Poll of the Day > Do you still listen to the radio?

(+) Yeah! (+)

do you?

---

No, there are too many ads.

---

Occasionally

---

Does satellite radio count? It's not technically "the radio"...

---

Never really did. Even when younger i had a CD player or usually just ignored sound to play on gameboy. And now phones have the ability to play whatever you want rather than having someone else decide for you so its a pass for me.

---

I do when driving.

---

I used to back in the day and even record off it onto cassette however these days I have no use. My thing is now though trying to show my old man that he doesn't need radio anymore but he's 66 so eh.

---

Rarely. Only if I'm driving someone else's vehicle and don't want to mess with connecting my phone to their stereo. The radio stations available in most of Bakersfield don't play the music I want to hear.

Youtube is my radio.

---

Only during driving, and even then not too often. Usually it's my own music mix I listen to.

But occasionally it'll fail to connect when I start my car, and will default to a radio station. And I'll just leave it.

---

Only at work, because my boss likes to have it on.

---

Sometimes, usually when I don't want to deal with trying to get the bluetooth working in my car. Most of the time I would rather listen to my mp3's since the radio rarely has stations with even a handfull of songs I want to listen to.

you listen with headphones when driving?

---

AM talk radio usually. The CD player in my pickup is not happy all the time and some days I dont feel like convincing it to work.

No, my car has bluetooth so I just have to pair my phone with it and the music on my phone will play through the car speakers.

It is not 100% reliable though, so when it doesn't want to work I just say screw it and use the radio.

---

No, way too many ads. Plus if I did, I would listen to Rock out of the options a radio station would play and my local rock station only plays songs that are about 15+ years old.

---

No, never. Stations don't play the music I listen to

---

Sometimes when I'm driving home. I do like Sirius XM, but I only listen to that for First Wave and Ozzy's Boneyard

Almost never. Most stations don't play my preferred kinds of music, so if I do listen to the radio it's usually just to the annual Classic FM most-loved chart once a year.

---

Just while driving.

---

Yes.

---

Nope. MP3 player.

---

Yes , unfortunately this time of the year it's either Xmas music or the not so top 40 of today or yesterday as the most common options.

Thankfully , I don't usually get the constant commercials that drive time listeners have to deal with since I go in and get off 2 hours before each usually.

I don't listen as much as I did before the tech boom.

I recently found a variety station that I liked so much, I listen to it online now

---

Occasionally I'll listen to NPR, but rarely anything else. Usually if I'm listening to the radio, it's satellite radio.

---

nope. on demand stuff only zero commecials

I used to when I delivered pizza and the University campus station was awesome a lot of the time. That was about 8 years ago though. Any 'regular' radio is very mind-numbingly boring for me (the music they play, and the adverts).

I have around 280GB of music all meticulously sorted in MusicBee. I use Spotify for discovery a little but prefer not to. Bandcamp is my preferred way to purchase. I also buy CD and vinyl, depending.

---

Yes, but its public radio where its mostly indie/local stuff.

---

Rarely. If I do, it's usually the local jazz station.

Just NPR or, very rarely, if there happens to be a football game on when I am driving.
---

At work and in the car.

---

Occasionally - mostly when I'm riding the bus to somewhere

---

Listening to radio in the modern age is like watching basic cable

I do love Bandcamp.

---

Sometimes. Usually when Im in the vehicle, though.

Yes and I still play records, cassette tapes and 8 track tapes too on my iPod lol

---

Yes. Both internet and actual physical radio. Mostly BBC World Service for news. And other related programs. Sometimes football (soccer) matches at the weekend but I usually just follow those on the live sport page. Same for when Test cricket is on.

I never use the radio for music. Those days are long past. Why when for years you can just use whatever app to listen to the songs you want when you want, without annoying shite radio DJs. I use Deezer. Been listening to a lot of Kylie lately her new album is her best in years. And Melanie C with her latest too.

---

Yep, even use the radio app on my phone sometimes.
