I am glad that after your first paragraph you limited your complaints to terrestrial and satellite radio.
Internet radio, in spite of its problems with the Library of Congress’s stooges is alive and well and burgeoning.

Radio is still the medium where the most important thing one brings is one’s imagination.
Aggregators like Live365 and Shoutcast, Public Radio on the internet, all of this is growing by leaps and bounds.
