Okay, I'll make this a relatively quick one - Jim's post is far more interesting than what I'm about to spew off about.

Long story short: En route to the Poconos for the weekend, my alternator goes, the battery dies, and, about 19 volts (as opposed to the usual 12 volts) of electricity shoot through my car. The fuse on my radio (apparently) goes - electrical smoke and all comes pouring out.

So, $520 later, I have a new alternator, battery, and the radio works... except I can't tune in AM or FM. I think maybe the antenna is disconnected. Funny thing is, I don't seem to miss either. I'd like to listen to KYW so I can hear how the commercials sound (and get traffic & transit on the 2's!) - but, with no disrespect meant to the folks downstairs from me at work, or any other of my fellow professional broadcasters ... I'm not finding myself wanting to turn on the actual radio here in town.

I do subscribe to one of the satellite services, and of course, I've got a bunch of CD's. So, with Y100Rocks.com at home, and those in the car ... what more do I need?
It's sad for me to say that - I was such a radio geek, which is why I got into it in the first place - but I don't miss the radio. I really don't.

Imagine if a few thousand people felt the same way I did... what would happen to radio? Especially considering that I used to be PASSIONATE about radio ... what about the many people who aren't?
Food for thought ... Long live Y100Rocks.Com!
