We in lucky in New Orleans to have three community stations--including WWOZ which is probably the foremost "roots" music station in the country with a local focus--a college station, and an NPR station (along with their nationally programmed classical second channel.) I listen to radio more than I play my lps or cds.
As for tuners, I am thinking of selling my expensive tuners and just keeping the Sanyo and excellent Pioneer TX-9500II.

Certainly it has diminished in recent years, but FM has been a great resource.
My first job after college was in the suburbs of Philadelphia and there I enjoyed programming from Philly, New Jersey, and NYC. That was at the end of the '60s when album oriented rock emerged and many college stations began more adventurous programming. Then I moved to SoCal where the number of FM stations and programing variety seemed endless.
But by the time I left that area last year the wonderful classical station in San Diego was long gone, and the progressive rock stations had become something barely above Muzak. Fortunately the City College station (KSDS) still played mostly jazz that I loved. But the LA stations I listened to either changed programming or developed reception interference problems. There may now be satellite sourced stations but other than my car I'm a bit of a Luddite. FM listening has become minimal.

I grew in Lancaster, PA (60 miles from Philly) in the seventies. My musical education was formed by listening to Philadelphia's free form (or so it seemed, at least) FM station WMMR that I could receive in my upstairs bedroom on my father's old Sherwood tube tuner if I moved the dipole antenna just right.
