Hi Vicki,
Don't get me wrong. I am happy with the variety here, even if most of my
audio enjoyment comes from either cd's or streaming mp3 playlists. We have
all sorts of stuff in the bay area - the 4 college stations listed by Bob,
late night KPFA, a 70's soul station. There's even an
all-techno-all-the-time station here that just started a few months ago.
They only have a playlist of 10 or songs, but they are also lacking in
commercials and annoying radio personalities.
Once you leave the urban centers, the choices quickly peter out.
What's Evergreen?
