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.

This is a non-issue. Virtually all radio is crap. I was over radio at age
18. 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.

You don't have any nonprofit radio at the low end of the dial? Some of it is
pretty good, especially at night.

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.

In my area, my tuner is frozen on 90.1 NPR..the rest of the dial is a
wasteland!
