I have occasional "bright spots" with my 13 year old daughter... she's "DX'd" Radio Disney stations on AM on my R-8 in the past to see how many she can hear - and she actually heard a Disney outlet I hadn't heard yet! In the car we often play "dig out Radio Disney from the jumble" on 1560, 1650, 640, and 540 (all audible here in Central PA). I know she's listened to my Drake when I'm not home, and she goes with me to antique radio meets. But, like Kevin's child, she's firmly entrenched in iTunes and Internet music despite my attempt to expose her to "my generation's" media. To her, radio is nothing more than that old Victrola in my grandmother's attic was to me, a novelty of the past.
