[78-L] Streaming Radio preferences

[bradc944 at comcast.net]

Forgot one!  WSGE in North Caronlia (I think), has a 4 hour program on a weekend night called "Roger on the Radio".  He plays a lot of 30s and 40s swing, and will feature a CD somewhat regularly.  His shows are available on usenet newsgroups (alt.binaries.sounds.78rpm-era) usually 1-2 weeks post-broadcast.

Hmmm... as a streaming radio listener (BARELY listen to local denver radio), I have a few choices, depending on mood:

KBRD - daytime AM station out of Tacoma, WA.  Their playlist is VERY 78 oriented, BUT (and this is a BIG 'but') some of their transfers are ABYSMAL.  VERY ringy, like someone had the CoolEdit Pro noise processor set to "extremely aggressive".  Google KBRD and their stream should show up from their main page.

IF you can tolerate their VERY wide spectrum of music, I also listen to Radio FIP out of Paris.  This used to be the old France-Inter Paris, until they changed their format to 'wildly eclectic' and took it national.  You'll hear everything on there from early hot jazz to classical to modern swing to jazz to african to (gag choke retch) rap.  And, as a warning, when they do play hip-hop, it AIN'T bleeped.  Still, this is what I tune to first when I'm looking for decent background audio in the studio.  Google Radio FIP and look for their actuel page. All in French, of course.

Now............... I have enough remnants from my trashed archive to put up a stream.  Nothing fancy, but I think I can sneak onto a restreamer so that Commiecast won't get upset with any stream-serving load.  Would anyone be interested in a stream of 78s (as well as other not-too-wildly-eclectic material interspersed)?

If so, it could be up in a week or so...

Hello folks,
I have a laptop in my shop and have taken to listening in online radio 
stations during the day. I have tried several now and the only one I can 
honestly recommend right now is Radio Dismuke, even though I wish they 
would not use so much echo. I would like to hear some newer stuff, but 
have been unhappy with what have found so far. The playlists sound like 
they were put up by someone who had no real idea what people actually 
listened to back in the day. What is everyone else listening to?
