I think satellite radio, IPods, etc are making FM music stations obsolete. Now you can basically choose the music you want to hear, why put up with all that other crap.

Bingo, and thank for sat radio and I pods. What an advancement for commercial free listening.
Because even with an extensive music collection, and I have a halfway decent one, there are still songs that you hear that you don't have the CD for that you have forgotten about that plainly blow you away just like the first time you heard it.
There is absolutely still a market for radio. The best stations play an eclectic mix, not all oldies or 80's/90's or current hip hop or rock or country.
I have purchased many, many CD's for songs I love. You play it over and over. That's great because you can hear it whenever you want. But, what tends to happen is that song gets worn out fast that way. There is something to be said for the sheer joy of hitting the tuner button and just finding it there. It's like someone wrapped your radio in a ribbon and gave it to you as a present for three and a half minutes.
