I used to be in my vehicle for 5 hours a day or so and could not have survived listening to only FM radio. (There is no AM in the north and the FM is patchy)
I did find though that I could only listen to any one station for a day or two before the repeating cycle became annoyingly predictable. It seems like stations like Alt Nation have about a four hour playlist and then they repeat it in the same order. I could be wrong but after a while it really felt like we could predict the next song and would eventually get annoyed enough to switch to a different station.
There were enough stations that it didn't get stale though.
Talk radio is way better on Satellite radio if you are travelling as well. You aren't constantly trying to find the local CBC station to pick up where you left off or listening to the same thing for a second hour because you crossed the border. you also get Fox News which is the most entertaining talk radio.
