There are not enough radio stations. Which is why some
people can't find anything worth listening to, and complain
"Today's radio is all crap".

Utter ********. A thousand stations of crap is still crap. It is the
dilution of funds by excessive quantity that prevents radio stations
putting together a competent programme list, which takes money
Fewer, better funded radio stations are the way to quality.




Is "quality" playing old Big Band music, Jazz, and Classical?

Personally I'd call that, not crap, but definitely "boring". I like
those genres, but I also like Pop, Rock, and Hip-hop on top of that.
I like variety. Most people my age like variety, sampling a little of
everything.



I'd rather see lots and lots and lots of channels, and then let
Darwinian Survival of the Fittest happen..... good channels survive,
and bad channels starve & die. I prefer the invisible hand of the
market, rather than the dictatorial control of someone saying, "Let's
revoke some stations' licenses," because they think there are too many
of them.
