Default Radio Station Closures - Poll

With all the layoffs, closures, and negative press surrounding radio stations I'm curious how dire the listenership is out there?

How many of you listen to radio of any sort in the car?

Is it the programming/music that has driven you away or is it radio and you just prefer streaming or other options?

Haven't turned the radio on since they moved Oiler's Now from the noon spot.
"Hey Siri, play me some music."

I listen to AM, FM and Satellite. Depending on the mood, I can switch it up 3 times in 5 minutes and often do.

Do miss the TSN 1260 and Oilers Now at noon. Always have the radio on at work mostly for background noise.

AM / FM --- switch stations quickly when an NDP ad, interview with Trudeau or Michael Buble' comes on.

FM in my work truck. Drowns out the rattle. Podcasts sometimes. Spotify or FM in my personal.

I listen to satellite or own tunes. Cannot stand hosts talking all the time thinking they are funny or people calling in with boring, obnoxious stories.

For years I listened to am but they don't really have good radio shows anymore. Remember Gordon Liddy, David Rutherford, Michael Reagan, Late night with Art Bell, Rush Limbaugh ,Oliver North ,etc.
Now ive recently discovered 70s ,80s music on FM 103 in Calgary.
