Nowdays, we have tv, computer, mp3 and so on. And I have all of this things but still I like listen to the radio.
I turn on the radio every morning when I brush my tooth,
I turn on the radio when I could no fall sleep at night,
I turn on the radio when I wash clothes
I turn on the radio whenever I like

Well, when I was in college, I listen to radio everyday. I am an english major then. So I need to listen to the VOA or BBC to practice my english. For now, I have no time to listen to it. Most of the audio materials I listen now are from the computer. I use my laptop to do such things. I also watch tv series via computer. So I think radio may be forgotten by us at last.

Yes, I do. I prefer listening to radio rather than watching the television. Yeah, even at night or even while I am sleeping, the radio is still turned on. I just got used to it I guess.

We listen to radio almost everyday.
Here at our office we always listen to the radio from Monday till Friday from 830am until 530pm.
At our house we usually , or my mother-in-law usually listen to her favorite station every morning of saturday & sunday. She likes old songs.

Interesting question, I have been slack when comes to listening to the radio these days. The only time I listen to the radio is when I'm in the car and tired of listening to my ipod or if I'm in lab at school listening to the free radio on the internet. (I do not know if that counts as a radio.) I have mainly been spoiled by my ipod although, I miss listening to radio now that I think about it. I used to do it so much more before I entered into college. I remember my favorite part of the day would be to listen to "the quiet storm" on the radio. I used to love the slow jams and would just fall asleep with no worries at all. LOL..the memories!

I never listen to the radio because I don't like to listen to mainstream music and bands. They're just not as talented as the some of the underground bands. Once you get a big record deal that puts you on tv and radio is you now have everyone else to do everything for you. Then it's not about entertaining for them anymore. It's about the money they make so as long as they play their shows they get paid. Doesn't matter if they do well.
Also, the lyrics of mainstream music, I find, are usually so empty and meaningless.

Depending on the situation, I still use the radio for my music. Music has to be all through the house.

I listen to the rado onc in a while when I am driving down the road, but most of the time, I am enjoying the peace and quiet and am lost in my own thoughts. I am the type of person who listens to the radio when the mood strikes me, and it isn't that often anymore. As a matter of fact, if I am trying to work, I prefe not to have music on at all.

Yes But recently it is reduced a little bit.
When I used to go to job I used to listen it daily during my one hour journey.
And sometimes even when I am bored.
But now I am always listening music on my Computer.
And mostly busy in learning something or earning something from Internet.

Yeah, I listen to the radio. Honestly.. I don't think there are many people that don't listen to the radio. I mostly listen to the radio while in the car. I used to listen to the radio about all day, but I don't anymore. I don't know why. The radio is good, but sometimes the repeated song abuse can cause one to not want to listen anymore. If a song is good.. You can play it a few times. But they abuse it. Well, most do anyway. It's like "Hey! A new song! LETS PLAY IT ALL DAY AND NIGHT FOR THE NEXT MONTH! YEAH!"
So yeah, I don't listen to the radio as much as I used to. Usually I would hear about 15 songs, all day, Because they were just repeated so much.

I feel like the radio is being downsized because of the increase in the use of television and computers. I myself continuously listen to the radio. Its seems to me that on the radio the discussions are more "real"than on television. On the radio, the anchors really get to voice their opinion and it is really no holding back. Also sports on the radio seem to be more interesting because of the enthusiasm of the sportscasters.
In conclusion, I feel that the radio needs to be used more and could teach us a little.
