Favorite Radio Station

So, I mostly listen to my music library commercial free but other than that I like my local non-commercial (but not Public) radio station, KKUP, the Cupertino Radio Club 91.5 FM here in San Jose. They play all kinds of music, all commercial free. Today I saw a link for an website that lets you use a globe of the earth to pick a radio station to listen to, I thought it would be fun to try out different stations around the world and find out what stations you like. here's mine.

    Gave it a try. It gave me 3 stations in the Fairbanks area, all the same one, NPR, just with different repeaters used for blasting the word to the heathen villagers. Needless to say it is not my favorite.

    I'm still troubled by what I did for that Klondike bar...

    I listen to 92.3 the fan on the radio.com app. It's Cleveland sports talk. I've lived in Colorado for 36 years...I still follow my home teams religiously. I think I may be mentally ill.

    That's what Frank meant... he bungled it.

    Can’t stand the radio, way to much Total Harmonic Distortion, Satellite Sirus XM is better but still the THD is audible.

    If you quote me do the @TX98Z28 in your text or I won't be notified of your quote, Thanks.

    ^^That's where mine spends the most time while driving. However, I'm all over the place. Bluesville, Greatful Dead, Symphony Hall, NPR, Outlaw Country, Latin Combo, Phish, Dave Matthews, Beatles, Garth Brooks, Salsa, Tom Petty, then there's Pandora, that list gets even more diverse.

    Radio? I vaguely remember that irritating stream of commercials.

    I listen to reruns of digital herf. Lots of awkward quiet time so I can meditate.

    This morning it was Swedish Country music, which is bizarre and fun.

    Ads in Scottish or Irish are actually fun to listen to.
    And Japan is crazy into 90's Jazz...

    African stations have been interesting, lot of good music that never makes it across to us except for NPR's "Afro Pop" show (which airs late at night). News coverage of what is going on in various countries has been interesting too, with the usual bias caveats.

    I mostly listen to Sirius radio. And mostly listen to Radio Margaritaville which I believe you can also get from the Margaritaville web site.

    While they obviously play a good amount of Jimmy Buffett, they also play a wide variety of other music that I enjoy from classic rock to folk to country, jazz and reggae as well as a few other genres every once in awhile.

    I also listen to the Sirius bluegrass station a good amount. We used to attend lots of bluegrass shows and festivals...

    Chris, you might enjoy https://www.music-map.com/ . You type in an artist and it helps you find similar.
