Times change, flavors change. Anyone still listening to the Andrew Sisters or Glenn Miller?
I think listeners have become increasingly more adept at identifying quality music versus stuff that the corporations have shoved at them for decades through their mass owned radio networks.
Bandcamp is utterly fantastic for finding some amazingly good music that you'd never had a chance of listening to on the corporate radio stations as are the music services such as Spotify, Rhapsody, Pandora, etc.

Radio is about advertising. Stations want to appeal to audiences that purchase items being advertised and do their best to appeal to people that will spend money on said products.
Radio has nothing to do with music or album sales or singles.
