It was five-ish years ago, but we had a period where we listened to the radio a lot at my previous employer. Company Wi-Fi didn't allow for streaming music, and I didn't have a smartphone at the time. Occasionally someone else did or I'd bring in my iPod and play stuff, but it's a lot easier just to tune in and let someone else be the DJ for you. It also takes off the pressure of picking music that's appropriate/likeable for everyone - if a song that no one likes comes on, we all could roll our eyes and sit through it or we could just change the station. Now that I work from home my radio usage is mostly limited to sports, though I take a lot of road trips for family purposes and it becomes fun to scan through the radio and seek out songs you know. And I have called in to a station before - probably not for ten years, but I've done it! It's interesting to see how they cut up the conversation to fit the space they have.
