I want to improve my english (the London accent), so I want to listen radio stations where I can hear programmes about, politics, economy, society, lifestyle, etc. (especially in the morning).
I hear every day BBC London (good breakfast programmes) but I suppose there are other radio stations like this one.
Thank you !
BBC Radio 4, BBC Radio 5, LBC 97.3 FM
I always wondered why there is never any major radio stations for techno/dance music. It seems like a catagory in itself to me. I am planning on studying broadcasting in college and want to become a radio station dj. I just always wondered if people would listen to a techno radio station or why there isn’t any. I mean they have country, pop, hip hop, and classical stations. I just wondered because my dream is to have a techno station:)
I agree with the first answer but think most Americans don’t like techo but people like it in Europe
I think there are techno stations on satellite radio but I don’t remember hearing techno anyplace other than dances.
I would not listen to a techno station but if one goes novelty/dementia I am there.
Doing a web search it looks like there might be Techno stations
I’m currently living around the NYC area, and I’m a huge WPLJ, KTU, and Z100 fan. However, it looks like I’m going to be moving to Florida. I understand that there are similar stations, but I can’t really bring myself to part with them. Is there a way, using XM or Sirius radio, to get these stations while I live far away from the signal? Thanks so much in advance!
Sirius and XM are prohibited from rebroadcasting over-the-air radio stations. it has to do with how the Arbitron rating system works. Many stations operate a web feed and you can get internet "radios" that look and act like regular radio receivers. The web feed will be slightly different than the air program because Sound Exchange (RIAA) prohibits the play of certain music sets on the internet. Our college station has to switch the internet feed to alternate programs when the air program offends Sound Exchange.
I want to find some music that teens listen to in Hawaii, that have the hawaiian mix to rap, hip, alternative rock ect. Can anyone from Hawaii tell me what are some popular radio stations teens listen to in Hawaii?
It’s a big state…where in HI?
I’ve just bought a Vauxhall Corsa and I’m struggling with the radio as I cant seem to set the channels 1-6 to different radio stations so it is easier to change from one radio station to another. Can anyone please help 
With the majority of modern car radios, you tune to a station you want, then press *and hold* the button you want to save it on.
It will momentarily change to whatever station is already on that button, but after holding it in for a few seconds it will change back to the one you want. It’s then been saved.
Do you know of any good alternative rock radio stations in the Boston area that play bands like the Foo Fighters and A day to Remember?
theres 101.7 FM for alternative
modern rock and top 40 is 98.5
another rock station is 104.1 FM and 107.3.
I was wondering if the radio stations have voice talents that create the commercials for people who want to advertise. Or does another studio do the recording and then give it to the radio station to play?
I wasn’t sure if the radio station was a one stop shop or if I need to find someone to produce the recording separate from buying air/advertising time from the radio station.
Thanks for your help!
limited only. a few local advertisers might use such services. many will use a separate advertising agency which arranges that, either locally or nationally.
I’ve noticed that certain radio stations will have interference with others in close proximity to them. For example, 88.9 will have interference from 88.8, but why? If they’re both separate frequencies, how could they interfere with each other?
Radio stations are assigned frequencies which *aren’t* supposed to interfere with each other. (Also, if I’m not mistaken, the FM stations are spaced at 0.2 MHz difference, so it would be 88.7 and 88.9 rather than 88.8 and 88.9 frequencies.)
As to their being on different frequencies – The listed frequency is the station’s center frequency. To broadcast its audio, transmission of the signal is done on a narrow range of frequencies which are centered around the listed frequency.
I have a 2002 Hyundai Santa Fe and I don’t know how to save my favorite radio stations. I think the manual said to hold down the "band" button but I don’t see that button. Does anyone know?
Thank you!
Tune in the station you want to save and press the any of the channel select buttons, hold it for a few seconds and it will lock on. That button should always tune to that station after that until you do the save procedure again.
I was wondering how do radio stations calculate the amount of people listening to their station. Is it just how strong the pull is on the signal, or is there a precise way of calculating listeners?
A company called Arbitron uses sampling to determine radio ratings.
