There used to be good stations, with hosts choosing the music they want to play and having a good taste – even better if it’s different from mine so I can hear something new.
I have this one station I like to listen to that plays a variety of stuff from local artists and the like. Very few ads too, though they occasionally go into “soliciting for memberships” mode now and then.
