The reason I hardly use it now is FM RADIO POSITIVELY SUCKS THESE DAYS.
The signals are all over-modulated and the rap-crap, hip hop, loud lousy so called musical program material is absolutely unlistenable.

I can definitely understand that. There's one Clear Channel station I listen to here and that is only because Dick Biondi is on it at night. The rest of my listening is on the public radio band. Years ago when I was in California all the time I found a channel that was almost exclusively surf music in that public band. We briefly had an AM oldies station in Chicago a few years back that I'd tune into. When I travel the barren Midwest for work, I rarely find any FM worth tuning into.
