Do you still use the radio? – Oeste Magazine

If you have a car, you probably still listen to the radio while driving. But what about your home? Do you still have a traditional AM/FM radio, portable or plugged in?

British newspaper The times I posted an article today asking the same question. But there is a big difference: the English are at a more advanced technological stage. They went beyond dual AM/FM and arrived at DAB. What does digital audio range mean?

At the beginning of this century, Brazil had the opportunity to upgrade to this new digital model, DAB, with much higher sound quality. But we missed the tram. We continue to use the same analog technology that was inaugurated – trust me – in 1906.

Today the radio itself has been replaced to some extent by cell phones and computers. Virtually all broadcasters, in addition to AM and FM, transmit over the Internet. But what if the Internet fails?

Which brings us back to the original question: Do you still use radios at home?
