Who still listens to radio?
I do. NPR, BBC, and when traveling I often will seek out local stations if there are underground or college.
But I get your point: most of time even if I am listening to a radio station, I actually am streaming it unless drving.
Lowest common denominator, homogeneous commercial slop stations are horrendous, but as you mentioned BBC Radio and ABC in Oz are great. BBC Radio 6 and ABC Triple-J are both great.
And there are some fantastic local college stations with real people but you have to seek them out.
Big cities that still have live DJs mostly.
