Internet radio stations - your favourites

Skybird · 09-25-22, 05:23 PM

I rarely listen to ordinary radio. Too much super-bad "music", noise, stupid babbling, commercials, and moderators always yelling. Terrible.

Internet raido is much better, since there are so many theme-oriented stations that focus on certain stuff and music sytle in which they specialise, and barely and talking - if any at all.

What are the best stations you listen to ?

I start with my favourites:

Hollywood Candlelight and Wine (USA). Easy and Smooth Jazz and biog band swing, mostly slow and moderate style, 50s, 60s, 70s, Great Americna Standard Songbook, Showbiz Music, sometimes interuropted by evergreens from the 70s and TV. I listen to it very often, almoste very morning in the kitchen. Probably my most favourite and most listened station since some months.

Xo FM (Riga, Latvia). A mix of melodic pop and smooth rock, cocktial jazz, lounge, and some trips into neighbouring music styles. Almost alway audible.

Smooth Radio London (UK). A bit more text messages and commercials, but not as much as you have in normal radio in germany. Audible music selection focussing on contemporary pop and reaching back up to the 80s. Sets a good active mood without being noisy or annoying in music choices.

101 Smooth Jazz (USA). The typical style of lounge and smooth jazz. Sometimes I am just in the mood for this and nothing else.

Bossa Nova Brazil (BRA). The title is program. Nothing to explain there.

Klassik Movie (GER)
Classic NL Sondtracks (NE)
Movie soundtracks. I miss the old AVRO stations from many years ago, who had the best movie soundtrack channels I ever listened to. They are no more online, but these two are not bad either. You know what soundtracks are, so what should I explain.

Software Defined Radio is fun to play around with sometimes. Surf frequencies and listen in from antennas around the globe.
