Radio? Is there still such a thing as radio? Ha! Just kidding. I listen to the radio almost every day when driving in my car or truck. Like you, when at home, I prefer long stretches of silence. I sometimes watch sports on TV, but seldom watch anything else except the news.

Fair comment. I find a car stereo a bonus, to play whenever I'm driving. I like TV sports, but not, so far with my new TV, the news. It could happen later. Regards, Michael.

(2) Newspaper is still the main source of information and/or of analyses of issues- social, economic, political, scientific and literary etc. You have presented a balanced picture of what media has done or what it is capable of doing. Thanks, Dear Friend.

Thanks Rajnish.It's hard to say whether newspapers or television are the main source of information today. They both matter.

You have taken an objective view of newspapers, radio and television collectively known as 'media' today. TV News channels have become chaotic since there is no other way to keep themselves busy 24 hours a day. FM Radio is more popular among car drivers/owners than general public.

When I was younger, the word 'media' had not been coined. As you say, TV may cater for viewers 24 hours a day. Imagine watching CNN for all that time. I find that I listen to AM radio, but your comment about FM radio is most interesting.
