I donโt know that any real number of people are switching to GMRS.
You probably have a better chance at reaching someone on Facebook or Instagram with your cell phone than on any radio.

So, with people switching to GMRS is there a "traditional" channel for anything yet?

19 was traditionally the east-west highway channel.
17 was the north-south channel.
3 is the dump truck and similar vocational truck channel.
6 is the skip-shooter channel.
Most big-trucks donโt even use CB anymore. Dump trucks use it mostly for talking to the loader and scale house when theyโre at a yard.

Vulgar language has been the "norm" on the wasteland known as CB since the 1970s and on and was still there in 2003 when I bought another new truck and decided to fully retire my last CB from vehicle service.
Before then I would turn it on and within 10 minutes time could no longer stand the abuse that was pouring out of the speaker..
Some folks can turn a deaf ear to the mess, never realizing how bad it can get and some folks can't.
I don't expect CB to have gotten better over time, it is not like a "fine wine"..
Decided it was no longer worth the hassle to go through mounting, installing running wire and adjusting antenna.
Turns out, I don't miss it one bit and makes moving to another vehicle much less work.
At least folks have been warned that it isn't exactly a "G" or even "PG" kind of thing.
