Try local AM or FM stations. In the age of Big Radio and companies like Clear Channel? Listening to earth sounds on my natural radio receiver is definitely more entertaining.

I think he was looking for a shortwave radio station broadcasting
misuc. They are unfortunately rare. Staying with radio broadcast music I suggested AM & FM. Earth sounds are more educational and informative that NPR and local news or more entertaining that local music? You are certainly entertained in unusual ways... |

The battle of the propaganda machines that took place during the Cold
War was really quite something. Easily, the Cold War era represents a golden age of shortwave broadcasting. Given present trends, we are unlikely to see anything quite like it ever again on the HF broadcast bands... |

While I enjoy classical music (orchestral -- nothing involving warbling falsetto vocals), I don't think I could listen to it all the time. As far as commercial radio is concerned, there's very rarely anything of any quality any more, which is the point I was trying to make in my first post. Even local news is a joke, if it exists, unless you're in a top 25 market. My first gig in radio was news. It was going downhill then. You are certainly entertained in unusual ways... Those are my thoughts every time I see a TV spot for a local radio station and hear the listener testimonials "I love W***!, I listen all day...."

Well, I can't comment on what it is like to work in the business of
radio broadcasting. I can comment on the quality of programming found on NPR stations, and to be it is well thought out, thought provoking at times and generally enjoyable. I've also found some truly enjoyable programs on small town radio stations. The number of stations found on the dial is certainly a function of locality size, but quality programming can be found in mosr markets - at least programming that meets my requirements. Your comments make me think of a restaurant or theater critic who has been writing columns too long. Things that would pass by most listeners loom very big in their eyes, nothing new compares to the way it was once done, etc. |
