No need for a car radio
According to the entering college class of 2016 there is no need for a radio in cars.
Having been brought up holding a transistor radio to my ear it's hard to swallow that radio is considered obsolete by our youth. I still remember when FM was something few ever listened to and every one had a radio. Is radio dead? |

Radio is dead.
Completely. Dead. Let it go finish burying itself.

They are too busy texting while driving to tune in a station. Radio isn't what it used to be, but I don't think it's dead yet. Remember they said vinyl was dead too. Of course they were write about 8 tracks, so who knows.

I would think many people still listen to the radio while driving in the car. There are a lot of people who don't care to pay for satellite radio. My wife, son, & daughter all listen to their car radio's. I listen to Sirius.

But really, I still listen to the radio, so until the radio station shuts down... that college class can serve a warning to me and that's that. |

Internet radio has replaced FM for me at home.
Never much listened to the radio in my car and, although my new one has a hard drive, SDHC and USB, I stopped using them after I experimented to see what I could do. I prefer to drive. |
