@lp2cd Here is a Facebook link to a former old CFNY DJ that still spins tunes on the net.

You should check out KCRW.com if you liked the old CFNY. KCRW is even better. They play everything from every era and every style and every country.

They even play vinyl sometimes because the DJ’s think it sounds better.

At the moment the station is a little messed up with Covaid but it still shines.


WGBH 89.7 Boston, as well as WCRB 99.5 Boston both sound terrific. I use a Cambridge Audio t500 tuner as well as a Marantz st6000. My antenna is a large Winegard in the attic aimed towards Boston.  I’m a bit over 30 miles away in the burbs...
“Unlistenable since 1995”?! Seriously?

WBGO Jazz 88.3 Newark, NJ is outstanding with great Jazz programming.

+1 WKCR out of Columbia U in NYC has some of the most interesting programming anywhere. This weekend is a case in point. To celebrate Charlie Parker’s centennial (he would be 100) they are featuring classic, archival, rare and bootleg and bootleg recordings and very interesting commentary of this pivotal Jazz artist 24/7 for eight (!) days. Fantastic. Check it out (on line if outside the NYC metro area).

The only time I listen to the radio is in my car. I haven't had a tuner since the early 90s.
Unlistenable because of content or quality? If stations broadcast and stream, listen to what’s preferred. My Magnum Dynalab sounds great, nothing like vinyl or great digital, but the personalities of the DJ’s and the presentation is entertaining and isn’t what this is all about, being entertained?
