What's your favorite classical radio station?

[fortyfeetunder]

Doesn't matter if its streaming, satellite or good ol' radio. Inquiring minds want to know.

My streaming tastes (all FM):
KUSC (USC radio)
KCPE Raleigh NC
KING in Seattle WA (I also listen to this in the car)
WGMS in DC (I grew up with this station)

1. CBC Radio 2

And Radio 1 at 11:00 PM weekdays, go to sleep to "Northern Lights."

2. Try KBPS in Portland

It's at http://www.allclassical.org

It is locally programmed during daylight hours, is non-commercial, and plays full-length works with no restrictions. Besides that, the announcers and staff are all Democrats!

(I know. I used to volunteer there.)

3. I don't have one at the moment.

The only local public station featuring classical music abandoned the format recently, but for opera broadcasts, and I don't listen to the one classical commercial station often enough to have the loyalty.

4. B.B.C. Radio3

I'm in the U.K. and so broadcast means either Radio3 or ClassicF.M. - the latter is ghastly beyond belief, the whole approach is completely dumbed-down, and the music only ventures beyond a comfortable mainstream for a few moments every couple of months; they very rarely play entire pieces of music, rather playing a single movement, or an exerpt (always the 'famous bit').

Radio3 is not exclusively classical, it also carries some Jazz, world-music and speech - but all get a serious approach and classical is dominant. There is a full concert every evening, and throughout the summer months every single Prom concert is carried live.

It is available over the internet as well http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/

5. WBJC in Baltimore

It's what WETA should have been...

[Pendrench]

6. I agree....

I listened to WBJC long before I found WETA - and because of that I always found the commercial breaks on WETA to be incredibly bothersome.

7. WNED 94.5 FM...

out of Buffalo, NY. 24/7 all classical. Simply the best. Not many towns can brag about having a great all classical station. I think even NYC junked theirs.
Long live WNED!
