NTS, ResonanceFM, RinseFm...
These are some internet (or started as internet) radio stations that also attempt to provide a wide range of programming, or at least programming that a listener may not find elsewhere.
Does anyone listen to these or other stations?
Anything to recommend?
Tangentially, I noticed that some of the shows are freely available for download or podcast. Is that because they are, I think, UK-based (and thus not subject to the same legal restrictions as WFMU - actually, The Law why WFMU's music shows are not podcast, right?)
-
I don't listen to a ton of internet-radio, however, I have heard that CHIRP (I think it stands for Chicago Independent Radio Project or something) out of Chicago is pretty good.
-
These are not eclectic in the WFMU sense, but they fill a need for me: The SomaFM stations offer a fair amount of negligible electronica and kitschily new-age stuff, but DroneZone and Doomed, and sometimes Digitalis and Lush, are reliable sources of good wallpaper music for when I'm working and need something in the ambient register: http://somafm.com/ (http://somafm.com/)

Jonny Trunk's show on Resonance is my favorite. They only podcast one or two shows per month though.

I don't know the legal subtleties of podcasting music, but I know Resonance purchased some type of license.
Also it's funny the station doesn't have an in-studio phone.

Seconded. It really is great.

Another to add - Grow Radio. They seem to podcast every show they have:

I may be delusional but I think some long-ago guest has or had a show on this station ... ??? (doing some digging, I may be thinking of Andrew Sandoval (the curator of the Where the Action Is compilation who has a show on a completely different station - http://www.luxuriamusic.com/ (http://www.luxuriamusic.com/) )
They describe themselves thusly:
Grow Radio :
– is a listener-supported Florida non-profit company.
– is located in beautiful Gainesville, Florida …go Gators!
– is produced by volunteers
– is a community Internet radio station
– is named so because we intend to grow community radio.
– plays music that you won’t hear on local terrestrial radio stations.
– plays original local music.
– is awesome.
