Yes.  I listen to news and commentary (the stuff on my 
local radio is parocial and often has an anti-American 
bias).  I also listen to college football games and 
commentary (the sport on my local radio is cricket, 
rugby and soccer).

True, most music stations stream at 32kbps or higher,
but I have no need for them.  There are plenty of other
options for music.
