99% of the time I'm listening to music it's from a streaming service where I can pick what I want to hear.

If I have to listen to the radio I'm annoyed by all the constant commercials and will gladly pay for spotify premium.

I’ll still tune in to local sports talk occasionally. I haven’t listened to FM radio since I was a teen in the 90s.

I listen to 98.1 daily.

I think there is still a place for terrestrial radio.

I’ll even stream 98.1 when I’m out of town sometimes, makes it feel like home a little.

I listen to the radio, i have 3-4 stations that i will jump around on when commercials come on if they bother me. Sometimes I might want to hear a commercial or local traffic.

Never. Tired of being constantly advertised to.

Local sports talk radio is the 2nd most listened to thing on the radio now, behind only country music.

The Columbus ESPN affiliate is live and local from 6am-8pm, and they do crazy ratings.

This. Though most of the time I’m having to stream it off their app because I’m out of radio range, but still. For some reason, highly enjoy driving around the Permian oilfield with KBON on in the truck.

Also:
Classic Country Saturday Night on 97.3 The Dawg

Walton & Johnson Radio Show wherever if can catch it, if not on radio, then stream it as well.

Approximately 90% of my listening is to terrestrial radio where I like to listen to local sports talk shows. The other 10% would be programs on Sirius XM.

I've been in very rural west Texas and east New Mexico a few times the past couple of years. Sometimes all you get is an AM station or two, you're definitely aren't streaming anything out in some spots. If you do a lot of driving like us I recommend SiriusXM. It's rare not having a signal even in the most remote spots.

I have a thumb drive for my songs. Free and I don’t listen to garbage daughter is a stripper songs with commercials. Referring to Pink Pony Club. How trashy.

When making short drives to the store and such on the weekends I'll keep it on Eagle 98. I really enjoy when the JCW show calls the Tiger King in prison.

Makes me sad that I'm hearing Blink 182 on a classic rock station, though.
