KAOS - Evergreen State College, Olympia.
KGRG - Green River Community College. You probably won't get it outside of Auburn.
KEXP - Still the best around, but I feel it has gone downhill a bit beginning in the late KCMU days.

Re: College radio near you
In addition to RadioK (University of Minnesota- Twin Cities)- KUMD (University of Minnesota- Duluth). Whenever I go to the North Shore, I realize that they are listening to better music (overall) than when I'm living in the Twin Cities.
Both have webstreams: http://radiok.org and http://kumd.org

Re: College radio near you
North of Cincinnati, there's WOXY, which is "97x"... they play a lot of "mainstream indie" stuff like GBV, radiohead, modest mouse, etc. etc. and a little bit of alt-country, as I remember... I think it's celebrated in Cincinnati just for the sheer lack of culture there otherwise, though, as I never particularly liked it.
kayagum- Kompressor actually does a shout-out to KUMD on a track on his latest album... One of the DJs there helped tremendously with getting him/them some local promotion.

88.3 WAIF in Cinci just got rid of the show "Art Damage", and I was a little young when it had it's hayday years ago. I did go to the "Art Damage Benefit" in cinci a few weeks ago, donations, drinking, and 35 bands playing one song each - a cover of the stupidest one-hit wonder songs ever. It was fun. They also have a decent dub-reggae-dancehall rap show, and a good surf guitar show.
97.7 WOXY says they are from cinci, but they are actually from oxford, where i am. A lot of it is mainstream indie, but that kind of background noise is MUCH better than creed/celene dion/nickelback/brittany spears backgrounf music. They have a pretty cool local show, and some other good specialty slots on weeknights. Rolling Stone rated it the #1 independant radio station in the country a few months ago.
sorry that neither of these are college stations. I live in a purely college town, and that's all we get really. our college station lost its FM license years ago, and so broadcasts over some channels if you get the university cable tv. very shitty.

Re: College radio near you
Oh no! That was the best show they had. Sad. They do have some other good shows, though. I don't recall the name of it, but I know they had one show that featured local bands (and perhaps touring bands on their way through town). They'd play a few songs in the studio and do an interview. Pretty cool. I always wanted to do a show on WAIF, but I never got off my lazy ass and did it.

Re: College radio near you
Word on the street is that they agreed to not make any changes at the station (same staff, format, etc.) until the current Station Manager leaves. After that it's anybody's guess as to what will happen, but (*knock on wood*) hopefully it will still be cool. I don't listen to radio often at all. When I do I generally listen to the classical station.cman548 wrote:yes, WLUW in CHICAGO 88.7 on the north side. The funding and management was passed from Loyola to another station, because Loyola couldn't pay for it. I went to Loyola BTW.

Re: College radio near you
I second the WFMU shoutout in Jersey. WNYU's afternoon show can be pretty good (4 PM to 7 is the New Afternoon Show). BPO in Newark isn'tindie/alty, just the best jazz ever.
WXYC in N. Carolina would always making my happy, too.

Re: College radio near you
Ha! I loved KWVA when I lived in Eugene. They had awesome specialty shows. Most of the freeform shows were by student DJ's, but the specialty shows were by adult vinyl addicts. A good combination. I still dig up my old KWVA mix tapes for enjoyment...Kyle wrote:KWVA Eugene OR
I blame KWVA for giving me the college radio 'bug'. Now I work at KVRX 91.7 Austin. Super cool station as well.

Re: College radio near you
Here in the Triangle, NC area, we're blessed with awesome college radio in the form of WXYC, WSHA, WXDU and WKNC.
WKNC 88.1 out of Raleigh is ALL HARD, ALL THE TIME. Doesn't matter what flavor of music they're playing -- could be hip-hop, techno, D&B, metal, indy, what have you. They only play the LOUD tracks. Heheh.
http://wknc.org/
WXDU 88.7 is a variety station. They go genre-flitting. They're a little more staid than WKNC and WXYC, though
http://www.wxdu.org/
There's also WSHA, 88.9 "Where jazz lives". And they do a pretty decent sampling of that field. They also have some specialty shows on weekends.
http://www.wshafm.org/
My fave is really WXYC 89.3. They're so weird. They'll be playing field-hollars one minute and UK garage the next, followed by some ragas, and then some Black Sabbath. Awesome. (In the interest of full disclosure, I do work for UNC Chapel Hill, though not for the station.)
http://wxyc.org/
Between the four of them, there's always something worth listening to on the radio. Hell, if I just had WXYC I'd be a happy camper.
Before I moved to Chapel Hill I lived in Minneapolis. Couldn't stand listening to Radio-K. Give me KFAI, KMOJ or KBEM any weekday.
The weekend is a different matter though -- Radio K's specialty weekend block programming is AWESOME.
