Your local radio stations

Post by Robert_S » Tue Jun 22, 2010 5:04 am

Do you listen to the radio in analogue over the airwaves like some Luddite stuck in the 20tgh century?

If they also stream, post your favourite local stations.


Where I live, we have quite a few good stations. My favourites are WEFT-FM, a non-profit community station found at http://weft.org/; and WWHP-FM: The Whip, an independent for (not very much) profit station that plays blues, bluegrass, rock, alt.country, comedy and sometimes gospel. found at http://wwhp.com/

I love them both for their independent spirit and utter lack of corporate blandification.
What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."

I listen to the radio while driving and avoid the local stations as they only play pop and ads. Mostly listen to triple j, ABC Classic FM and ABC Radio National ... in that order of preference.

I only listen to livestream if the radio station doesn't come in clearly. At the moment I stream the Stephanie Miller Show (in my car her local affiliate comes in clearly on the radio), and the other is The Kim Komando Show.

We have nothing by shite. I used to listen to NPR all the time, but I've fallen out of the habit of even that.

It's easier just to download the show you want to watch than to try to listen to it when it's broadcast on the radio. They repeat much of it over and over.

Yep. And there's no music on the air that interests me more than what I already have or can discover through alternate methods.

Oh, that sucks. I hate what's been done to most radio out there. A radio station can be so much more than a corporate record sales advertiser and I wish more of them were.

Try listening to BBC Radio Nottingham for more than a minute! It's nothing but old biddies ringing in talking about their teeth and music that appeals to women called "Brenda" and "Doreen". :nono:

I listen to nothing except our local ABC AM station, 774 (http://www.abc.net.au/melbourne/), and that only for news as I drive...

Mostly, I listen to the voices in my head... :biggrin:
