Yes yes, you can find any little thing to add as an argument to support "I don't listen to radio", but a lot of us still listen to radio.

Sometimes, you want to find something other than what's in your mp3/CD/cassette collection. Growing up, there were very specific shows that I would listen to specifically for being introduced to something (whether it was new or old and just new to me). Radio did not become a bad experience to me until Clear Channel/Comcast bought up all of the non-indies and made it greater than 80% chance that you'd hear a commercial whenever you tuned into any given station.

I'd also suspect that your "a lot of us" sounds really big in whatever echo chamber you find yourself

> a lot of us still listen to radio.

For sufficiently qualified values of "us", perhaps. But I do not believe that is true for the general population.

You listen to it, but presumably you don't support it, since it's dying, right?

[dylan604]

Your presumptions are almost as bad as when you assume. Actually, they're better since you can leave the "me" out of the assu prove to be. I've supported my community station KNON since I was in high school. Might have missed here or there, but I've contributed to them longer than anything else.

The only thing dying in this thread are the 3 stations King runs, and whatever notions you thought you had on me.

You can just go look up the numbers. There's a large Pew study about it.

There's a Pew study on how I don't support my local radio? Interesting.

For the salient definition of "you", yes.
