Do you tune in to Radio programmes?

hello dpk, I am still tuning to radio station,listening music while doing mylot or listening to one program that is a big hit here in our place,it's a radio program that cater calls from listeners and provide advice for broken hearts and heart problems in particular. I enjoyed listening to the DJ's advice,he's kind of smart when giving advice...and is really based on real truth. but most of the time i just listen to musics from my fave radio station. have a great day always

I don't listen to radio programs a whole bunch these days. Last year my commute was much further. I drove an hour round trip each day. This allowed for me to listen to NPR for an hour each day and listen to the news, weather and some interesting programs. My husband loves listening to old radio shows on Sirius sattelite radio which we have in our other car. I tend to listen to more music than anything because I'm not in the car long enough to listen to much. Doesn't mean I don't enjoy them, it's mostly just a matter of the amount of time I have each day to devote to listening to the radio.

In Kerala, radio was an important part of every household...even when the television was around. Going by my in-law's place, I think it is still the case. Most of us (when I was growing up) would time ourselves using the radio. I had to leave for school soon after a song programme in the morning. I haven't tuned into the BBC's world service. Till a few years back, I would listen to old Hindi songs in the morning and at noon. I stopped when I started working and our system conked off. We've got a new system now but I listen to the radio only once in a while. In summer when I'll be up earlier, I will revive that habit:)

THere was a time when my transistor radio was even more faithful than Mary's little lamb.I would take it everywhere I went and used to listen to film songs like crazy. But this habit stopped soon after I got married and now I do not even have a radio at home.However , there are so many programmes on television that I do not have the need for this radio. But it is not because it is old fashioned or any such thing.

Hello Deepak, You remembered my golden days (childhood) then radio was the only entertainment source in our village. We sit infront of the radio (which operated by battery) for listening the drama, films songs, etc and the time of relay from the local station was also limited. After a particular time the Delhi relay will start and nobody interested to listen because it is either in English or in Hindi. The scene changed soon and so many radio stations started in the state and many programs are also available. By the time tv also got a place in home but still the radio is at my home, (not the old one but another musical system with radio) Now radio also started programs like TV e.g. phone in programs. At present I am not listening the radio, the musical system in our home (here in Delhi) is also have the radio but I hardly get time for it. Here the radio is telecasting sweet and memorable hindi songs (my earlier mobile had FM and I used to listen it)

Hiya dpk, If I can find a good Radio Station then I will listen to it for a while. I don´t go out of my way to see the Television or listen to the Radio actually if my mind is on working on something else that I am doing while I am offline. If I am online and have work to do on here but I need to online to do it then surfing the Internet is left till I have finished everything that I need to do on that particular Job first. I don´t think it´s old fashioned to listen to a Radio Station of any kind at all. We listen to the Radio in the Car sometimes because we have a bit more time to relax and just listen. Have a great weekend all. xxx

I miss Indian Radio so much. It was so nice when we where children....whole day radio was on and nice songs would keep repeating again and again and we would automatically learn the wording and start singing with the song.....Old songs, new songs , always fresh in our memory.......I grew up listening to songs and it was pleasure working in the kitchen listing to the radio.......those days have gone now and will never come back.........so sad.......Here in Israel, there is no Hindi radio. Though radio is now available on computers , yet it is not the same. Nice discussion

When I was in school, I often listen to the radio. I often listen to music on the radio, and sometimes I listen to news on the radio. But now I, never again to hear the radio. I do not know why, but I feel bored when listening to the radio. Unless there is news that is really very interesting to me.

Hi dpk, I still listen to the radio. Some of us here are not lucky enough to have cable or internet connections so we rely on local channels on TV, music and news on radio to be updated.

Hi dpk! The only time I have for radio these days is while I'm driving in the car! And with 2 kids, I don't drive all that far for the most part, so we just listen to music . . . a couple songs and we will have reached our destination. I used to listen to the news stations - particularly if I were in a long drive with terrible weather (and wanting to know about freeway conditions). I loved Top 40 music programs over the weekend in my teens and early adulthood. Interviews with pop stars were always cool to hear (sometimes I would listen to BBC programs for that). I think of my parents and their Japanese programs they would listen to on Sunday mornings. Gosh, you remind me I should take advantage of listening to the radio more often!

I used to when I was a kid. My dad bought me this small radio device that plays a range of fm stations. There were great music back then, especially the '90s rock. I really enjoyed listening to them. If you're pertaining to radio programmes such as audio plays or stories, no, I'm not a fan. The radio programmes I listen to are the top 10s weekly and the request segment where you can request for your favorite songs. I'm also not a big fan of the news back then.

Radio has it own charm but unfortunately it does not fit into the hectic schedule that one follows.

I listen to the radio only when I'm driving. I live in a big city where traffic is really bad, and so I have more time to listen to radio. We have only one English news channel that I listen to. I'm not sure it's BBC though. And yes, I would love going back to the time when radio is still popular. I think people can still go on with the work they do while listening and the imagination is more active then. Unlike today, most people are hooked up in the internet like I am now at m Lot and I still have washings to do, haha!

I sometimes listen to radio stations when I'm at home,but it isn't a regular habit;I remember the days when when I had an old radio and I used to enjoy listening to it,especially when there were live soccer matches,but now they're all on tv.Anyway,I still enjoy listening to certain musical radio stations on the Internet and that's all now.

YEs, I still listen to radio (AM and FM) from time to time. Whenever I am off the work, I listen to FM radio stations for their music and usually during mornings, AM stations serves their purpose for me because I listen to the news from there. =)

I like to listen to Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, and THE WORLD (PRI). Rush Limbaugh is also pretty good.

At this, my friend. I am no longer listen to a radio station. I prefer now watching news on TV or reading news online

I listen to the radio almost every day! I like to exercise to music or if I am doing a big housecleaning chore. The station I listen to also has comedians and I like that also. I could make a tape to exercise to, but this way I kind of know what is going on in the world. I don't watch the news much and I get most of the news from the radio.

I've never tuned into the BBC world service. I have listened to a lot of NPR always in the car. They have interesting radio programs. I don't drive anymore so I don't listen to them anymore.

I never listen to BBC radio because we don't have BBC radio here in my place. When I was a kid, my family used to listen to the radio. We get our news and entertainment right from the radio. We listen to the old and latest music through the radio. I miss listening the old radio days, but still I prefer the Internet than radio.
