So because we are living in the 21st Century does anyone actually tune into the radio stations anymore  or do they just listen to music via Spotify or YouTube  |

Loads! But only really BBC.
Radio 6 for music when I most need it - especially Cerys on a Sunday, 4/3 for comedy and documentaries. There’s tonnes of good stuff if you’re willing to dig. |

i far prefer radio broadcasts to internet streaming. i don't bother with shock jocks, mark & lard/steve wright style nonsense or talk radio. i'm more interested in mucsical content such as knowing tune, artist, label etc so i can go out and purchase the vinyl from my local independent store. i suspect i am in the minority though, which is fine. |

Mainly 4 and 4 extra, with a bit of 2 and Solent.
Don’t have a telly.
The only mediums I listen to music on are the wireless, vinyl and cd. Occasionally YouTube if someone has recommended something.
I actually listen to far more stuff that isn’t music, like plays and dramatisations, along with news and current affairs. |

L.B.C Radio ...... The best. A must.
Talk Radio , great interviews, phone ins NO music. Great station for keeping up to date and in the main , unbiased.
Radio 6 for Craig Charles Funk .......
Very little else.
Mostly podcasts. I used to listen to Radio 4 but was selective. |

I listen to the radio every day and I also use Spotify everyday too.
I find that radio still introduces new music to me whereas with Spotify I seem to listen to old stuff through several play lists that I have. It’s good to hear new stuff. |

It’s only available on D A B radios.
Mainly archive recordings from the past, although some aren’t that old.
A lot of Hancock, Round the Horn , Goons, that sort of thing, plus dramas and Just a Minute, Clue and Desert Island Discs.
Last night, for example, there was an old Desert Island Discs , A comedy drama and the final episode in a dramatisation of a Dick Francis novel. |

Replied to my 'Do you now need a TV Licence ?' letter yesterday.
I tried to do it online but that requires for you to provide an email address, a telephone number and the date that you think you might start watching television in the future.
So, I withheld my mobile number and called the number on the letter. Thankfully it was a completed automated process and I didn't have to explain why I don't television.
I do listen to the BBC (mostly Radio 4) at home and in the car but, like providing contact details, I'm never going to download their BBC Sounds app, take up the offer of a 50% discount on watching repeats in a different way on 'BritBox' (that seems to be the sidebar advert of the moment) or go anywhere near the BBC internet player.

I listen to the radio a lot more than watch TV. I swap stations a lot. Radio 2 used to be my favourite but it's gone massively down hill in the last couple of years.
Jo Whiley is my favourite, plus Radcliffe and Maconie on Radio 6.
Virgin radio, sometimes
Road 4 and 5
Times radio
Local radio

Radio x most weekdays.
Occasionally tune into magic radio as I find Ronan keating amusing, kisstory, Union Jack, smooth extra and occasionally capital extra.
I listen to a hell of a lot of radio. |

Yep. I listen more to the radio than I do music.
LBC and in particular the James O'Brian show is the best radio by far .
If you haven't tried him before, I thoroughly recommend it to anyone. Weekly between the hours of 10:00-13:00 |

For me, it's BBCR4 Extra early weekday mornings till 0930, then Ken Bruce on R2 till Midday. For the rest of weekdays it's a mix of Scala or Classic FM.
Saturdays is usually R4Extra in mornings, Scala in afternoons, then Kiss in evenings
Sundays - mix of ClassicFM, Scala & R4Extra till 2pm, where I tune into BBCR3 till 3pm then it's TV for rest of the day. |

8hrs a day, 5 1/2 days a week for me, everything gets boring eventually so I sometimes use a world map & tunein app & listen to all sorts of stuff.
Many stations around the world though are shockingly dire.

I don't listen to too much radio, as it's like a busman's holiday for me. I try to catch popmaster when I can, and sometimes listen to the radio in the car, but having clocked up over 3,500 hours behind the microphone I spend quite a lot of my time in silence. |

I used to listen to Radio 1xtra alot at work. Then LBC and Talksport/TalkRadio.
I used to listen to Talksport/LBC every night to sleep to from about the age of 8. Now I tend to just listen to podcasts or something on youtube to sleep. |

I do. Love pop master and Jeremy Vine on radio 2 and usually flick around for decent music when driving. |

I listen to the radio every day on my drive to and from work. Mostly because it occasionally introduces me to new music that I might not come across another way. I hate the chat though, I switch channels lol |

Sometimes yeah.
It's good to be reminded of music you wouldn't normally listen to, mainly because you'd forgotten about it.
I proper love it when a song comes on and my inner memory starts blasting it out.
I'm all "oh my god yaaay, I forgot all about this AND I remember the words!" |

My shazzam is full of song that I'd completely forgotten existed, all thanks to the wireless.

Please..... James is a whiner. Though I do listen to all of his podcasts for the guest. He's a nice liberal guy but whiney. For meat it's Nick Ferrari but for humanity and intelligence with a level headed approach to life it has to be Maajid Narwaz.... sexy as fuck too ..... and yes I would. |
