The only local station here (FM country music station) is a USA Radio Network affiliate. I do listen to their news, as well as the statewide news and weather which is satellite delivered to stations across Montana. Other than that, I'm pretty much listening to either XM satellite or talk stations on the 'net.
In the p.m. when I'm not listening to White Sox games I'll check in to see if Savage has a good rant for the day, and will stay there if he's on a roll. Later on I can tune in the east coast stations (really liked John Batchelor's show on WABC).
Most of the time I find that talk show topics are old news -- I've already read about them online earlier that day, and they've been thoroughly freeped.
