I remember those days. I was in the Navy during the 90's. I came home on leave in '93 and Rush Limbaugh was all the rage for my parents. Outside of listening to Rush occasionally, I never got into talk radio. I was scanning the FM band and came across Imus once, but my impression of him is he was an overgrown 6th grade bully and he didn't interest me. It was amazing how fast his career was cancelled after he called a black female NJ sports team "nappy headed hoes". They took him down fast! That was about a decade before "cancel culture" really got going.
I checked out of radio entirely by 2003 when I got a "Pocket PC" and could load podcasts on it and listen to them in my car with an aux cable. Then I got an iPod and I saw no further need for radio. Even for music, I prefer to listen to my own. I have no patience for commercials and inane DJ chatter. My wife still listens to the radio for some stupid reason, even though I've given her tons of demonstration of how easy CarPlay is.
Car dealers are still pushing satellite radio subscriptions for some reason. I assume they get a kickback. I got a 3 month subscription with a new car once, and never used it.
