Yes, I listen to the radio almost everyday. I listen to NPR for my news, the classical station to relax, the classic rock station when I'm cleaning the house, and the college radio station when I want to hear weird music that I've never heard before. Not many ads or annoying DJs on any of those...

Rarely, though I stream several radio stations of the Internet, namely WFMU ( Freeform radio from the NYC area) as well as WMBR .(MIT's College station) Commercial radio sucks bigtime and I never bother to listen to it.

The only radio that I bother to listen to is either college radio or NPR.

I stopped listening to music on the radio in 1982. I switched over to news and talk radio, when I lived in the most major market area of Canada and had lots of choice. Eleven years ago, I moved 1500 miles south. Where I live, there's nothing on AM but atmospheric noise and signal skip, and FM is hip-hop, country, headbangers, god, and NPR. I have a very, very large record collection, and that's what I listen to. When I'm at home, I do not listen to the radio. When I'm at work, I try not to listen to the radio. You may find that a bit odd, since I am an announcer on the NPR station and spend eight hours a day there!
