I primarily listen to 89.3 The Public’s Radio from NPR, or 88.1 Cutting Edge Classics.

I like staying informed on local and grand events, and 88.1 is tiers in quality above the mainstream channels.

  1. Just sports and holiday channels, because I love corny holiday hits, fight me. “It’s beginning to look a lot of Christmas 🎵”

  2. 101.9 WDET, Detroit Public Radio (NPR); 107.1 WQKL, 107one Ann Arbor; 91.7 WUOM, Michigan Public Radio (NPR); 100.3 WNIC, Detroit’s Variety (pop/rock)

    If there’s a traffic or weather event and I’m in my car, AM 950, WWJ News Radio Detroit.

  3. Way back in the 80s I used to listen to 95.1 WAPE. Rock and pop station at the time. Don’t know what it is or even IF it is at this point. I haven’t actually listened to the radio in longer than I really care to think about. It’s all Spotify playlists at this point.

  4. NPR or the Tejano stations. The rest suck where I live. Most of the time I’m listening to something from my phone, though.

  5. In my old car I had SiriusXM satellite radio and would listen to SiriusXMU (indie rock), Real Jazz, Liquid Metal, and 40s Junction, among others. I haven’t bothered keeping up with the subscription after a change in vehicle, so I pretty much only listen to podcasts or Spotify music now.

  6. Sometimes NPR (I’m a lib, sorry) and sometimes WTOP, the local news station. They have wildly different aesthetics.

  7. NPR is it. I don’t need the Clear Channel playlist that’s on every station nation wide.

  8. Radio? What’s that?

    I generally stream my music. But when I do put on the radio, it’s usually the local NPR station.

  9. None, haven’t turned on a radio in years.

    We have audio books, streaming music without ads, podcasts, why on earth would anyone listen to radio?

  10. 90.9 – Detroit classical and jazz station

    101.9 – Detroit’s NPR Channel

    99.1 – CJAM! University of Windsor Public radio (dude, this station is almost always playing something interesting)

    89.9 – CBC (they have some great music every now and then)

    Occasionally the hip hop and R n B stations. In the summer I’ll tune into the Tigers broadcast.

    Just a side note – I know most Canadians hate CanCon but as a music lover it means a lot of stations in the area have to play stuff I probably never would have heard of otherwise.

  11. NPR is 89.3 here too. I mostly listen to either NPR or the local classic country/bluegrass station.

  12. I don’t and haven’t for about 25 years now. Before it was XM then SiriusXM. Then Pandora, now Spotify.

    Without knowing where you are the broadcast channel is kind of meaningless. 88.1 likely has a very different program in much of the country than where you are.

  13. I have an XM satellite radio subscription and love the Chill channel, it’s my exact style of music, downtempo and deep house. The other electronic stations are great.

    Before satellite radio I’d listen to 107.7 The Bone, s rock station with two goofy DJs in the morning. Also used to listen to Z95.7 (don’t remember the genre) and Live 105.3 (alternative).

  14. I was/am a die-hard NPR fan. I really appreciate the breadth of topics and international coverage.

    After Donald Trump was elected, I made a conscious effort to listen to more conservative talk radio.

    I was clearly not as well informed as I thought I was. Say what you will, but if you thought Hillary was a shoe in, you were not right, and you should ask yourself why. Right or wrong, that is what happened.

    I really dislike how conservative talk radio takes sooooo daaaamn long to go from one topic to another, but it has been a slow and uncomfortable process to understand all opinions around various topics.

  15. FM stations/ internet greater NYC area

    89.1 WFUV – classic rock & oldies. (college)
    89.5 WSOU – heavy metal (college)
    90.7 WFUV – mix of classic/modern rock & folk (college)
    91.1 WFMU – freeform radio; anything goes
    91.5 WNYE – NYC public radio/NPR
    93.9 WNYC – Public Radio / NPR
    99.5 WBAI – talk/education (strong bias)
    104.3 WAXQ – rock (commercial)
    105.5 WDHA – rock (local, less commercial)

  16. NPR, and a couple of local college stations. They have a variety of shows, and I’ve discovered a ton of new, niche music through them over the years.
