In Reply to: I have posted a poll about radio's influence on yr buying and attending habits posted by Timbo in Oz on April 28, 2007 at 00:01:35:
is if I catch an advertisement for someone I really want to see, and even then it has to be held at one of a handful of venues. The older I get, there are less acceptable venues it seems.For the longest time, the only functional radio I had was in the car. Satellite radio did much to fix that, and with XM in the house and Sirius in the car, it has influenced my buying decisions. XM Cafe, Sirius Disorder and a few other stations have greatly expanded my listening horizons and musical interests.
Prior to that, the only way I had to learn about new music was word of mouth, posts in Audio Asylum or a writeup in the LA Times.
The major LA rock station -- KLOS -- has recently gone HD and they have managed to overhaul the way they play music to the point where, in my car, at least, they are starting to give satellite some serious competition. Satellite's saving grace is the absence of commercials, though. That is a big saving grace.
At home, satellite radio is used for background listening only, never any serious listening. Unless I am not home. Mrs. bwk is a big fan of some 90's grunge, and she'll tune that stuff in and blast away until the walls breathe. Unfortunately for her, I am "allergic" to that genre. ;~)
But as I have mentioned before, I am perhaps the worst possible candidate to participate in any radio-oriented poll. Technically, you have to be able to receive broadcasts to know much about them.
