Possibly controversial opinion, but radio stopped being relevant to me personally when congress removed the ownership restrictions for a single market. It's only gotten worse from there IMO. Radio is about catering to a very specific, and generally older, market at least where I am.

Not controversial, not even within the DJ community.

Agreed. That was the beginning of the end of good radio.

The local college station was still pretty fantastic until COVID hit. They shut the studio down during that time and most of the good DJs left. It never recovered.
