If you followed the trend, you would have noticed that big consortiums are gobling up flegling stations all over America and replacing them with top 40-100 predigested music. It's real sad. Radio has become a driving companion commodity.
To me it's a presence in the shop since I'm alone all day. There are good intelligent cultural eye opening programs still available on Radio Canada, and a couple Jazz programs too. If something ever happened to them it would surely signal the end of radio.
I know that some towns in the central States are dying and the first symtoms were always local radio being gobbled up and automatized.
