Radio

The radio stations I listen to in the Seattle area are:

• 88.5 FM "KPLU"
  • www.kplu.org
  • jazz, blues, etc. operated by Pacific Lutheran University
  • NPR (National Public Radio) affiliate, so there are good interviews and news broadcasts in the evenings from all over the world, sometimes even longer stories -- i experience Driveway Moments regularly.
  • summary at: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KPLU-FM
• 89.5 FM "KNHC"
  • www.c895fm.com
  • electronic music, best broadcasts are late at night with live DJs. operated by Nathan Hale Highschool students
  • summary at: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KNHC-FM
• 90.3 FM "KEXP"
  • www.kexp.org
  • Independent music, not mainstream. Historically from UW (so all streaming servers are in .washington.edu -- very fast)
  • can listen online and even go back in time 2 weeks so if you want to know what song was playing when you heard it, it's very convenient.

• 98.1 FM "KING"
  • www.king.org
  • Classical music
  • summary at: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KING-FM

There are some other more mainstream stations too, like 93.3 (pop, rap, r&b), 95.7 (classical rock) and 107.7 (modern rock), but the frequent commercials on these stations turn me away.
