Who here still listens to AM/FM radio?

Recommended Posts

I guess I'm a relic....

 

I'm a techie that has a 128gb USB drive plugged into my USB port and I find that I tend to only listen to that on a longer drive so I enjoy the radio.

 

And it has the advantage that I don't have to look at it when I'm driving like I would have to do with my OnePlus One if I use it for everything.

 

My Xmas present to myself this year was to upgrade the MFT radio in my SE and buy the HD Radio ACM (you need one from a Titanium the part number end in CC to CL)

and send it to Jason up at fordpimods.com to get the feature enabled in my APIM.

When driving my wife's FFH, I tend to listen mostly news/traffic/weather channel on fm. It keeps me company as much as anything.

 

Wife seems to be some fm, some Pandora, and a lot of audio books.

 

If you have an audio system, the am/fm circuits are probably just a few more bucks, and I expect broadcast radio to be around in cars for a long time.

 

My daily driver has no audio abilities, and can't say I miss it. I just talk to myself a bit more.

I see your point, but not for the same reason. It became apparent to me a LONG time ago that music radio exists to advertise more than it does to play music. So there's about one music station in my area that I listen to sometimes, and that's WXRT Chicago 93.1. I listen to two talk stations, 720 WGN-AM, 820 WCPT-AM. And 90.1 FM on the weekends for the vintage radio program Those Were The Days. Otherwise, I listen to my own recordings.
