It’s not news that radio is in a sad state these days. With certain evil empires controlling the airwaves, the quality of content has gone down steadily. What brings this to mind? Just a couple of reminders of why I listen to CD’s or my MP3 player on the way to work every morning (or at least something less obnoxious if Takaza‘s in the car).
Exhibit One
Exhibit Two
And thank heavens for intelligent programs in the evenings…
Without Morning Edition and ATC, I do believe I would just curl up and die! As such, I really probably should become a contributing member, I suppose 😉
No Radio
Yup, I haven’t listened to the radio in the car for three years. Nothing but CDs. The local morning shows either got too repetetive and cruel, or they never played any songs I wanted to hear. ClearChannel is evil. Even internet radio is being annihilated by the RIAA.
And people wonder why I don’t listen to much more than NPR on the radio. Even the talk station here has gone ultraultra conseriative that I can’t even stand to listen to their sports talk now.
