Damn, what a joy to have good College FM stations.

Just was inspired by my local college station playing great Jazz off an album...  When living in the Madison, Wi, Iowa City, Ia area and a few others...Chicago, Milwaukee, L.A. etc. college FM stations have been a joy. 

Not my music that I own or would, but my local station just played a great song by the Mills Bros...  Ed Sullivan gave them new life in the 50s.  If you have a local college FM station that plays good music, support their fund drive and let your friends know that there are still reasons to own a great tuner.   For what it's worth (no not the Buffalo Springfield song) the "wood look" Sony table radios. like the ICF-9550W  are worth your time. ...can be had on ebay for near nothing and if nothing else, some music for the garage while you are changing the oil on the Ferrari California Spyder 250GT SWB......or the minivan.

I also love listening to music from the FM station. But it is quite sad that my university does not have FM stations like other universities. I feel jealous of them. Last year, I decided to buy a radio to listen to at home

I don't have a good college type station around but I love searching for them when I'm on a long road trip. It is such a pleasure to find a good one......but in an hour they're gone.
Will have to check out some of the internet stations listed above.
I'm assuming most of them can be played through Sonos or Amazon Music?

Agree.  I listen to WUOT (UofT, Knoxville) is a really good station.  Mostly classical, some jazz.  Back in the day though, WGUC (U of Cincinnati) was the best I've ever heard.  Alas, they are no longer affiliated with the University.  Still a nice station, but they are not what they used to be.

Probably the thing I enjoy most about a good college station is if it is eclectic. I want to hear stuff I've never heard or not heard much.
