Average age of a car on the road is 11 years old. And that article is from 2 years ago.

I like the radio just fine, I just don't like to listen to only music very much. I prefer something with a story such as radio drama, audio book, or television in the background. That said Radio is really nice with npr and the occasional music channel.

What is this, elementary school?

Learn to accept different opinions.

Me, I listen to the radio pretty much all the time, both when I'm driving and when I'm working on projects. It's cheaper and easier than loading an MP3 player with all the music you want. If a song comes on that I don't particularly care for, big deal. I listen to it and move on like an adult.

It's time you start acting like an adult too.

is this a serious post lmao

My Dad at work as there is no Wi-Fi, some folk don't have phones or whatever. It's just more simple to stick the radio on and it doesn't matter if the radio gets stolen/damaged as it's easy and cheap to replace.

I had a 1991 Honda accord when I was in high school. I played music off of my ipod with it using the cassette player. There's basically been better alternatives to the radio for over a decade

Anyone who listens to jackwagons try to be funny on morning radio shows are really boring people. Political radio is also for boring, angry people who need to parrot someone else's opinion. And conspiracy theory radio like coast to coast is well... yeahhh. Basically anyone interesting or worth listening to isn't on the radio. They're on television or have podcasts or what have you

I ask myself the same question all the time. And by that, I mean "Why the fuck do still people listen to the radio", which I assume is what you also meant, but too many people here took your question literally.

My guess as to why would be the same reason I still listened to it for so long: convenience. If a car has some kind of stereo, then at minimum it has a radio. Even if it has other options, some people don't always like bothering with getting their CDs or auxiliary devices going. After I upgraded to a stereo with aux and USB ports, I still would put it on the radio as my "default" when I wasn't using my phone, even though I already knew I hated the radio at that point.

Then one day, about a year ago, I decided to just turn the radio off entirely, and I've never looked back. I just keep it on aux and I don't connect my phone for every drive, but I've realized that silence is much better than the shitty radio.

Usually Stern 100 for me, but lately I've been listening to a lot of Willie's Roadhouse (ch. 59). I've never been much of a country fan, but fell in love with that old-school country. Does get repetitive at times but I don't mind much because it helps me learn the songs and learn what artists I like.

They play the radio at work.
Though I'm usually listening to stuff off youtube or my music player.

My dad also plays the radio when he drives.

And given how often they do giveaways on the radio and people actually win, I'd say a lot of people still do. A guy I know from HS just won 4 tickets to something from the radio this week.

It's what I use. I'd rather pay to not listen to ten minutes of ads every 15 minutes.

My go to stations are Underground Garage, First Wave, Lithium, Faction, Ozzy's Boneyard, Outlaw Country, Ici Musique Chansons, Deep Tracks, The Bridge, Backspin, BB King's Bluesville, 40s Junction, BBC World Service, and the comedy stations.

I mainly stick around the first eight, then depending on the mood I'll go down or around that list. The shows on First Wave are pretty boss though.
