As for local radio, NO. Internet Radio however we have our own station I dj at, which is usually what we have on. Sometimes when modelling out stuff I will pop in a Manson cd, for some reason I can really model to a paticular album by him, Mechanical Animals. News... hard to tell since most of it is opinionated brainwashing. But it is a wide internet and usually something decent shows up now and then. But few and far between. Canned the cable so tv is not an option for news or weather. Do however keep a look upon weather channel online, and have a weather radio.

So to answer your question in my form, I don't particularly have time for modern stations since they don't play anything remotely to my tastes. However, a radio station which did, but I am not living near anymore I wouldn't miss the shows if I could listen to them. But you take that out of the equation I would ratther watch paint dry. I did like morning shows, Lex And Terry outta Tampa was fun. Howard Stern sometimes if I was in mood for it.
