Maybe "Never" was too strong of a word. But all of the teens and twenty-somethings I know around here never do listen to a radio. They stream everything and I mean everything. They listen to their music on Ipod's, cel phones, or their computers. Most of the ones I know closely do not even own a radio, unless it is a radio in the car and even in those cases, they Bluetooth everything. Even me at 67, except for DXing, I now stream about everything as I have access to crystal clear local sounding radio from around the World. Sure, I can log 2GB in Sydney NSW, but streaming I can listen to it 24/7 with no static or fading. It sounds like I am living in Sydney. DXing will always be a love of mine, but for pure listening the internet has opened a door that years ago I could not even imagined. Now with the Roku, I can do the same with TV. More and more of it is becoming available.
