91%??? Huh???

I call bullshit on radio’s breadth.

Maybe if you include podcast and Internet streams, am and FM, and there’s barely talk radio on FM stations.

What is the duration of listening to the radio?

I haven’t actively listened to the radio in over a decade, that’s even despite by truck only having radio input (I have a portable Bluetooth device I listen to in the vehicle).

Hell 8 years ago I had a job that was 95% on the road and I didn’t listen to the damn radio. All it is is the same 20 songs whatever the station was oriented to, and advertisements 25% of the time.
