QUESTION: Do you listen to terrestrial radio (AM/FM), or do you listen to satellite radio?
Talk about it….

Only KCBS ….rest of it is terrible imho
No idea how sat radio is still around as they have never turned a profit, have horrendous customer service, and utilize outdated equipment outside of vehicle radios. The only folks who could potentially find the service preferable to streaming are those with spotty cell coverage, or long-haul truckers.
Satellite
Haven’t listened to terrestrial for over 5 years. TOO Many commercials.
Satellite 95% of the time. Lots of music, news and opinion content. Love the variety at my fingertips.
I would listen to KCBS News Radio a bit more, but they play the Kars4Kids obnoxious jingle ads too often.
I occasionally listen to my 40 yr old clock radio at night. It’s getting harder and harder to find a station that isn’t “sports”~ “foreign language”~ “religion.” Maybe it’s the dial slipping…maybe what I used to like is just g-o-n-e?
Yes I miss the old talk shows and the great old dramas and comedies. I’ve never heard the term terrestrial radio. I’m assuming your speaking of the good old am?
Too cheap tp pay for Satellite Radio…. I do old school FM and internet….
Nothing againist Satellite. Nice to avoid the commercials…
Crackling static or crystal clear sound? ……… tough choice!
I only listen to KCBS for the traffic updates when I’m driving anywhere out of Diablo Valley. KCBS is so repetitive that if you listen for more than 20 minutes everything repeats. Traffic is the only thing that is actually timely, and even that is getting less and less reliable.
On my kitchen radio I listen to my computer streaming content. That’s about as “terrestrial” as I get but then probably many others here do same. I have a small FM transmitter broadcasts the audio off the computer.
Mostly streaming and satellite. I even listen to KCBS streaming as well as WINS, WBBM and KNX for other news that isn’t as repetitive as KCBS. In the car, it’s satellite as the FM stations receivable in the Diablo Valley don’t meet my tastes.
I stream KDFC on the computer at work…Mozart in the Morning at 9 is always a treat. Can’t do commercial radio…or television, which I haven’t had in about 5 years. Pandora is okay for a while, but gets repetitive. even on shuffle.
Got a box full of CDs from ABBA to Zeppelin to choose from.
KCBS is the go-to for emergencies.
I listen to A&G and Levin via KSTE (app or radio), otherwise just the tunes on my iPhone. Wouldn’t know anything on satellite radio. Wouldn’t pay for it either.
KCBS mostly when driving and stream Pandora when home.
AM in the car, KSFO mostly, KCBS for traffic and sports. Mark Levin on KSFO from 3-6PM is the best. I also listen to music in the car sometimes on my CD changer (yes all of my cars are old enough to have one): classic rock, blues and jazz. I agree that Kars4Kids is the most obnoxious ad on radio and TV.
