimes. I frequently listen to the local morning show (98 Rock 97.9 WIYY Baltimore).
|
|
Yes. Good stations are a rarity though. The fidelity of broadcast fm is still far better than any of the streaming or subscription technologies

I have tapes in the garage where radio reception is nil...also a tape deck in the bedroom....
I do. Radio in my truck still has a tape deck |

Quoted:
Why? it can't be for music....talk radio? I have to say, I have never listened to AM...
I listen to AM 10 hours a day... |

102.9 FM when cleaning firearms or reloading in my shop.
But all you Serius subscribers, keep up the good work. My stock shares in Serius need to keep going up. |

The local radio here is excellent - but I only listen in the car.
|

In Kansas City, I do listen to 101.1 at home during Chiefs football games. If I play with the pause and play buttons on the DVR, I can usually get the radio broadcast to match up exactly with the TV broadcast. The commercials freak me out a little, though. They're selling carpet on TV, but I'm listening to an ad for Dodge pick-ups or something.
This will not be much of a factor for the next 16 weeks, as the Chiefs demonstrated conclusively that they suck donkeys last weekend.

|
Yep - two local "hippie" stations. Great music, but as the description implies, their politics suck.
WSRL 96.5 WMNF 88.5 |

You can get Big D 103 from CT down there?

WDRV is one of the best stations I have ever encountered and it's right here in Chicago.
No morning guy, doesn't repeat songs too much, and they do neat things like taking a couple weeks out of the year to play their entire collection from A-Z, and play whole album sides at 1:45 every weekday. Once in a while I'd listen to Q101 but they got bought out and switched to a news format. |

All day with earbuds at work.
94.5 The Buzz 5-11 and Texas Mix 105.3 whenever I can pick it up. |
|
FREE FM , bought 2 new trucks in the last 4 years , each came with 1 year FREE sat. radio . probably used it MAYBE 3 hours total. Can't imagine anyone paying for that. I couldn't find anything worth listening to when it was FREE
I am in one kinda machine or anothre listening to the radio average about 7-8 hours a day , 6 days a week |
|
You say it like only model t's come with FM radios...
FM is all I listen to, until I get a radio with an ipod hookup. |
