I use to be able to listen to FM radio through the web at work but the network police have shut that down. Now I want to purchase an FM radio so I can listen to the stations the old fashion way. The only problem is the reception where I am is not so great. I am not close to the window and more towards the center of the building. I brought in an RCA analog portable that I had bought a few years back but that didn't seem to pull in my stations.

Should I consider a good digital radio(e.g. sangean dt-300) with the hopes it could pull in the signal from where I sit? Or perhaps rigging up some sort of antenna? I see some of these offerred online. My last thought was if there was a wireless device that I could place near a window that could transmit FM signals back to my desk radio that would be optimal but I doubt such a device exists. Any recommendations on any of these options would be greatly appreciated!
