FM tuners - Are they OBSOLETE ?

I have not used a tuner in 30 years. Nothing worth listening to...
I found a highly regarded tuner at a Goodwill a few years ago... and sold it for a third of it's used value just because I could not stand to rob someone for such a useless device!
Anything on FM I can listen to is usually poor quality garbage top oldies 40' talk radio, or some other useless format. The few and far between programs that might be worth listening to, are not worth the bother.
I have over 6,000 Lp and 2,500 CD.. so Im not missing out on anything i want.
BESIDES the availability of internet radio, and sevices like Pandora also make over the air radio obsolete.
If FM disappeared tomorrow, I would not even know it.
(In my car i drive, not any of those things others do while aiming thier car semi-randomly.. I actually Drive.. so I am not listening to anything on some squawk box car system.)

I recently added a used tuner back into my system and though I don't use it as much as I thought I would, I plan to keep it hooked up. So days it is noce to have on while doing dreaded house chores. But I do think their days are numbered with internet radio, panodra, rhapsody etc. Untill I can afford a Sonos or the like I am dialed in...

I guess it comes down to where you live in terms of what's available to listen to. But I seriously doubt the FM band itself is going to disappear anytime soon. It's free and belongs to the public just like AM. So they (the rich and powerful broadcasters) would have a hard time getting rid of it altogether -- just look how much money we (the people ;~) had to spend to keep over-the-air TV free and accessable to all us poooor folk!

What HAS died is pure analog FM. It's gone! No FM stations I'm aware of -- including classical -- use the telephone lines to link from the studio to the transmitter. It's wireless, and it's digital! So heave a big sigh over that one if you must -- but I still love the sound of my vintage McIntosh MR-65B. We have good classical here in Tucson from the U of A, and if I want to pull in Phoenix with all its Jazz and classical stations, I use my trusty Technics ST-9030. With its EIGHT GANG tuning condenser, it'll take me pretty much to the horizon!

Still, as someone pointed out above, it would be very hard today to justify the purchase of a great-sounding tube analog FM tuner based purely on value for dollar -- which is why no one is making them ;--) New high end solid state FM tuners on the other hand, will be around for a long time I think, because they'll all be satellite and broadband capable as well.

I find lots of stuff to listen on FM. I also love my Yamaha T1 from 1978. Until it quit working, i used it every day. I am taking it to be repaired this week. By the same thought process, vinyl is also obsolete (and cd for that matter).

I'm nostalgic about listening to WNEW-FM and the like back in the 70s on my AR receiver. Free stereo music and cool disc jockeys! What more could you want?
Ah, thinking of the night bird still gets me excited.
