No No I don't think so, Free radio doesn't use minutes on the phone blue tooth to car, I like Iheart, and if you like Casey Kasum, Mix 107.7 WMMX will have a classic show from April 23 1983 at 3AM this morning , and if you cant stay up JACK-FM 102.7 Baltimore has it at 5PM on Sunday, anyways FM radio will always will be around and AM too, you need both, without the broadcast radio there's no IHeart, or Radio.com (CBS) makes sense I hope!!!
I worked in radio for a long time and I truly love FM BUT the "free radio uses minutes or data arguement" doesn't hold up nowadays. Most companies offer unlimited data these days and even without an unlimited plan, a 64Kbps data stream streaming 24 hours a day (if left streaming) uses 1GB per day.
