I've noticed that lately, i'm listening to radio more than anything else. That's because I have one on all the time at work, and I also listen to it in the car. One thing I do hate though, is the lack of fresh music. I mean I keep hearing the same tracks every 2 hours or so. Or maybe it's just me because I have keep it on all day at work. :)) Do you listen to the radio? If yes when, where, how often.

Yes, I still listen to the radio rather frequently - in the car (maybe three or four local FM stations), and when I'm in the mood at work, I turn on the radio there too. It still seems like there's a variety of music and interesting talk programs, but I wish there were fewer commercials!

I do listen to the music on radio now. I never used to do around 2 years ago. But with private players allowed by the govt in this field they have changed the old boring system of the national broadcasing and one has access to a good number of fm channels and great choice with great songs, new music.

i used to like Paul Harvey as it was not really news but a lot of his own ideas made into the news..even the commercials were made into this format and there was always.."and that is the rest of the story" but there still is some good Canadian radio shows ..about Health and Medecine..Holistic? well they have a different slant.
Now I am retired I don't listen to the radios except detroit 950 a.m. and that is all news..and maybe Sunny Elliot? he is a very cory (funny?P) weatherman...the worst jokes..but its all in fun

I still listen to the FM on occasion mostly in my car. Granted since my drive to class is only 15 minutes it isn't on very long. There are of course times where I prefer to leave it off mainly because all the stations are playing commercials or bad talk hosts.

I listen to the radio, both F.M. over the airwaves, and streaming audio from the internet. I have a directory of all streaming radio stations, and like to listen do different areas of the U.S., and rest of world. I listen to my old station in California, where I used to work, I listen to Country stations in Georgia, Virginia, and Tennessee
I listen to classic Rock in Boston, and New York. You get better variety, not always same rotation as local stations.

Oh yes, I do.
I listen to the radio quite a bit.
When I am at my desk at the computer, I like to have internet radio on one tab.
And when I am outside, I will listen to the radio on my phone if there is reception.:)

I only ever listen to the radio in the car when I am on my way somewhere. A lot of times I do not have it on because my 13 month old is asleep in the backseat and I don't want to disturb her. Other times it is pretty loud and she and my 8 year old are dancing to the music. If I am actually by myself then it is usually turned on and fairly loud.

I don't listen much anymore because I don't go out much, and the TV is usually on here in the house.
I do listen occasionally to a favorite station online, but even that is touch because so many websites have music when you open them and it irritates me when they play over each other.
I miss it ...

I have a DAB radio (Digital Audio Broadcasting). I don't listen to music because I prefer speech stations which broadcast news, comedy shows, dramas, phone-ins and serious discussions.
Maybe I am lucky living in the U.K. where I have a good choice of radio channels.

Hehe, I'd get distracted while driving, If i'd listen to somebody having a discussion. About the radio stations, there are lots of them where I live... I guess it's because I have the same one on for 6 hours straight at work, that's why I get annoyed. :))
