What the frequency Kenneth?
The standard bearers for triple-A radio (adult album alternative) in our area have been the big 3:
90.7 WFUV
88.5 WXPN
91.9 WNTI (formerly, now OTA this is WXPN, though WNTI can still be streamed)
Lots of overlap in their standard programming playlists,
so it's about personal preference on the edges that makes the difference
WFUV (out of my alma mater) is great, but a tad too polished.
That said, this is usually what is on at Chez Manic.
Evening broadcasting is great.
WXPN is also good, but can get on my nerves sometimes.
(As Robin noted, you can now catch this over the air on 91.9,
because Centenary sold their frequency to them-
didn't even know you could do this).
One day I was doing DIY stuff in the 91.9 listening area,
and was stuck listening to an entire day of solo stuff by members of the Beatles (it was some Beatles anniversary).
I like the Beatles, but wanted to smash my radio after like 8 hours.
The stuff they play on weekends between 2-4a is pretty great though.
WNTI is the sweetspot for me. I consider them the dysfunctional siblings of WFUV.
For example, I spent years listening to Johnny D overcome his stutter while broadcasting live on the radio.
And the stuff on their edges speaks to me more than WFUV or WXPN's.
New kid on the block in Sussex county is Sussex County Community College radio (97.5).
This doesn't fit the triple-A mold, but promises to bring more dysfunction to the airwaves than WNTI.
All their djs sound like they are broadcasting out of a tin can,
and last week's listening highlight was a polka version of Johnny Cash's Ring of Fire.
Come on!
Their broadcast area is like 2 sq miles though, and I'm not even going to look to see if they stream.
