Do you listen to the radio at all?

[The Shade]

I'm listening to the radio right now. Rock station. Good stuff.

Although I'd prefer less Nickelback, more Pink Floyd, but that's what iTunes is for.

 

[Skeleon]

I only use the radio as an alarm clock in the mornings. Beats the buzzing alarm. And I get to hear the morning news.
Otherwise, no. There are no radio stations here that cater to my taste in music.

 

[Gooble]

I've gone through phases, though that's not exactly true. I went through the phase from maybe like 7-10 when I listened to our local county radio which was like entirely mainstream pop, which I liked back then (though I do remember rocking out to 'Smells Like Teen Spirit'), then I got into good music, and since then I've only had a single phase about a year ago when I started listening to Zane Lowe and Colin Murray on Radio One. And I occassionally flick on to NME Radio on Sky, and I also Kerrang Radio before it got taken off the TV.

I do also listen to cricket/football matches if I can't watch them live.

not for a good few years.

 

[antipunt]

only when I'm driving..

 

[The Maddest March Hare]

A little bit of Just a Minute and other shows of that ilk. And sometimes end up listening to The Now Show, which is ok but not great.

I also have many many recorded series of The Goon Show, which was absolutely amazing when it was around XD

The radio here sucks unfortunately... Thank god for digital music!

[HotShooter]

Only in the car but it's drowned about by my MP4

 

[blitz609]

I listen to radio in the car and internet radio when playin games sometimes.

 

[Ginnipe]

NPR, enough said

 

[rayman 101]

It's the only tthing I have to listen to when I'm travelling in the car in a traffic jam for a fucking hour to my fucking piece of shit school.

 

[7moreDead_v1legacy]

I listen to it very very very rarely and that's only cause the boss puts it on at work sometimes, most of the time it's my mp3's/streamed off youtube or cd's.

 

[Aur0ra145]

Yes, KHYI while driving to work.

 

[Jharry5]

Only when I'm in the car. Other than that, I try not to...

 

[Matronadena]

Only real time it's on is when I'm in the car early early morning, and that's usually to listen to the wall-street journal's show, then more local news... other than that the radio may be on during the day( again still on the am station I mentioned above) but it's turned down super low, and it's more for ambient noise as the spouse and kids and I are talkative.

 

[Combined]

Oh, yes. Quite a lot, actually. Mostly to the news and oldies stations, including some capitalist ones.

 

[muse-13-bliss]

never
cept for a little classical in the car maybe
but i have my ipod for the rest

 

[Taerdin]

Does anyone really listen to radio anymore? With the wide variety and scope of music these days its more of a novelty and doesn't really fufill any music lovers needs when it comes to their listening pleasures.

I wonder how long it will take for music radio stations to die off...

 

[Wadders]

I listen to BBC Radio 1 when I'm cooking, just to have something for my ears to do.

Occasionally theres something interesting on the other stations, like Attenborough's 10 min program on random animals every Monday night on radio 4 I think.

Never in the car though, thats what CD players are for...

 

[Gruthar]

+1 for NPR. Though I do listen to the classic rock stations, too.
