I mentioned in the "why listen" thread that Hawai'i has two program streams; here's the Hawai'i Public Radio website so y'all can see what we get for our membership dues. Click through to "schedules" to see what we receive.

It might be interesting to see what other stations in other parts of the country feel are the shows their members want to hear.

http://www.wvpe.org/ Elkhart/South Bend, IN

but I like http://www.wbez.org/ from Chicago better.

http://www.kut.org/ in Austin, Texas 90.5 FM

We have three NPR stations in the L.A. area, and my favorite is www.kpcc.org because of its outstanding local news coverage.

But I confess that I still listen to www.wnyc.org in New York via live stream.

Here in the Great State of Maine we have MPBN, which broadcasts via several stations, both NPR (and PRI) on radio and PBS on TV.

The radio side includes ME, ATC, Fresh Air (eh) for the regular weekly side of news, along with a couple of slots for the BBC and Echoes. PHC on the weekends (Sat. and a rebroadcast on Sun.), plus Car Talk, What Do You Know, Says You, Wait-wait Don't Tell Me, plus Pipe Dreams, Selected Shorts, and This American Life.

The shows mentioned are the ones we listen to most. We don't do much opera, and I'll sometimes tune into the mid-day public affairs programming.

And, yeah, we just had another tote bag come into the house; it's a cool black bag with the MPBN logo. I have my morning tea in my Car Talk mug. Hmm.

Edit: How could I forget Celtic Sojourn? Love that show, which airs after PHC on Saturdays. We have some decent local programming, too. I recommend In Tune By 10, which airs Sunday Morning at 10am and several nights at 10pm. The Sunday morning version replaced the second airing of World Cafe; WC still plays on Saturday night, but I prefer the local show with Karen Willis(sp?). Of course, we also have Garrison Keillor's The Writer's Almanac.

uncleop22--What is Pipe Dreams? We don't get that here.

In Memphis it's www.wknofm.org
I don't know how to make it a link!

In Nashville, we have www.wpln.org From their website you can listen to either the FM or AM streams. FM carries the standard morning and evening NPR news programs and the then classical music during the week. On the weekend, there have some great orginal programming. The AM side is all NPR, PRI and BBC news and talk.

>6 DoctorRobert:: Pipe Dreams, hosted by Michael Barone, is an hour of pipe organ music. We get it Sunday evenings, either 9 or 10pm. You can check it out at MPBN.net; they stream their broadcast.

Thanks, I'll check it out. Streaming audio is really amazing. There is so much good local programming on NPR stations.

If you're interested in Hawaiian music, there's live streaming of several hours worth on Sundays between 1-4 pm HST here:

There's a six-hour time difference between Hawai'i and the East Coast on Daylight Savings Time, so that would be 7-10pm there.

Thanks for the tip, linkmeister. Maybe we should start a separate thread devoted to links to good local programs and when they air? We could create a really useful resource which, as far as I know, doesn't already exist online.

Great idea doc. But, until you start that thread, i can't resist, this show always puts a big ole smile on my face -- Car Talk -- Saturdays at 10 a.m. EST -- here:

And lotsa other places, too! :-)

The main two in DC beltway are WETA (http://www.weta.org/fm/) which is all classical except for Newshour (taped at the station) and WAMU (http://wamu.org/) which plays mostly news/talk.
WETA was classical with 4-5 hours of news but then they went ALL-news for two years and upset listeners who had to turn to a commercial station, then WETA went back ALL-classical when the commercial station switched to oldies or something and gave their music and classical dj's to WETA, who now has the biggest music library On Earth or something, with no breaks for ads! They still play Jim's show and Washington Week, which are my favorites, but WAMU plays most of the NPR shows and picked up a couple that people would miss from WETA. So we can get everything on the two stations, I'm devoted to both of them.
Since all this switching I've found Kojo Nnamdi's and Diane Rehm's shows, which are also taped here but weren't played on WETA because they're from WAMU, I just wouldn't bother to change stations before so I missed them.

WBUR, "Boston's News Station."

If you're looking for classical music, or jazz, try
WVIA FM

or WXXI

WKAR, East Lansing, Michigan - Long live classical music programming!

(yes, i am a dork)

:P

Like fleela, I listen to WBEZ. But not as much as I used to. They've trashed a lot of good programming in favor of repeating programs, and have basically eliminated (with a few exceptions) their jazz programming.

So I head on over to 90.9 FM, to WDCB, out of the College of DuPage in Glen Ellyn, IL.

WNYC, New York (93.9 FM, AM 820, and web-only HD).

In San Diego, www.kpbs.org (both radio and television).

Indianapolis has WFYI.

Like Fleela and Lillithcat, I listen to WBEZ. East-Central Indiana (where I went to school) has WIPB.
Both have streaming audio online...although I can't say I ever use it.

If you are in my car, you will be listening to my local NPR station. Here's the link for more info if you are in the Sacramento area: www.capradio.org

These are the stations:
KXJZ 90.9 Sacramento
KKTO 90.5 Tahoe/Reno
KUOP 91.3 Stockton
