I've always enjoyed listening to far-away places on the radio, ever since I was a child going to bed with a transistor radio up to my ear. If you can find local programming when DX-ing (increasingly difficult with national syndication), it's like taking a trip to a place you will likely never visit, nor probably want to since that often dulls the charm. You get a feel for the people, the problems, the politicians, the food, the ways they entertain themselves.With the advent of the Internet, the world is no smaller, but much of it is now as close as your keyboard. I found 567 K-57 KGUM out of Guam while finding a way to stream Coast to Coast AM from my desk at the office. I was recording it from a local broadcast on my PC and carrying it with me on a USB stick, but that became a nuisance, and this way is much more interesting. K-57 does do a great deal of syndication but there is still enough local color to make it interesting during commercial breaks and local news.

Have you had any problems streaming this lately?? The last 4 times i've tried Tunein cannot connect to stream. The following shows stream just fine! Its a conspiracy i tell ya!
ReplyDeleteHi Azeliea, I don't think I tried to stream it this week, I'll give it a whirl and let you know; I'm mostly active over at my other blog, http://clarence0ddbody.blogspot.com/ ; I found it too much work to maintain two.
ReplyDeleteI have found that station occasionally unavailable.
Hi Azeliea, I did reply to this, not sure why it didn't show up here. I am not having any trouble streaming, but I do use the direct stream (http://radio.securenetsystems.net/radio_player_large.cfm?stationCallSign=KGUM2) with Chrome, that seams to work best for me.
