1. WFMU.org - my favourite station of all time

freaky, experimental and weird.

www.wfmu.org

E.Orange, NJ

[Inchworm]

5. Was bluegrass.. but if it's "experimental"

Its one of those stations you never know whats next. If so it reminds me of this one thats been around for ages.

9. uncanny - just the sort of weird I like,

thanks for the link.

[1gobluedem]

2. wemu.org - jazz, blues, NPR

www.wemu.org

In the spirit of full disclosure, though, I must also add that I work there....

[Inchworm]

7. I'm digging that!

Thanks!

[EstimatedProphet]

3. Radio for Peace International

http://www.rfpi.org /

Shortwave radio station on the web, which broadcasts a lot of alternative news/progressive opinion shows.

[Inchworm]

8. Thats a keeper

Thanks for the link

[xmas74]

58. I'll bookmark that one.

Thanks!

4. KDHX

Community radio station KDHX in St. Louis, MO can be reached at www.kdhx.org

They play all types of music, and I really mean all types. Plus, they carry Democracy Now. It's truly a labor of love. All of the DJ's are volunteers and select the music and plan their own shows.

Take a look at the Saturday lineup.

8:00AM Backroads with Stacy
10:00AM Down Yonder with Keith Dudding (Bluegrass)
12:00PM Mid-Day Jamboree with Fred Gumaer (classic 40's-60's country)
2:00PM Alma Latina with Lydia and Carlos
4:00PM Music from the Hills with John and Gitry (East European Folk)
6:00PM Coin-Operated Radio with Nico and Ryan (Weirdness)
8:00PM Positive Vibrations with Erica Lewis and Michael Kuelker
10:00PM The Grateful Dead Hour / Deader than Ever with Jim Bruce

[Inchworm]

11. Nice mix

Thanks for the link.

[MysticalChicken]

6. 94.7 Alternative Portland

It's, um... alternative.

I especially love The Bottom Forty, on Sunday nights, 8-10 PM Pacific time.

http://947.fm

You need to sign up to be a Nation Member to stream, but it's free.

[Inchworm]

12. That one took a bit- but worth it

another "alternative"

[MysticalChicken]

14. I'm listening to a CD right now, but...

Tara Dublin, who is on-air right now, is one of my favorite DJs. She has a Myspace as well:

http://myspace.com/tara947fm

She's a democrat, too, which is just bonus points.

[Inchworm]

15. I have been playing this station

Since the thread slowed down. My style for daytime.

[MysticalChicken]

16. Yeah, it's pretty awesome

Also, the morning show (6-9 AM PT) is not a "show" so to speak. I just thought I'd mention that since 99% of morning radio programs are lame hackneyed DJs (usually three, with weird names) with sound effects and fart jokes, and "Alternative Mornings" is mostly music. Actually, I think it's about 85% music and 15% talk (most morning shows are the other way around), and there's only one DJ and his name's Greg Glover, which is about as normal a name as you can get. I've met him; he's very nice. (He also hosts The Bottom Forty that I mentioned before.) He rarely talks in the mornings and when he does he talks about music (usually front- or backselling songs) and interviews bands and artists ("When the Artist Speaks"). Actually, the only humor comes in the form of the Jon Stewart Minute twice an hour. Although Greg does have a pretty dry sense of humor.

I don't usually get up early enough to listen to the morning show, but the few times I have listened, I've really liked it.

[Arugula Latte]

70. I listen to that on my car radio.

Great station!

[TheFriendlyAnarchist]

10. Thugzone.com

I've recently decided I like rap for background music

[Inchworm]

13. hehe- I gave it a try

"I'm da shit" was rockin.. the lyrics are a little hard for me, but I can see getting tanked to this channel

40 in my lap

[KatyaR]

17. AAK--this is hard!

The Rajun' Cajun - KLRZ 100.3 FM & KLEB AM 16002 - http://www.klrzfm.com /
Great zydeco and cajun music--a station the way radio USED to be. Absolutely THE BEST to listen to on a Friday afternoon before the weekend.

WQXR, the Classical Radio Station of the NY Times - www.wqxr.com
Mostly because a good friend of mine from grad school is the weekday evening DJ

Chante France - http://chantefrance.com /
French pop music

Rock Detente - http://rockdetente.com
French pop music from Canada

Whole Wheat Radio - www.wholewheatradio.org /
From Alaska, lots of independent artists

Ridge Radio, Oakville, Ontario, Canada - http://www.ridgeradio.com /
I don't know how I discovered this station--a microstation that plays top hits and easy listening, very good for a station this size, very listenable.

Canuckteach Crooners, Ontario - http://www.live365.com/stations/funkyville_croon
Swing, jazz, singers, and big band. This used to be a free station and is now subscription only, but it's definitely worth the bucks if you like this kind of music.

I'll stop here--sorry for the overkill.

[Inchworm]

20. Not overkill - a rounded selection

I needed me some zydeco!

Thanks!

[KatyaR]

34. Rajun Cajun is the best--

it's the "old-time" AM radio station with the local commercials and community announcements. I absolutely love it.

[GOPisEvil]

18. woxy.com

www.woxy.com "Independent and truly alternative."

I hope they can survive the proposed increase in rights fees.

[Inchworm]

23. so far so good!

