I see your point, Wayne, but I'm usually listening to the radio when I'm driving - and so I can't check what's happening online.
As a listener nowadays (disclosure: I used to read the news on the top and bottom of the hour) I do turn up the volume when I hear the news theme on my music station.
Plus, if the jock or journo breaks into the program to give news, what about the person who tunes in, 1 minute after that update? I know I can listen in at a certain time, to know what's going on (traffic too).
However, I'll admit I'm a relic.
