The high school the next town over has the best music in the whole city. Unfortunately I live right on the edge of the broadcast range so it cuts out at home.
I had read this in another thread, but radio was one of the first (if not first) media form to be entshittified. Decades before we even had a term for it.
My comment pertains to the USA, but regardless of where you live, there is a very strong likelihood that your local commercial stations are owned by a company like iHeartRadio and much, if not all, of the content is syndicated.
The only exception might be a local nonprofit radio station. You probably have at best one local station in this case, unless you live in a major city broadcast region. Keep in mind I mean one local station that plays music. A local NPR station is probably separate from this. Even most of NPR is syndicated, however.
If you’re lucky, a local college might still have a radio station broadcasting over FM, but so many have moved online since you then don’t need an [expensive and volatile] FCC license.
A lot of posts in here complaining about shitty commercial radio. Do you all not have local radio stations? I love my local stations.
We have a dozen local stations…all owned by clearchanel.

Local radio sucks.
It’s nothing but ads. I’ve tried listening to a couple of them and the music selection is horrendous bracketed by lengthy ads. Bad to worse.
You have shitty local radio. I have an indie station that’s mostly listener supported that plays tons of obscure stuff.
Good for you.
