FM listening survey??
In your area, how many stations do you find listenable?
In Philly, I get four: WRTI, daytime classical, nighting JAZZ, a Temple NPR affiliate, 90.1 WXPN, University of Pennsylvania, excellent nightime folk & new age, daytime junk, 88.5 WDVR, a community supported oldies station, 89.3, limited range WHYY, Philadelphia NPR, 91.3, primarily intelligent talk And that's it! The rest is a wasteland. We used to have WFLN, a reknowned classical only station, but it was bought out by Clearchannel. |

You can get Dynalab and hear the clearest, most pristine broadcast available, but it's either been done before or the program is garbage, which is usually the case. And don't get me started on commercial radio. |

Yeah, there are one or two shows I get to hear once in a while. One is done by a friend of mine at WNUR in Evanston IL. But for the most part it is all such crap I don't even have a radio anymore. It's a shame because now I have to spend large amounts of time networking and searching for good stuff. I used to be able to just flip through the dial and catch things. Maybe I'm just getting jaded, but it seemed so much simpler when I was younger. |
