I can pick up the local NBC affiliate on the low end of my radio dial. I have been known to listen occasionally. It's doesn't work so well with sitcoms, but it's great for the news and documentaries.

I'm doing it right now. I almost always turn on ESPN or ESPN2 and listen to the analysis while doing stuff online. Mike and Mike and First Take are usually the best.

I have Music Choice, so if I'm soldering or repairing guitars/gear, I put it on the Metal channel and do my work. Coolest part, I can turn on my reciever and cable box, and leave the TV off. If something strikes my fancy, I can turn on the TV and see who the band is.

Guess I never thought about it.

I don't listen to the radio much at all.

I listen to it constantly. I'll put it on when I'm doing mundane things around the pad...usually on the news. That or cspan. Cspan is great.
As for radio; I"m an NPR junkie. Alarm clock is set on NPR. Also, I always listen to NPR in the car...that or Hatebreed.

Nope. I'm usually listening to Sirius when I'm on the computer (Howard Stern).

If I want the TV on I usually watch it.

Sometimes XM gets put on the bigscreen while "chores" are being done.

lol

I'm sure Howard Stern is half the reason why people got Sirius radio. Sirius was really capitalizing on that as their sales pitch, a year or two previous.
