In present times with umpteen modes of entertainment to choose from,is listening to a radio still part of your life?

If yes, what do you hear most often? Just music on FM or the news and other programmes too?

    i try desperately not to but people play radio everywhere...I can't srand the audio compression the stations use to keep the music above the road noise. The sound is set up for car listeners...nd usually the EQ is set to bring up the highs and lows and is a pretty poor reproduction of the original recordings.

    I only hear the radio when I'm driving. If it's in the morning then it's a morning show and I get updates on popculture but in the evening it's just music.

    I listen to talk radio when I'm doing housework. There's almost always a good topic being chewed over and it takes my mind off the boring task at hand.

    We have an excellent local public radio station that plays music-- independent artists, obscure stuff... a nice mix. I do listen to that. They do a good job keeping things fresh.

    I have a 30-45 minute commute (each way) and I listen to NPR every day, both directions.

    i rarely listen to the FM band at home. when i'm feeling industrious, i'll turn on the DISH tv, tune it to sirius and run it thru the stereo.

    otherwise, i'll only listen to the radio in the car.

    i can't listen to talk-radio at all. drives me nuts.

    The closest I get to listening to a radio is listening to Musicovery.com - does that count (its all music)?

    I love talk radio, but I am tiring of the same ignorance being spewed day in day out. I also really enjoy NPR.
    So to have my voice heard I started my own online radio show that can be found at gylonjackson.com.
    Finally I like the streaming service that pandora.com provides.

    NPR while in the kitchen washing dishes or cooking.

    Some NPR podcasts on my commute sometimes. My favorite: Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me.

    Edit: for those of you not in North America, here's NPR on the web: www.npr.org/

    I listen to the radio quite a bit. I'm a big CBC listener (Canadian Broadcast) www.cbc.ca has a lot of amazing programs. I guess it's the equivalent of American's NPR.

    As for music, not as much. When I was a teen we lived by what was on the radio, but not so much now, lol. I do listen to music on the radio when I'm in my car sometimes, unless I hear John Tesh then I have to turn it off!

    In the car I listen to AM and FM. A lot depends on the time of day. Sometimes there are radio shows I want to hear. Other times I let the scanner go until I find something I like.

    On my computer I'll listen to stations on AOL Radio.

    I have the radio on all the time. Radio 2 mostly but if i am doing a particularly monotonous task like weeding or ironing I listen to BBC Radio4 at 2.15 in the afternoon. It is the Afternoon Play....superb!
