What are they?

I live at the Jersey Shore. Near LBI. There's a small eclectic station here. WBNJ / 91.9. They play anything from the Beatles, to Pink Floyd to Nat King Cole. Awesome station. Listening to Jerry Vale right now. being Italian, perfect.

WWDC 101.1 FM Washington DC area.......Modern Rock

Most of the time I listen to Sirius XM in the car.

I used to listen to 101.1 when I lived in Sterling, VA. Big plus for that station.

Abu Dhabi Classic FM 91.6

Really is "classic" with live personalities, drive time programs, dedications and requests.

But I miss KKUP club radio back in San Jose California

Back in the OLD DAYS, we used to listen to WHFS 102.3 FM, in Bethesda, MD. They broke all kinds of intriguing bands to the area, including Little Feat, for instance.
Well, those days are LONG LONG gone, but In case you haven’t heard, one of their well known jocks, Weasel, is back on the radio waves at WTMD,
the NPR station in Towson, Maryland.
Listen to him on WTMD 89.7 FM every Friday evening from 7 – 10pm.
The program repeats Saturdays from noon to 3pm.

They stream the signal - so if I am around the house, I pump it down to the Heath/Valencias and kick back!

WRCJ Detroit seems to be one of the very few bright spots in this radio wasteland of ours. I don't listen to it, but at least I give 'em props for bringing classical back to Detroit, along with jazz during the overnight hours.

The best jazz station in the SF bay area area is KCSM. A local translator gave me a pretty good signal, but it was dropped a couple of years ago. KCSM also had a TV station, but it was sold as well. I just discovered that the buyer, KPJK TV, has put the KCSM radio signal on its 60.6 subchannel! A nice discovery, but odd. Neither station advertizes 60.6 that I've seen.

Edit: I get my TV OTA and am set to route it to my hifi system.

Outside of some jazz programming on community and college stations, it's the ONLY jazz station in the Bay Area.

Please, someone tell me if there is anything I am missing the Akron-Canton, OH area. It's a vast wasteland. Thanks

 

[KentTeffeteller]

A note: The 104.9 out of Lafollette, Tennessee switched to Country for a brief time, now is Classic Rock.

 

[Mortsnets]

KPFA Pacific Public Radio with great roots music programming on weekends

In addition to the weekend shows I like Bonnie Simmons and Derk Richardson on Thursday night.

i do not live in your area, so all i can offer is the list of possible stations available in your area:

For Rochester, NY, its WGMC (aka "Jazz901"). They have about 3 paid employees, basically, everyone in the evening is a volunteer. That equation makes it work financially for a smallish city. it has a very professional sound and covers a wide format of jazz. The music director, Derrick Lucas, is a walking encyclopedia.

+1 on KCSM

WDVR 89.7
