Radio or variations of it
Today at 15:48:25
 
Does anyone listen to radio anymore?

I know streaming has kind of turned into your own radio station, but I'm talking about something that someone else programs what you listen to.

While I don't listen to over the air broadcasting, I do listen to internet radio stations.

I really don't have a radio that plays over the air, I guess my car does but I've never even checked. It is funny how technology changes everything.

I was big into KPIG from Freedom California for a while but they started getting too political for my tastes so I canceled my subscription.

As of late I'm listening to JB Radio, it plays a big enough swath of various music to keep me interested. It is free, high-res and sounds great. There are no ads, no disc jockeys, no interruptions, just music.

Here is their playlist, live updated.

So do you folks listen to the radio, terrestrial or otherwise?

I really only listen in the car, to NPR and a local listener supported classical music station.

With my Roon subscription, I have access to a whole host of internet radio stations. Some are ad free and some are not.  We normally listen to The Penthouse, Vinyl Rock , 80’s on iHEART Radio, and Cinematix which is based out of Paris.  I have actually been finding myself listening to more of it lately just for the variety.  The global radio stations are interesting to hear what others around the world like to listen to.

I listen in the car. Out here in the country the options are limited, but when I go down to the big city I can still listen to the same classic rock stations I listened to when I was in high school. Of course back then it was just "rock." I don't want to mix networking with my listening so I don't have access to the radio, internet or otherwise in the listening room.

My wife and I dial in both AM and FM stations in Kansas City while in the car.  I also use a 30 year old boom box when I’m in the garage working.  Unfortunately, my Pioneer TX-7500 tuner bit the dust a couple of years ago, so we have no radio inside the house.  The Pioneer still works, but the sound is now very distorted.  I wish I knew someone that could get it going again for a reasonable price.

I love listening to the radio, thankfully Boston has a couple of great stations, U Mass Boston Radio 92.9 on the dial being my favorite. They have some really cool shows, one on Saturday morning that focuses on music from the 60's and 70's. The DJ is well informed, I have learned a lot from him. Sunday afternoons are great with world music around 3 and Celtic Twilight after that. They do stream, so check it out. Dixie bee line is another great show but not everyone's cup of tea.
Harvard's station is also good on the weekend as well.
Sounds awesome on my Magnum Dynalab 108 Triode player.
