What Was Your Favorite Radio Station?

KGO 810 AM when Jim Eason and Lee Rodgers was on in San Francisco.

Then they thought they could showcase Bernie Ward (seeking sex with kids)and Ray Talifierro as paragons of virtue.

KGO is now pretty much a turdstool.

I spend a lot of time listening to 88.1 KDHX out of St. Louis. I listened alot when I lived there, and thankfully, I can stream it online.

My favorite will always be 102.1 The Edge (CFNY) out of Toronto.

That’s real easy for me, WCBS 101.1 FM Classic Rock and Oldies. The same station I grew up with in my teens👌👍👍

It was 101.1 KLOL in Houston. Album rock with disk jockey Crash. Next is KLBJ in Austin Texas.

As a kid there was a station I picked up called The Revolution. Played a lot of contemporary rock, but a lot more of the deep tracks than competing stations. The real draw was a DJ named Booker who was over the top. He was always in trouble for his language and politics etc. No idea where he went, but his foul mouth and smoldering wit was the perfect way to end a day when you were thirteen.

Now... Meh. NPR or whatever classic rock station is at hand. I prefer Spotify or an audiobook.

I enjoyed his syndicated show in the early 70's, AJ. None of the younger people have any idea who he was now. 

I agree and doubt they have any idea what a transistor radio is.

WLIR out of Long Island, when I was a teenager in NJ. I think it was Long Island University station, and had a lot of really varied content. New Wave, Punk, Post Punk, etc. It became WDRE in my later teens, and it wasn't as good. Then I listened to WFMU in my 20s, which was all over the map - and still is. These days, it's mostly NPR, local classical, or WTDK "The Duck" which is the local oldies station. The Duck sometimes plays really bizarre singles from the 50s and 60s, like:

When I came along man had discovered smoke signals were a great way to communicate over long distances.

I don't remember the radio station...maybe WIOD in Miami...I remember the daily shows...Lone Ranger, Sky King, The Shadow Knows, many others for our entertainment...back when entertainment was actually something that entertained you instead of leaving you shocked that they would say that...radio was a big part of people's lives...there was no such thing as television. Had a crystal set that I made that could pick up the local stations...long as you had a hundred feet of wire to hook up as an antenna...great days back then. News that was truth...music that was enjoyable...parents that meant what they said, and you better do it the first time...adults in the neighborhood that watched out for the children of the neighborhood like they were their own. Schools that were run by the parents of the schools...teachers were accountable to the community that they served, school cafeteria that served good food by people who cared about what they were serving the "future" adults....different days from today for sure.

Back in the day, it was WXRT out of Chicago, IL … wxrt.radio.com/

Nowadays, it's Gulch Radio out of Jerome, AZ … www.gulchradio.com/

Not old enough to remember the 60's but I love listening to Psychedelic Jukeboxx on MixCloud. The DJ pulls in ads from the radio shows in the 60's as well as stories from that decade into the show. Great music.

There was one station in Austin, TX that caught my ear when I was doing a sales call there in late 90's. Cannot remember the name but around 102-105 side of the dial. They would play anything and everything and it worked. They would do Miles Davis Kind of Blue and then do Los Lobos. Defiantly not a Clear Channel station.

In the late 70s I would visit my sister in Ohio and I remember WMMR on the North Coast of America was a favorite to listen too.
