music Do you listen to the radio?

[BlueStreak98 827]

WWCD-FM, 102.5 in Columbus, Ohio, is a very rare breed--it is an independently owned rock radio station. While most stations (and by most I mean 99%) of radio stations in this country are owned by large media conglomerates or corporate entities (such as ClearChannel/IHeartRadio), CD102.5 is locally owned and operated. They tend to play alternative stuff, so there's a lot of Indie Rock, but they also mix in local artists and even have occasional guest DJs--who are just local folks who wrote in with a playlist for their free day and get invited to the station to take it for a spin. While I don't always love their rotation, I'm proud that my local market has such a unique station.

I only listen to radio when someone else is listening to radio. I personally don't listen to much music.

I usually only listen to the radio when we forget the mp3 player on our way out to do errands or while cleaning. I can't trust myself to clean with the TV on.

My favorite thing on one of our local stations is Helium Theater. The whole morning crew inhales helium and then acts out movie scenes. I usually only get to listen to it on my way to a doctor's appointment though. My least favorite thing is Mandatory Metallica in the afternoon. They often play the same Metallica songs.

Yes, when I bilocate. My purpose is to search for familiar signals, unrelated to planet earth. But all kind of radio waves get in the way, making it a hindrance to explore.

Either way, my consciousness is capable of identifying multiple signals simultaneously, while also translating some of them into sequential images.

Apparently, earth is promoted as a resource investment planet in the galactic community. Non the less, human beings are kept ignorant by means of governmental decrees, in agreement with some of the races involved in this experiment.

Such corporations have investments on earth's resources, involving human beings.

Dissapointing.

I don't really listen the radio very much. I don't actively seek out to listen to it. If I am in a car during a long ride, maybe I will listen to it as background noise, but that's about it.

[Nara 83]

Not really lately. Sometimes when I can't fall asleep and my music doesn't help, I turn on the radio to listen to some late night interviews to help me fall asleep :>

[Le Trotteur Sauvage 13,046]

Where I live there's a radio named Laugh and music, wich alternates between comedy show and music, I can listen to this radio all day long if I want because it's really funny ans the music are okay.
But all the other radio are just the same music again again again and again...it's borring !

[KatonRyu 1,020]

I listen to the radio when I drive to work in the morning. On the way back I usually have my own music on.

[Discordian 6,003]

Nope. I hate hearing ads, especially when they take up the entirety of my travel time.

 

I also prefer to have a choice in what I listen to and most of what I like doesn't play in any shape or form on the radio.

[Nightfall Gloam 17,904]

Not often, my main sources of music are mainly YouTube and Spotify now

[Oleks 1,967]

I listen to it more often lately, since I found this amazing web-site: http://radio.garden/live/
It's so fun browsing randomly all around the world.

[Brony Number 42 8,579]

I like talk radio and pod casts.

[Whirlwind 1,031]

I listen to XM satellite radio. FM and AM are dead.

[Luigi 7,864]

The only time I ever listen to the radio is if I'm in my car, and there's a Twins game I can tune in onto.

[Dreambiscuit 6,704]

I absolutely never listen to the radio unless I'm driving and have to tune in for traffic or weather updates. Otherwise I listen strictly to my own CDs. I do have the original NPR Star Wars Trilogy which is radio drama at its finest, so I guess that counts as radio, even if it's all on CD anyway. 

[PoisonClaw 8,131]

Not really. It's kept on to give our dogs something to listen to so they don't think they've been abandoned every time everyone leaves the house, but I swear every station only have a catalogue of a dozen or so songs that they just play over and over again, day in and day out. 

[Zachary 5,516]

Rarely but Can only Listen to the Radio in the Car and My Family basically have a Lot of CDs in Her Car.

[stripper 251]

I never listen to music ever. People have weird responses when I tell them that. I don't even like listening to the radio while driving

[Denim&Venöm 14,202]

94.1 JJO every morning when it wakes me up for work. Or 95.1 Will Rock if the signal is too patchy. Or if I'm desperate not to hear oldies ballads or country that my radio randomly picks up, I'll tune to 102.9 The Hog.  Listen to a few songs while I get ready for work, then shut it down when I head out. Otherwise I just go to youtube or my own expansive collection. Better chances of not being spammed by the latest release, old hits getting reruns, or dealing with grunge & 90s alt rock getting their own hour long programming block.

[Sovereign Leader Rarity 11,964]

I never used to. But since I moved to a school that's half an hour away when driving, I listen to it virtually every weekend.

 

It's like a happy tradition to pump me up.

 

Then school starts and EVERYTHING GOES TO SHIT!!!!!!!!

[CT-1138 3,176]

All the time, especially when I'm in my car! 

[The_Gobo 36,257]

I usually avoid using the radio in my car,

typically trying to use my mp3 player instead.

I really hate ad's. lol

[CheeryFox 23,745]

Usually only Bluetooth via Internet stations. 

[Kiri 7,273]

I listen to the classical music station when driving. Sometimes, I'll flip to the '80s/'90s station, though. Otherwise, I use Spotify!

[GrimGrimoire 4,962]

Nope. Around here pretty much every radio station is just full of garbage... either music genres I am not interested in, or so full of ads as to make them intolerable. Also I prefer to keep the radio off when driving in the city so I can pay more attention to what others are doing around me.

 

I can just hook up my phone and play music from Amazon or some such if I really feel the need to.
