It's my alarm and I listen to it for a few minutes before I get up and sometimes when I'm having breakfast if something interesting is on. I also listen to it in my car when my CD player is being a *****.

Used to listen to Fox FM (a county radio station) when I was a kid (from like 8-11 years old)), and last year I listened to Radio 1 a lot (Zane Lowe and Colin Murray), but it's only occasionally now because of my vast music collection and music channels on Sky.

Only in car, and I usually change every second or third song because it sucks. Sometimes there are those old rock hits I like...

But unfortunately, I have to drive on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays with my father, so I HAVE to listen to the radio...

No

My cell phone recently became my alarm clock. I play my Ipod over my radio when I drive.

Also my favorite Omaha morning radio duo have started doing podcasts, so I download those. They have 7-8 minute commercial breaks at the top and bottom of every hour. 50% of my commute used to be commercials. It was ridiculous. I know that's how business works, but with my morning schedule I was unable to listen to them.

I listen to the radio a lot, certainly more than I watch TV and probably more than I play games.

Radio in the UK seems to be (slowly but noticeably) increasing in popularity at the moment. It's definately being helped by the internet and the increased choice of stations/content that's available.
I can have the Radio 1 Punk show on in the mornings instead of Chris Moyles, you have no idea how much of a Godsend that is.

The quality (or lack) of TV can't hurt either, beside Top Gear and sports I can't think of anything worth watching at the moment.

radio is more popular than TV.

I'm locked on to Select right now, a pirate radio station, I listen to the radio all day everyday. TV and games come second to me.

The rock station that I used to listen to all the time changed ownership and now blows as a result. I just got a new CD player installed in my car, so I always toss on a disc when I drive anywhere. I'd like to get an MP3 player sometime.

I wake up to my alarm clock on easy rock, but otherwise, no. I have an iPod for that. And the commercials are *SOOO* annoying.

Never liked it to begin with, although I did listen to it while in the car. Now that I have an adapter for my iPod, though, no more greatest pop songs of the '80s for me.

Online radio. A station called Classic FM [http://classicfm.nl/], it's good music and the only advertisement I know of is when I start the web player.

I don't listen to radio. Unless you count Pandora when I need new bands to listen to.
