40 years in this house, and the only time a radio has ever been on here, is when my girls were in school and we listened to the radio for lunch menu, school closings, and bus announcements. We also listened to the radio occasionally during power outages.
I listened to the radio in the car on my way to and from work for 27 years. Since retiring, the radio is hardly ever turned on. I prefer a quiet house, altho my husbands TV is on nearly 20 hours a day.
