Super User Catch and Grease Posted September 4, 2015 Super User Posted September 4, 2015 The ONLY modern rock radio station in my area has now converted to a rap station... This really sucks, now there are just classic rock and country stations for me to listen to... It came out of nowhere too, I guess you have to please the majority even though there is already 50 rap stations. Quote

Super User Senko lover Posted September 4, 2015 Super User Posted September 4, 2015 Yeah I use Pandora. 1 Quote
Super User WIGuide Posted September 4, 2015 Super User Posted September 4, 2015 Same thing happened around here probably 6 or 7 years ago. The station was 99.9 The Carp and they'd always do these funny skits during commercial breaks. Well I turned it on one day in the middle of summer and there was Christmas music playing figured it was a skit so I changed it to a different station and flipped it back about 5 minutes later and still Christmas music. Monday morning BOB FM was born, a computer run mix station that there's already a bunch of around here. There was an uproar in the Chippewa Valley. There were talks of people boycotting any business that advertised on that station. It took a while but they finally transitioned one of their classic rock stations into more modern rock, but the Carp is still missed. I feel your pain man! 1 Quote
cbass12 Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 I like the red dirt kind of country, only time I get to listen to it on the radio is on sunday nights for 2 hours on one of our local stations. Other than that you NEVER hear any of it on the radio. Thank god I have a 6 disc cd changer, and its full of the good stuff!! 1 Quote
jbw252 Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 Or Pandora....I hate regular radio stations all it is is commercials and idiot DJ's trying to act like they are all cool... Ditto. Or fill your iPod with stuff you like & get away from the crappy commercialized airwaves. 1 Quote
Super User J Francho Posted September 4, 2015 Super User Posted September 4, 2015 Time for Serius/XM dude. XMU, Alt Nation, Bone Yard, Real Jazz… no commercials. Quote
Super User BrianinMD Posted September 4, 2015 Super User Posted September 4, 2015 Ditto. Or fill your iPod with stuff you like & get away from the crappy commercialized airwaves. I have the music I want to listen to on a USB drive, have a few hours to listen to. Quote
Super User bigbill Posted September 4, 2015 Super User Posted September 4, 2015 I just received a report from Pandora that I listened to 53.4k songs since 2013. I listen to all types of music. Pandora is free with a Kindle. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted September 4, 2015 Super User Posted September 4, 2015 The data is never free. Quote
Super User Catch and Grease Posted September 4, 2015 Author Super User Posted September 4, 2015 Lol I already use Pandora ALOT but I still like listening to the radio in the car... Quote
Steveo-1969 Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 That's a bummer man. I didn't think Sirius/XM was worth paying for when I DIDN'T have it. Now I can't imagine riding in a car without it. Might be time to upgrade. 1 Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted September 4, 2015 Super User Posted September 4, 2015 iheartradio, or Pandora. I hardly ever have the radio on in the car anymore. Quote
Fisher-O-men Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 Country is not even country any more. Florida Georgia Line is all about this Country Rap or C-rap for short. I could shorten it even more! 2 Quote

Super User deaknh03 Posted September 6, 2015 Super User Posted September 6, 2015 Do people still listen to the radio? Only when their 8 track player breaks. 2 Quote
Super User slonezp Posted September 6, 2015 Super User Posted September 6, 2015 Only when their 8 track player breaks. I'd bet 80% of the people on this site have no clue what an 8 track player is 3 Quote
Super User deaknh03 Posted September 6, 2015 Super User Posted September 6, 2015 I'd bet 80% of the people on this site have no clue what an 8 track player is And I bet the 20% who do still have a foghat tape. 5 Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted September 6, 2015 Super User Posted September 6, 2015 And I bet the 20% who do still have a foghat tape. Slow ride... Yes I remember that sux arse format 4 channel crap, wasn't that developed by Leer? Quote
Joe H. Posted September 6, 2015 Posted September 6, 2015 Pandora, Spotify, iheartradio, there's plenty of good options. Spotify is my personal favorite because for $10 a month you can download any song and listen to it whenever you want, no ads. Quote
