I don't think FM is safe in the longer term either, though I do tend to listen to a handful of stations. The car I drive doesn't have Bluetooth connectivity but I do plan to get an adaptor that will let me listen to music playlists via my phone. When that happens, I'll probably drop off as an FM listener except for short trips when I won't bother with choosing my own music.

We're in an interesting time for "traditional" media.
I was really angry when TSN Hamilton went off the air.

Maybe I'm the dinosaur, but I like radio vs my own bluetooth for a few reasons. You alluded to not being bothered to choose something on a shorti trip. I like the radio for hearing new things that I wouldn't have found, but also really like morning shows, games and trivia, local news, traffic etc all coming to me passively.

Ads are annoying but I just cycle through a few stations and that problem's solved.
