What are some of your favorite local FM stations?

[MBony]

Upon discovering Radiotime I am wanting to see where some other stations are that I might want to tune into. We have an excellent classical station here in town (89.9FM allclassical.org).

Regardless of genre, what FM stations can you tolerate or even enjoy these days? Let me know the station, call letters (if you know them), and city please.

90.1 WETA is the classical station here (DC). weta.org/fm .

None of the other FM stations here are especially noteworthy. WTGB 94.7 was mildly interesting for awhile but has switched back to generic classic rock.

Our local NPR station is the only radio I listen to anymore. ipod + 6 disc changer ftw!

The station I volunteer at may be the best in the universe: KALX, Berkeley 90.7 FM, KALX online for links to the streams, a listing of all plays for the last 24 hours, etc. We have a reputation for being among the best of the best. I'm doing a show there tomorrow morning 9-noon. The guy on before me tomorrow (Jesse) plays a lot of comedy, punk and some metal and is good too.

Also good around here is 89.7, KFJC and 90.3 KUSF, and they both stream as well.

College radio at its best.

I can pick that up on the rare occasion. Usually the collage station (88.9) needs to be off the air though. I'm in PA.

88.9 Edinboro University
90.3 Allegheny Collage
90.5 Gannon University

The radio really sucks around here. Same old, same old every day. I really, really miss the old WSRD out of Youngstown

88.1, cause that's what my FM transmitter for my iPod is set to

I like the bottom end of the dial more than the Top 40 stations... my current go-to station is 90.3 out of Rutgers New Brunswick... I hear a ton of great new music on it all the time.

people who say good music isn't still being produced aren't looking in the right places.

In Oklahoma, most of the radio stations broadcast between 35-40% of their air time on commercials. Forget about listening to music from about 6-8am, 12-1pm, and 4-6pm. Commercials or DJs talking about crap I could care less about. I flip over to my Ipod or XM and rock out.

 

[zinfamous]

Was a big fan of the local jazz station back home: WSHA, 88.9, and teh classical/NPR station. Now I only listen to NPR.

 

[AnonymouseUser]

No longer have a favorite, but it used to be the college station 90.9 WQFS in Greensboro before I moved. Commercial radio sucks dick.
