Considering that radio has been one of my biggest interests for over 40 years, I was pleased to see the results of a Microsoft poll I took yesterday. The survey asked, Do you still listen to AM/FM radio? The response options were Often, Sometimes, Rarely, and Never. Often was my answer, and I was pleased to see that it was the most frequent response. With over 72,000 votes cast, 48% of respondents said they listen often, while 27% said they tune in sometimes.
In an age of streaming, podcasts, and customized playlists, I'm glad that the radio is still a source of music, news, and (hopefully) civil discourse for a clear majority of listeners.
