I think it's still "common", although I seldom do.

We have Sirius and listen to that mainly but when I use my car I often listen to local NPR station which we don't get with the NPR on Sirium...
We have Pandora and listen to channels over our Internet speakers but more in our FL house than in our Texas one...

Hate talk radio but my husband listens mainly to MSNBC/CNN which is same thing...

For me it is. Usually about 1.5 to 2 hours a day.

Absolutely never. At least when I'm in my Own vehicles (don't own anything that can receive AM/FM outside of the vehicles).

I installed a custom iPod dock in my car back in 2004 when I bought it and haven't looked back. I don't do streaming though, spent too much of my life in areas without cell service and a good portion in areas without even AM radio (except at night). 100% local source, and as much of it in a lossless format as possible (.flac)

It was the talk radio and commercials that finally made me decide I'd rather have nothing than radio.

My wife has serius xm and it's a great option.. As far as local FM goes I might listen to 5-10 min of it a month.

AM died with disco.

I am a radio host, but I never listen to the radio. I enjoy playing new music and off the wall alternative stuff that no one else does. I get a rise out of it. But, when I'm home I listen to the cds I like and never turn on the radio.

I have a few great FM and AM radio stations in my area, and I enjoy them very much. In fact, I'm looking into a hi-fi system and insist on an AM/FM tuner. I have a tabletop radio that I enjoy, but I want to listen through proper stereo speakers.

For me, yes - I've been a radio guy my entire life. Still listen 2 hours a day or more at the office. Thank the lord for internet radio!

I have Sirius in my car and listen to XMU, sometimes I listen to late night talk radio on AM, if I am cutting my grass I use a headset to listen to the classic rock station that is way too repetitive.
