I listen to terrestrial FM radio 1 day a week in my car when I drive to the big city for my basketball games and groceries. Coincidentally tonight I happen to be watching terrestrial TV because the local ABC affiliate never gave me permission to watch east coast and west coast feeds. on satellite.

BTW they were wrong to not allow me to get the satellite service. Off air TV even digital kinda sucks (unless I put up a mast and big antenna). If I get the rabbit ears just right I can see the heat winning one, but it's their turn tonight. I wouldn't be surprised to see TV and FM bandwidth repurposed for more profitable use, but maybe not in my lifetime.
