of course there is. the local NPR affiliate does a BBC feed from 10p-6a, there's a college indie station that's really good, another very highly regarded jazz station, etc.

i mean no it's not 19 diverse and interesting independent stations on the dial like it was back in the day but it's not quite dead yet. you just gotta really favor the public/indie band at 88-92 MHz

i listen to the radio like 3 hours a day probably

It's necessary as it takes a higher frequency level to contain the frenetic energy of Big Bobby and The Gooch and their wacky hijinks

Ira Glass, having so little energy as to be nearly indistinguishable from a corpse, is far better suited to lower frequencies

Also, somebody once told me...

It's not a hard rule any more. 102.3 is the indie FM station in Denver. They just generally chose to allocate low for nonprofits/jesus stations. "gentleman's agreement" as we'd say in ham radio

One thing that would affect it is that 'sporadic E' propagation allows stations to interfere with others hundreds of miles away, and the highest frequency at which it works varies on how 'intense' the band opening is. so if you have a commercial station, it has a higher chance of loving with another commercial station if they're both on 88.9 MHz vs 107.1 MHz. hence you put the public stations low because you won't get advertisers whining that their market got trashed for an afternoon

radio still big over here. we listen to radio all day at work

not indie though. mainstream garbage. maybe some indie stuff around who knows

whatever is on radio has to be ok for everyone in the dispensary

I usually try to get it on the station that plays pantera and rage against the machine

yeah north of the border the CBC and community radio stations take up most of the airwaves lower than about 93.1. 88.x and 89.x are mostly CBC anywhere you go so if you want public radio you just tune to the bottom of the FM range and work your way up until you get suitable audio quality

the lower end of the band is absolutely a nightmare up here though. a lot of smaller towns have like 10-50 watt rebroadcasters of big city radio stations below 100 MHz and they're just all over the place. you'll be driving through the middle of nowhere and suddenly your radio will be picking up three different stations on one frequency

That's true, but the problem is the opportunity cost. That you could've been doing something else, more rewarding, instead. I spent most of the lockdown screwing around with electronics, programming, designing pcbs, etc. It was interesting and rewarding when poo poo actually worked but... in the end I just have a few useless gadgets. I could've instead studies something actually related to my job and helped advance my career instead, or exercised, or read some books, or all of the above, etc.
