I love the radio!....It must go back to when I was growing up and my Mom always having the radio on...She didn't really watch TV much at all....She just loved listening to the radio!...So, here I am, finding myself the same...I love listening to Talk Radio and have it on whenever I'm home, driving to work or running errands....I feel like I belong back in my Mom's generation...lol...However, for me personally, I learn so much more listening to Talk Radio than from watching any of the Cable News Networks....and most definitely enjoy the radio hosts much more, as they are, without a doubt, more professional and intellectual....It is also far more relaxing for me.

Oh, one more thing, I even have one in my shower!...lol

Talk radio at home from the time I get up until I go to bed. Local guy until noon and then I stream the rest of the time. More choices that way. If I miss Joe Pags because I want to watch some television, I catch up with him later via I heart radio.

In the car it's local or semi local talk.

If it gets too intense at any time, I'll go to sports talk or music.

eta...We didn't have it on much in the house when I was growing up (and I was usually outside with friends anyway during daylight), but whenever I was with my grandmother (days in the summer), it was always on until it was time for the evening news. Local stuff...farm reports, I guess obits...local radio. Oh...and Paul Harvey.

My mother was a Giants baseball fan from way back, so from the time the Giants move to San Francisco, our radio was on KSFO for every game and on KSFO in the morning during breakfast. I recall learning the song "The Yellow Rose of Texas" listening to KSFO as a little kid, before the Giants arrived. I kept on listening to KSFO/KNBR for Giants/Niner games until we moved away in 1996, but also listened to KSFO thousands of hours to Jim Lang's show in the morning, with John Madden's Monday morning football report - was terrific, then over to the folks on KNBR.

Listened to classical music from my teens on (2 stations at the time) and started listening around age 10 to KYA and KEWB for Rock 'n Roll in the 50s. Gene Nelsen was my faborite DJ (KYA).

Now I live in a different state and city with nasty radio. By that I mean music-wise it's screamin' meamie wild time junk and Latino music, plus one milk toast public radio classical channel and one jazz channel. I mean it's horrible for music! I do listen to A.M. talk radio, though, and enjoy it. When we used to visit this city about 17 years ago, they had a Rock 'n Roll station, but when we arrived - gone.

Same thing happened in San Diego. There WAS Rock 'n Roll and 30's and 40's stations - plural - then they all died. That was a sad time, because now all that remains is the music that shouts, is loud, screams messages of hate, etc. Just what we don't need.

My interest radio is vast. Starting with Hitchcock/Lone Ranger and some Arthur Godfrey. At 15 my interest in "sound/audio" before true stereo was available. Been an Audiophile since.

I have a 9 speaker/2 subwoofer system set up surrounding all my many exercise equipment. Never interested in "talk radio", more interested in getting true stereo/Quadrophonic music sounds. Now I listen to the "oldie" music stations, mostly when driving. Over the Holidays, I listened to lots of Christmas and Gospel Music.

That's my "radio shhtic"! ☺

My “radio days” were from the time I was 11 and was given a transistor radio. I listened to baseball games and the Top 40 stations and hot local radio DJs. Listened to radio daily until I was well into my 20s. Then I dropped out for many years.

When I picked up again I listened to a single oldies station that played what I like, a classical station, and news. Gradually the oldies station changed - I detested their dumb on-air morning personalities, and they played a narrow range of the same songs over and over again.

Discovered one of our two (at the time) 24 hr news stations and stuck with that until I moved away. I still wish there was something similar where I live now, but there isn’t.

I have to have Sirius now, otherwise the only over-the-air radio stations available to me except one are not anything I’d listen to in a milion years - they are all either Country, in Spanish, or Evangelical. I listen to half a dozen stations on Sirius and that’s fine for me. Still need to find a local news station, but there really isn’t one.

I’m not into talk shows at all, either radio or TV, and want to hear local news over national.
