I basically listen to NPR and an 50+ AM station out of Toronto that has a different kind of twist in programming ... they play a wide variety of music, and certainly not '50s, '60s, and '70s rock & roll, around the clock. But mostly, broadcast radio is "cookie cutter" stuff especially FM. FM lacks imagination, variety and balls—it just "plays it safe" by sticking with the same 20 or 30 songs over and over again, geared for teenagers, 24/7. After a while, you stop just listening.

There are still a few things here in San Diego that are really special. Thank God for the college FM radio station and its jazz format. It's really well done.

I listen to my self every day on KLSX Los Angeles from 12–3pm.

A decent way to pass time during rush hour commutes.

I mostly listen in the car and it has become harder and harder to actually find music rather than talk anymore. I am blessed with multiple college FM stations which can be wonderful, or awful, but you can always switch to another one. I also love WFMU an independent eclectic station. I might try other formats, but I can't get web radio in my car and I am too cheap to spend on satellite (gotta save those pennies for a new turntable).

Most of my radio listening is done on the drive to and from work. At least half of the time I turn of the radio and listen to the sound of my engine as I go up and down the gears. My car stereo is rather modest as I enjoy the sound my engine makes. I do not now nor will I ever pay money to listen to the radio, commercial free or not. In the evenings at home I can listen to WRTI (Temple Univ.). WRTI play real Jazz not Black Urban Comtemporary Music like the "smooth jazz" stations play. I like Steely Dan as much as the next guy but Deacon Blues Jazz. I think not.

I only have the equipment to FM and AM

WDET FM DETROIT ON CONSTANTLY IN MY CAR.

Recieved as Christmas Present and love it!

The station broadcast quality keeps getting better with time, although I do not like when they speed up the playback rate on cd's to get more on the air in the hour. Special telephone lines have given way to newer digital links with decent results on the average.

I listen to "Regular FM radio" 8 hours or more each work day, plus whenever I can on the weekends. But what I listen to is a small (15kW) jazz station in Rochester, NY (WGMC 90.1) that is member supported and not NPR affiliated. It's local radio at it's best, and I'll take it over satellite, cable, or web radio any day.

Music Channel's "Classic Jazz" channel on cable.

Jazz programs on the local PBS affiliate. Nothing more, nothing less. (P.D.: no satellite radio in Puerto Rico, and cable or web music just simply sucks!).

It all depends on where you live. Here in the NYC broadcast area, we're blessed to have FM radio that's not completely corporatized. Between 88-94 mHz there's much to like.

Almost all is pubic radio with it being at least 95%. I have heard satellite radio, my brother in-law has it, and it was terrible! Classical music through a good system was not even close to a good FM broadcast. I listen to public radio about five or six hours per day. Echoes is my favorite program with classical programing coming in a very close second.

FM radio, but only in my car. Local FM broadcasting has too extreme an inbalance between music time and ad time, and the ads are **much** louder than the music. At home I rely on my collections of vinyl and silver discs. Comcast gives me access to cable music in my HD package, but using the DVI connector on the SA box, I cannot listen without having the TV on and risking burning in the CRTs. Too bad.

Listen to NPR in the car on FM. Otherwise, I listen to web-based radio.

Once again, you illiterates, your "Choose One" choices have nothing to do with your question! The type of "music" I most often listen to is classical music. The various choices you have allowed for are types of broadcast transmission methods, not types of music!

I listen to NPR stations on FM only
