I really enjoy FM radio and I guess I am luckier than some with the choices available,everything from classical to jazz to alternative.But I have done some driving in parts of the nation where the radio sucked,very few station and the ones that came in were unlistenable either due to music selection (someone say C&W<don't yell at me man) or bad quality of signal.The second one baffles me because it is usually in areas where it is dead flat terrain ,nothing blocking the signal-so transmitter strength must be low.So yes,I can understand those wanting ANY kind of radio.
But you really get screwed in another way.
On my way to work I listen to the morning shows on radio,weather,traffic reports so I know where to deviate from my intended path-you get NONE of that with "canned" radio (pre-programmed).The antics of the nutcases that do morning radio have me in tears laughing some mornings and it takes my mind off of where I am going (WORK,they call it that for a reason!).And as I said,I could not do without my traffic reports.
My only REAL bitch is this guy bob.He owns a chain of discount furniture stores and is on local TV/radio ALL THE FRIGGIN TIME
His whining ass gets on my nerves to the point of wanting to scream.Point ? Take the good with the bad,live radio is where it is at but they have bills too,and the "bobs" are required to maintain radio free america.Good with the bad,how **** works
