 The Dallas/Ft. Worth Metroplex has some of the worst terrestrial radio in the U.S.A. I’d say the world but I imagine that the radio stations in Iran and North Korea are a little worse. Not by much, but still worse. Anyway, as my little way of protesting I am going to search for radio stations around the world that (how can I put it subtlely?) don’t suck.
Before I proceed, I must say that there are a handful of DFW radio stations that don’t suck. On the Frequency Modulation dial there’s 98.3 (KNON, “The Voice of the People”, Eclectic Community Radio, Listen), 95.3 (KHYI, “The Range”, Alt Country/Americana, Listen) and 102.1 (KDGE, “The Edge”, Alternative, Listen). On the Amplitude Modulation dial there’s 1080 (KRLD, “News Radio”, Listen) because of their news, weather, traffic and Texas Rangers broadcasts. To kick off the series, let’s head down to Austin for a little Triple A radio via 107.1, KGSR, “Radio Austin” (click on their logo below to listen live): |
