I have to ask - isn't FM music radio becoming increasingly irrelevant? Between MP3s, internet sites like Spotify and Pandora, and all the free music videos on You Tube - why would I want to be subjected to anybody else's playlist? I can build my own in just a few minutes on Spotify.
I may be in the minority, but the thing that made radio special were the personalities (DJs), but now they're so limited in how often they can open the mic - and generally just voice-track a few trivial comments or show-bizzy gossip tidbits that are barely connected to the music. That may be what listeners want in general, but not me.
I agree 100%.... I think FM radio is dying, especially music stations. Even on the AM dial, I rarely actually listen to any stations. If I do, I'll steam them through an app in my car.
