The i-pod advise goes nowhere with me.... I want satisfying music, and I want it to come from the radio --other than "hit" music, and, DJ "personalities" to entertain me.

Sigh... ::)

Look, you have a 100% chance of getting exactly what you want, with an I-pod and a 0% chance from a terrestrial station. There is nothing on the dial in this market that gives me what I want, either. But rather than whine and complain, I setup my own music delivery system with a simple computer and an audio file server. With this approach, I get exactly what I want 100% of the time.

Stop dissing something you have apparently never tried before, because that just makes you look selfish and lazy. Heck, my parents are 60+ and even they have I-pods!

I've known about getting "just what I want" since the days of cassette recorders in the early 1970's. When I wanted to upgrade from the stock AM only radio in my '68 Rambler.... I chose the option of a Radio Shack underdash FM/Cassette Radio. Why ? ?
Because of the good FM Rock radio programming available in 1972, and, because I preferred to listen to cassette tapes, that I had customized.

But the point is.... my listening was never either all radio, or all cassette.

The same is true today... It is not all CDs/CDR's for me, or all radio.

I post on these boards, because I LOVE the medium of -- radio.

But when the format devovles into --nothing-- but hit radio, I have a right to complain. I experienced FM radio when it was something -- other than just hit radio. That was wonderful !! I cannot forget it!!! And, hard-nosed as it is, an uphill battle as it may be....I press on for the non-hit rock music to once again have a 24/7 home somewhere on the terrestrial radio dial.
 
Good luck with that, but I wouldn't count on it. Here's a better idea... Complain directly to the owners. Very litte, if anything, ever happsns as a result of what gets written on these boards. Otherwise, the brick wall is still there.
