Does anyone listen to the radio anymore?


My tuner has been collecting dust the last few years. Got me thinking, how many  audiophiles even listen to the radio anymore when there are so many other options available?

WRTI 90.1 - Temple University broadcasts HD classical and jazz full time over its two channels.  Excellent programming on each.  I spin vinyl for my focused listening sessions but daily have WRTI on while reading or doing chores or simply not in the mood to change Lp’s.   The HD signal through my Outlaw Receiver certainly provides a richer sound than I get streaming Spotify or Sonos radio.  Through both channels I have been introduced to new material and artists which I have then sought out on vinyl which I purchased to add to record collection.  Support local radio.  It beats algorithm derived playlists any day.  

I only listen to the radio in the car and primarily listen to a local station here in Memphis, TN WEVL 89.9 wevl.org

You can stream them online.

I encourage everyone to check them out.....and support if you enjoy

They have only 1 paid position. The rest of the staff are all volunteers, WEVL....we volunteer.

The genre of music changes ever 1-2 hours with the DJ

They hold a spring and fall pledge drive and raise about $75k on each one and then have random fundraisers throughtout the year.

Been on the air about 50 years now.....love them!
