The only FM radio I listen to with any regularity is Exitos 94.3 to practice my Spanish listening skills. If I want to hear music I listen to Amazon Unlimited streaming. Ridiculous amount of commercials on FM radio now, and wading through them to hear the same few songs over and over is not worth it to me. Streaming allows so much more variety and zero commercials, well worth the cost to me.

We refer to Q95 as the AC/DC station. Turn it on at any random it isn't B&T and it's likely AC/DC

 

[DoggyDaddy]

I only listen to 92.3 WTTS. Thankfully it's not an Emmis station. Music from the 60's to the present (no rap or hip-hop or "pop") and only a reasonable amount of commercials with frequent "commercial free" sets.

Thunderstruck is my generation's Fortunate Son.

Yeah, the same 3 or 4 AC/DC songs. Those guys had **** tons of great songs, and every radio station in the country that plays them, plays the same 3-4 songs!

Curious to see what they do with 93.1.

 

[littletommy]

This just sounds like more woke garbage. Like radio actually needed something else to ensure it’s demise. Radio screwed itself, and anybody willing to invest in it, apparently aren’t very bright.

Let the urbanites waste their money, it isn’t like they were gonna use it for anything worthwhile anyway.

They’ll destroy it, just like everything else.

I'm guessing the conservative talk shows will be replaced by "urban issues" talk and rap and hip-hop music. Any time something is prefaced with "urban" it usually goes to ****.

Even my favorite "gentleman's club" from my midlife crisis (Classy Chassy) has changed to "Onyx" (an "urban" club). Since then, there have been multiple shootings at the club. That never happened when it was the Classy Chassy. But catering to the "urban" clientele brings violence and ruin to everything it touches.

That’s what I assumed. I guess it’s back to 93.9 full time…

I started using Amazon music a couple years ago and haven’t looked back, no comparison to radio. I’ve driven from here to Florida and kept my Amazon playlist on the entire way, no BS commercials and never heard the same song twice.

And they have tons of podcasts, too.

I would have no idea how to do that. If it involves using my cell phone, I'm out. I've flipped through the channels on my car radio and none of them said "Amazon".

Well, to be honest, you could do worse.

If you have Amazon prime, you just download the app on your phone, login, and go.

i tried Amazon music, I wasn’t overly impressed. Regardless I can’t use my phone in my work truck, it’s got an old Kenworth brand CD player head unit, no frills except more bass than the speakers can handle!
