Whether you listen to it normally as an FM or AM station, or over the

favorite radio stations and please say why, for each one named.

Not necessarily in order:

CBC Radio 1-990 Winnipeg, Manitoba. Relevant information, wry humo(u)r,
not hitting listeners over the head with their opinions. Unfortunately
they keep shutting down their AM transmitters in favo(u)r of FM; my
Internet reception isn't very reliable so I have to settle for travel
near (or north of) the border in the summer. In the winter the 990
transmitter in Winnipeg still puts a decent signal down here.

Incidentally, the CBC (text) website is an excellent example of what a
news site should be..

WPLN-1430 Madison/Nashville, TN. NPR information programs. A station
that provides information without slandering my values.

WORT-89.9 Madison, WI. You never know what you're going to hear next.
They're as likely to slander my values from the left side as WLAC is to
slander them from the right, but they'll make you think in the process,
and toss some decent music in to the mix...

================================================

The stations I actually *listen to* most are, in order:

- WPLN 1430
- WPLN-FM 90.3 (classical music to lull myself to sleep)
- WBUZ 102.9 (modern rock)

================================================

If this question had been asked two months ago, I'd have added WOXY-97.7
Oxford, Ohio. "97-X" with a fantastic local modern rock format,
including plenty of local Cincinnati/Dayton bands and more interesting
out-of-town outfits. Unfortunately their Class A signal 30 miles from
both Dayton and Cincinnati made them pretty hard to hear on many radios.

The Thursday before Dayton Hamvention was WOXY's last night on the air.
There's still a modern rock station on 97.7 out of Oxford, but it's
now satellite-fed and a cookie-cutter copy of WXEG.

I blame my failure in the Dayton CW Contest on WOXY's demise. grin,
kinda.
