JAX radio

[apvbguy]

Is it just me but does anyone else think that the offerings on the radio in JAX suck? my take of the fm dial,
plenty of "AOR" 30+ year old music that was ok then and is pretty tired now
a top 40 station that appears to have only 10 recordings at a time
an urban (hip hop/rap) station
a few country stations
plenty of christian stations
the local PBS station runs all of the over produced slanted offerings but little else.
No Jazz, no classical, a half assed progressive station.
fortunately I have sirius in my car, xm in the house but when I am in my wife's car listening to the local radio it is nothing short of torture.
can anyone offer any insights?

I agree... the jacksonville radio scene is the pits... especially in the progressive area.

Is the wife not allowed to have Sirius or XM? 
I havent even tried to listen to local radio in over a year. Between XM, CDs and MP3s I can do without..  I cant wait until internet radio is available in the car.

It wasn't available when she got the car and she has no interest in it, the ipods are great and I have tons of stuff on mine but I still would like to hear stuff I don't have, then there is weather, news and stuff that satellite, ipods, mp3s just don't have.
Too bad JAX can't support a jazz, classical station and interesting rock/progressive station, I hate to sound like a music snob but what is on the air here is just noise pollution.

I've gotten to the point where I listen to sports talk radio or my own CDs.

I agree and generally just listen to cds

I'd be lost without a collection of New Age CD's and some classic 60's-70's Rock. I WOULD listen to a quality modern Jazz Station such as KLON in Long Beach, CA.. I would NOT listen to the so-called smooth Jazz which is mostly a buzz word for soft rock and bad vocals. A REAL CLASSIC rock station without the 80-90's in it would be nice - Vangelis, B-Tribe, 2002, Ranga, Medwin Goodall, Peter kater, Bruce BecVar, David Arkenstone, Jon Anderson, I'd love to hear all of you! On a more local note, Freebird Anyone?
