That's what I came here to say. Here in Commy Canada our biggest media conglomerate Bell Media just sold off 45 radio stations. They see the way the wind is blowing.

The only time I ever here radio is if I forget my phone and get into my car.

Even most stores won't play that crap. At our local mall I asked why ( I was curious about what they were playing and the conversation led to bad mouthing radio.) and I was told they don't want customers hearing ads for the competition. The store owner flat out said the only ones who could afford ads were Walmart, Canadian Tire and the likes (Big box stores) and they were on the radio non stop. So instead he subscribed to a commercial free music service for small businesses. In short he was willing to pay so not to have to hear radio.
