How do you organize your favorite radio stations in your car?

[MrDingleDangle]

my roommate programs his stations in his car by call number of the station, such as 89.9 is 1, 92.2 is preset 2, 95.5 is preset 3

on the other hand I do it by how likely the station will have a song I like on it

my favorite station is 1, second favorite is 2, third favorite is 3

how do u do it?

by favorites

 

[Skiddex]

numbers! 94.1, 99.1, 102.1, 102.9, 103.7

 

[UTmtnbiker]

I put my 2 favorite stations on the outside (preset 1 and 6). 2 through 5 are just filler for stations that I sometimes listen to.

 

[Platypus]

I don't listen to the radio

Numerical order.

 

[theknight571]

I responded "Numerical Value", which is true, but I have it divided in two.

The first press of each button contains my favorites, and the second push contains a secondary station.

I.E. 1-5 are my "favorite" stations in numerical order and 6-10 are the "secondary" stations in numerical order. But 1 - 10 as a whole is not in numerical order.

On the AM dial I only use 2 of the 5 presets.... and they are in numerical order.

randomly.

I don't listen to the radio much these days but definitely by number, from lowest frequency to highest. I preset my satellite channels the same way, based on the channel number. Just easier to find what I'm looking for that way, considering I have around 24 preset stations.

 

[chickadee]

numbers!

95.5, 100.3, 102.7, 103.5, 104.3, 106.7

(tho i rarely listen to the radio. Ipod FTW ;D )

 

[Mrvile]

I never listen to the radio. I always have CDs.

 

[thebigdude]

Radio? What is this radio of which you speak?

 

[Jikininki]

first is favorite...rest are kinda random. I dont know by the my second favorite station is actually on preset 4. 2 and 3 are stations I listen to if 1 or 4 has nothing. 5 is a last resort station. 6 isn't set. But i'm so used to them now that I wouldn't want to change anything so I'm stuck with what I have. heh.

 

[j00fek]

by favorites. but i only listen to the radio if im driving and the redsox game is on

 

[MrDingleDangle]

its seems pretty even so far, it just never even occured to me to list them by number, I have Rock channel followed by classic rock, followed by indie rock, then 2 rap channels then npr

and they are listed 1-6 as channels i most likely will have something i want to listen to

 

[Electric Amish]

1-5 in numerical ascending order.

Not that any of them play music that's not 90% total crap.

 

[notfred]

Favorite stations get lower numbers. Except for favorite stations that are out of town, so I don't listen to them as often. 1-4 are my top four Sacramento stations. 5 is my favorite San Francisco station, and 6 is my favorite Santa Cruz station.

 

[Thraxen]

I have them entered in order of preference. My wife has them listed numerically from least to greatest in her car.

yea, I have xm too, and I can't say they are in any particular order. Perhaps genre?

 

[Skeeedunt]

By the completely random order in which they were found to exist.

I do the same. 1 is my main NPR, 2 is NPR in a different area. #6 is the best music, #3-5 are other music.

I also try to give a station a logical assignment: 105.1 goes on #5 because that is easy to remember.

The most honest answer is I just push "Shuffle Songs" or "Drive" playlist (podcasts).

Numerical Order.

 

[So]

random. Basically in the order I became acquainted w/ em, I dropped my less beloved stations.

 

[Supermercado]

Basically the order that I discovered that a station plays music that I might want to listen to. I think the numbers are 106.1, 95.5, 103.1, 104.9, 98.7, and 98.3 so I'm definitely all over the board. I just use the steering wheel controls to flip through the presets in order and if one of the stations is playing a song I want to listen to, I stay on and listen. If the next song is okay, I'll stay; otherwise, I just start cycling through again.
