 It certainly has at my house !
 Morning radio is no longer the Larry Kenny Pool Party, but much more often,
 the inane morning zoo stuff, that appeals to me not at all.
 ( of course, arb never asked *me* )

 Good Morning Cleveland, though, does provide the weather and traffic, albeit
 several miles away, that is as close as it gets in THIS town.

 Even worse, "Your news and weather station" provides canned satelite
 during times of crisis, so TV is about all that's left.
 ( OK, to be fair, they haven't claimed to be news and weather in some time )

 By and large, in all my travels, while some markets do have radio that does
 a fair job in the mornings, most all of those markets have TV that does
 a better job, IMHO.
