Tuner - FM over the air - suggestions

I'm in Chicago, I can get WFMT over the air with the tuner in my AVR (Anthem MX520) but prefer the digital feed, which is crisper and not prone to weather related dropouts

@mahler123 Thank you for helping me prove my point. WFMT is a perfect example of comparing OTA real world FM tuner reception audio reproduction vs a station's webstream audio feed. In this equation are two different audio processors, and audio processor settings; in addition to FM reception electrical interference, the listener's FM tuner performance, and FM transmitter audio performance (just like all audio gear, an FM transmitter's exciter also has audio performance specifications, which also factors into what goes out over the air). Let's also not forget how a radio station's STL (Studio Transmitter Link - the method by which a radio station gets its audio to a remote transmitter site) can also affect OTA audio performance, as it relies on many pieces of digital equipment, and an internet connection, to get that signal to the Willis Tower transmitter site. My only beef with WFMT's webstream audio is that (IMO) it is rather dense (or thick), and bass heavy, with some limiting and compression, compared to the original source audio. This is easily noticeable for those of us with discerning ears.     

@mahler123 "but prefer the digital feed, which is crisper and not prone to weather related dropouts" or when the basement of the Willis Tower gets flooded, and the 98.7 FM signal temporarily goes off the air (May 2020). 

I hope you like commercials!! Current over the air raiding ain’t what you remember it being 10 years ago. All the stations are owned by three corporate conglomerates. In the chicago are you can tune to four stations back and forth to hear the same artist or songs at the same time. Then a commercial break starts so you think you can go to another station to not hear them? Nope they all run commercials at the same time. Then like tv you are lucky to get 35 minutes of music per hour. 

start with a great antenna/strong signal. I put a large TV antenna in the attic just for FM (all FM is between channel 6 and 7 I think). Hung from strings from rafters. Aimed at WBGO's antenna which turns out to be in NYC I learned here.
