One thing I like about radio is that it can introduce me to new music I haven't heard before. Or to different recordings of pieces than the ones I own (speaking of classical music, here). It injects a little more variety into the music I hear.
Though I know it's different for a lot of non-classical stations - they play the same two hours worth of music over and over throughout the day. I get annoyed if I hear the same piece on classical radio within 2 weeks.
Plus I don't have an FM transmitter for my iPod yet, so if I want to listen to music in the car, it's either radio or CDs. And NPR programs can be pretty interesting listening, too. I never watch the news on TV, anyway.
