Bored at work and fancy listening to some radio over the internet from the US. Can anybody recommend a good Sport/Talk/news station ?
At work I listen to my local ESPN affiliate..KTIK 1350. From 10-11am I catch the last hour of the Tony Kornheiser Show. 11am - 2pm: Dan Patrick Show 2pm - 5pm: Jim Rome Try www.ESPNRadio.com and see what you can get.
Talk Radio http://www.kgoam810.com/ Music http://www.kfog.com/ And there's always ... http://www.npr.org/ And don't forget ... http://cartalk.cars.com/ (Of course that last one is just once a week. But the shows are archived for the week.)
For something like the three billionth time: www.wfmu.org Might make your ears bleed from time to time, but never ever boring.
To add to the freeformity: www.wmfo.org - Tufts www.ckut.ca - McGill (Montreal) wmbr.mit.edu - MIT www.wnyu.org - NYU kzsu.stanford.edu - Stanford and here's a great list of non-commercial stations around the USA: http://kzsu.stanford.edu/other-radio.html
www.woxy.com (Ohio) Alt-Rock at its best, been around a long time and very responsive to email requests
KTCK 1310 in Dallas revolutionized sports talk radio around the nation. Very funny stuff. You can stream it at http://www.theticket.com/.
www.wpkn.org - WPKN - Independent radio from Bridgeport, CT. Some things on it will drive you absolutely up the wall, and some things on it are really very good.
Re: Re: Good US Radio Stations. I agree with GringoTex, The Ticket is as addictive as Bigsoccer. John- p1, day 1
Re: Re: Good US Radio Stations. Not being from Dallas or ever having listened to it, can you explain the "revolution" you refer to them creating?
The Ticket is a personality based station. The discussion is not limited to sports, a more accurate discription would a guys station than a sports station. The host may spend as much time talking about the concert they went to last night as the Mavs game. The ratings for the station are huge The Hardline gets over 10% of the most coveted demographic(males 18-50) in the no. 6 media market. maybe this link can tell you more than I can http://www.dallasobserver.com/issues/2001-09-27/filler.html
The "revolution" has in a way been validated by ESPN. ESPN radio has in the last month hired The Ticket's program director to be the general manager of the entire ESPN radio network.
Re: Re: Re: Good US Radio Stations. What Dirk said. Plus, it's not caller-driven. They even keep their guests to a minimum. They once gave Barry Switzer his own stream-of-consciousness show: 15 minutes a week of nonstop Oklahoma bullshit. Best radio I ever heard.
Thanks alot everbody, may all your first born have a full head of hair. Listening to the Ticket at the moment, something about the A-rods
No, but it's fun listening to it anyway, makes a change from constant football talk. Is it something to do with baseball ?
www.wonc.com it's the naperville college station. they play some pretty good stuff. not alot of talk and no commercials.
