The radio
---

Millennial killed the radio star?
---

I listen to the local conservative talk radio station when I'm driving
---

The radio here is just country, conservative talk radio, top 40, classic rock.

Hard pass.
---

My radio seldom strays from the classical station on FM and talk radio (and sometimes Tejano) on AM.

I prefer to listen to audiobooks though.
---

They just threw up a station playing the best music from the 70s, 80s and 90s, why would I not listen?
---

Yeah, Sirius XM. Only time I listen to local is if the satellite isn't working.
---

Only satellite radio. I cant listen to FM anymore and never listened to AM.
---

I worked in radio for ten years. It killed itself.

And yes but only to cbc and npr tbh.

AM/FM is probably doing worse than cable TV.
---

I have to at work, its awful hearing the same shit day to day, usually theyll play the same song at least twice during my 8-5 shift. Ugh

It almost surely is. The station I worked at sold for just over 3 million barely over 6 years ago. Another station the same company purchased at the same time was just sold again..... For 650k.

And they paid 4 million for that one. Lol.
---

Yes, i listen everyday on the way to and from work to local fm radio. Also listening right now to the local station classics show
---

Only at work when my coworkers pick music. On Thursday and Monday its my turn to pick music and I just use my Apple Music.
---

Yep, everyday. I keep the radio at work tuned to the jazz station.
---

All the time. I have multiole sat recievers.

I also have a few shortwave radios and a HAM operator license.

I can listen to the radio and do other things unlike tv. I have a well developed habit of playing video games muted.

I dont have tv though.
---

Only Sirius XM in the car

Only Sirius/XM radio.
---

my car only has radio and cassette deck. when i listen to radio its usually npr otherwise im playing a cassette or using my phone lol
---

Hmm... *flips on am/fm radio*

Commercials > DJ talks during the intro of a song that they've overplayed that day > DJ interrupts song towards the end > DJ talks to some callers wanting tickets when they clearly missed the cutoff > generic song > commercial > repeat

It's a wonder why I didn't stop listening to it sooner.
---

Only sports radio in the morning. I gotta have my daily dose of the Boomer Esiasion show tbh.
---

Every once in a while when I don't have anything specific I feel like listening to. I'm in SoCal, and the six stations I have programmed in my car are:

93.1 (Jack FM)
95.5 (KLOS)
98.7 (Think it's called STAR? Or The Sound?)
102.7 (KISS FM)
105.9 (Power 106)
106.7 (KROQ)
---

If I'm driving I occasionally tune into rock 88.9 (wstb). They're one of those listener-supported radio stations so that translates into no commercials. For some reason they play oldies on Sundays though.
---

I mostly just bluetooth spotify from my phone when I'm in the car, but sometimes I'll listen to sports talk stuff.

not even kidding, its been at least like 10 years since I listened to the radio in my car
---

I listen to a radio morning show they post as a podcast after the live feed.

---

Never at home but I go next door to drink beer with my neighbour quite often and he's usually got Q107 on. It's a classic rock station out of Toronto.
---

Yeah, sports talk radio. ESPN has a local station which actually has some good talent. And sometimes I check out the national shows too, which you can stream on the app (you can actually do the same with their local station, but they have a regular radio slot obviously)

Lol. A guy at work listened to that station on some app. He discovered and fell in love with depeche mode like 2 months ago.

He's 39. How he'd never heard of depeche mode before is beyond me
---

I listen to NPR most of the time
---

No, I do not. I noticed every time I would hop in my car it would go like this:

Hop in car
Turn on radio
Eitehr somebody was talking about some BS I don't care about or it was a commercial
Change station
Same thing
Turn off radio

Now I bring my iPod with me for nonstop commercial free music. If the radio didn't give out free tickets they'd be long gone.
---

sports radio almost exclusively.
---

yes but only public broadcasters and the local college station

got no time for commercial radio

I listen to BBC radio.

Scott Mills, Ken Bruce, Jeremy Vine and radio 4 dramas.
---

Yes, Usually todays hits and best music. Rock is another one I consider listening to.

Yeah I listen to the r&b station almost exclusively.
---

All the time. I like listening to sports talk even though baseball is the only sport I truly care about. Even just listening to what's going on in other sports can be interesting though.

Interesting. I'm 55 and I had never heard of Depeche Mode until I played Left 4 Dead some years back, and one of the game characters had that name on her T-shirt. I had to google the name to find out what the hell it was. Fairly certain I have never heard their music, unless it was in that game.

I stopped listening to the radio in the early 80's.

I listen to morning talk radio on the weekdays, and sports if I can't watch it.
---

I listen to local sports radio on my way into work and NPR on my way home. I haven't listened to music on the radio in a long time.

I listen to Pandora, and sometimes if I'm at a restaurant or other establishment I might hear music playing.

I take public transit and walk, so I don't get exposed to car radio. And even if I did drive a car i would probably still jist use Pandora instead of the actual radio.

Wow.

I mean I'm not even a real fan of depeche mode and I realize they werent exactly the Beatles but this still surprises the heck out of me. I mean Johnny cash covered personal Jesus.

During high school and my early college years (2005-11) I listened to WSTB allll the time. It was always a disappointment turning it on Sundays and hearing the Oldies Jukebox lol. I rarely listen to the radio anymore (it's Spotify 99% of the time now) but if I do it's 91.3, which is also listener-supported
---

I still listen to the local radio stations on my old RCA portable CD Player radio station

Weekly contests still go on at the radio stations and theyre fun to do.

anyone know if Rick Dees still around these days nationally? Rick Dees and the Weekly Top 40 was popular back in the mid and late 1990s

Yes, all the time.
---

Yeah, the Minnesota sports station actually has the best programming I've ever heard from a sports perspective.

I use Sirius during commercials, which is technically radio as well.

And yes I am a millennial
