We all have our preferences, but when driving in the car, what format do you tend to listen to? Naturally, some people may not have all these options available to them in their area of residence, but what WOULD you listen to if you could? (CDs and MP3 players are excluded from this poll. Its strictly a radio thing.)

sports talk. the main problem with music on radio is that they play unless is a rewuest time, what record companies pay for them to play. which sadly hardly ever is my fave's. so I listen to my faves on cd or listen to talk or sports

I could not help but respond to the post that I copied and pasted below. Radio stations don't get paid to play music. In fact, radio stations pay for the CDs and pay SESAC, BMI, and ASCAP for the rights to play music on the air. Many stations say their second largest expense, second only to payroll, is music rights. The music belongs to the artists and musicians and they are entitled to this money, but please understand that record companies pay radio stations nothing. quote: TQ_Fan_4_Life sports talk. the main problem with music on radio is that they play unless is a rewuest time, what record companies pay for them to play. which sadly hardly ever is my fave's. so I listen to my faves on cd or listen to talk or sports

If a record label pays a station to play their music, that is declared "payola" and is a violation of federal law. We haven't had news/talk radio in five years in this market since the new station owners took away news, talk, weather, and sports in favour of rock music from dead dopers or r&b. It irritates me when I can't get Sean Hannity or Rush Limbaugh, but I can hear some of the most talentless "artists" on the air.