Thanks.. "alternative" alternatives are great

[enigmatic]

http://www.kpig.com/playlist.php?hours=0

[Inchworm]

33. I had this one

Don't remember why. But I bet its good

[hippywife]

38. Very good!

And it was the first tertiary radio station to start streaming its broadcast programming.

Another really good one is:

http://www.radioparadise.com /

It's the station started by the guy that got KPIG streaming and he's in the forefront of the fight over the royalties legislation.

[deucemagnet]

36. BAGeL Radio

http://www.bagelradio.com/blog/index.html

[Inchworm]

40. No linky yon Cookay

[fudge stripe cookays]

41. My apologies...

gotta give my favorite morning show some love...

www.kfog.com

[Inchworm]

42. Listening now

I looked at the "artists" .. Guess it's a wide variety of different rock type music?

[fudge stripe cookays]

47. Yep,

"Adult Alternative" as they call it.

Tune in at 10 Pacific Time for "10 at 10." Dave picks 10 songs from 1 year (narrated by Don Pardo, even!). I hear stuff on there I haven't heard in YEARS!

[LTR]

43. Soma.fm

These guys have some great streams.

My personal favorite of theirs is "Secret Agent 128k", which is all spy music.

They also have "Illinois Street Lounge" (lounge and bachelor pad music), "Boot Liquor" (alternative country), and streams dedicated to dance, ambient and indie rock. These guys have good taste!

http://www.soma.fm

For terrestrial stations, Indie 103.1 in L.A. is good:

http://www.indie1031.fm /

And "The Current" out of Minneapolis, which programs a very eclectic alternative format:

http://minnesota.publicradio.org/radio/services/the_cur...

[Inchworm]

44. In favorites

[ghostsofgiants]

http://www.radiopower.org/punk45.html

[Inchworm]

[Inchworm]

66. And it has remained full

Well, dern.. This is a shameless kick, but your station was the only one I didnt get to hear

[ghostsofgiants]

67. That sucks.

I never had any trouble listening to it when I used to listen to it.

[Briarius]

[libnnc]

50. Old radio shows 24/7 commercial free -- AM 1710 Antioch

"The Whistler", "Inner Sanctum", "X Minus One", "Lux Radio Theater", "Jack Benny", "Our Miss Brooks", "Dragnet",

You name it, they've got it. Constant stream, 24 hours a day 7 days a week, airing shows that coincide with the days of the year.

http://radio.macinmind.com/

[Inchworm]

51. Neato!

I'm all over that!

[libnnc]

53. Surf around on that site 'cause they have some cool gadgets

If you use a Mac they have a feature that you can download that will put the stream on a sleep timer (so you don't hear the spooky shows in your sleep LOL).

[havocmom]

52. KXCI -Community Radio from Tucson, AZ. 'Real radio for real people'

It is SOOOO cool. Great mix, great programs. Operated out of an old house in the downtown area. They run workshops for people, including kids, who want to learn about broadcasting. KXCI is fantastic.

http://www.kxci.com /



Check out their weekly schedule. Good stuff. Music you won't hear just anywhere.

[Inchworm]

55. It seems "community" radio is great

Always a variety. I looked at the program schedule. Cool.

[hellbound-liberal]

54. WPFW-FM-89.3 The Pacifica affiliate in Washington D.C.

They play the best jazz, blues and world music that I have ever heard. They also carry Democracy Now twice a day as well as a variety of locally produced public affairs programming. When I lived in the DC area, I used to listen to it all day on Thursday. I loved all of the DJs that were on that day. On the web at www.wpfw.com

[Inchworm]

57. It was whipping my butt

its http://www.wpfw.org / I'm listening now

[hellbound-liberal]

60. It's a great station. I like the fact that they have people who are familiar with the music actually

introducing it. Check out their programming schedule when you get a chance. Having WPFW on my car radio is one of the things that I miss the most about DC! don't forget to check out Ketia Stitt and Donnie McKethin on Thursdays and Lona Alias on Sundays. they're my favorite DJs there.

[xmas74]

56. Besides radio enigma?

I listen to the Egg quite a bit. I talk to the guy who runs it and right now it's under alot of repairs. It used to be fantastic but he wasn't getting enough money to run the station and had to shut it down for some time. Now it's back.

http://www.eggradio.com/bbs / (eclectic mix of music-everything from new wave to classic rock to alternative to zydeco to showtunes and comedy skits. Oh, and there's an 800 line for requests.)

Join the boards and feel free to post-most are very liberal minded and most work as dj's IRL. They also tend to be quite welcoming and they do have meet-ups for the listeners. Also be sure to rate the music-if it's really hated it won't be played again.

[Fox Mulder]

59. Squizz on XM radio.

Hard rock.

[Inchworm]

63. I listen to Ethyl on TV

All the time

[LearnedHand]

61. "East Tennessee's Own" WDVX (and k&r)

Bluegrass & roots music, broadcast from a trailer park in Clinton, TN. The BEST I've ever heard!

http://www.wdvx.com/main.html

[Inchworm]

64. Thats close to home!

Head south!

[LearnedHand]

62. Please vote this up! This is a priceless list!!!

[Inchworm]

[Arugula Latte]

69. gmoney posted this yesterday about a fabulous station, radiohidebound

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.ph...

It plays amazing alternative/college/non-hit songs of the 80s and those in the spirit of the 80s. Great stuff:
