Why is it that only the classical station understands that I actually want to hear music while I drive to work in the morning? I am amazed that the THREE rock stations that I usually listen to in the car ALL have annoying personality-based talk shows that don't really involve music in the mornings. Is there really research out there saying that the people who usually listen to these stations really want to hear talk radio in the mornings? I was extra annoyed a few months ago when my favorite alternative station went from advertising that their commercial breaks only last 1 minute to having Adam Corrola talk and talk and talk for 3 hours in the morning.

At least there is classical radio, which was playing Handel Concerto Grossi this morning, to my suprise and pleasure.

I'm often aware of the annoyance of having a car with nothing but a radio in it, but if it weren't for classical radio, I would go nuts in the morning.

Wish I could help... fortunately, the hard rock station in this area also does musical mornings. And I have my IPod if all else fails. If I had the cash, I'd at least get you a wee little shuffle that you could load up for trips.

Yeah, I know a lot of people who have solved the radio problem with an iPod - at somepoint we'll such up and join the lemmings off the iPod cliff, but for now it is just an unreasonable investment.
