Recently I discovered Radio Paradise - amazing music mix. Great quality.

Who needs DAB/FM

What are your favourites?

FIP. The usual French preoccupations with jazz and reggae, leavened with touches of world music, some of the more mainstream classical, chanson and a disproportionate amount of Manu Chao and Tom Waits. No ads, not much chatting (and what there is delivered almost exclusively by seductive-sounding French persons). Divine.

I listen to RinseFM a fair bit and SubFM as well. After that I also have a liking for Digital Gunfire and one or two shows on Krafty. So much music not enough time !

Radio Paradise mainly, but also most BBC stations get a listen at various times through the week.

 

I keep meaning to investigate some of the hundreds of stations on offer, but find that I enjoy Radio Paradise so much that I just leave that on for long periods of time.

I really like AVRO Klassiek as recommended by Andrew Everard.  One of the stations is 320kbps so sounds excellent.

I also like East Village Radio a NYC station.

Anymore for anymore? I'm on the hunt for some new stations. I would recommend London's own Point Blank if you're of a house/dance music persuasion.

Gold FM for all that 80's entertainment which has a lot of German commentary.  Surprised not to hear from the Hoff or any of his songs as I was under the impression they idolised him.
