I don't have a problem with radio in the afternoons, or during my twice a week trips into the big city. I can flip between the country, soft rock, hard rock, and oldies stations, and usually find something I like. I hate, hate, hate morning drive time, because every flaming station has the same inane show, the A and B show. Of the six presets I have, three of them are local shows called "A and B in the morning" as if we wouldn't be able to figure out that it's the morning. And they're all the same, lame comedy, trvia contests, stories about their personal lives, traffic updates with the highway patrol, and the weather report and maybe two or three songs in the forty minutes it takes me to drive to work. The other two aren't local shows; they're syndicated A and B shows, the Bob and Tom show and the Jamie and Danny show, and are exactly the same as the local ones, but "edgy".
There's a station in the big city that I absolutely love. The format is a mixture of soft rock, mainstream rock, pop, crossover country, you name it they'll play it. The best part is that there are no DJ's; just music, commercials, and station id's. I love it.
