While I was on my recent trip to Saint Maarten I stumbled across a great radio station. With everyone streaming online I figured it would be a great start to create a list of free online streams of great radio stations. Comment with your favorite and I will add it to this original post.
Island 92 FM Saint Maarten- Their tag line is-Rock, Blues & Good Time radio, can’t say that I disagree. Best listened to with beer in hand while on the beach.
WEMU 89.1 Ypsilanti, MI-Eastern Michigan University’s local/NPR Station: great American Routes show Sat 4-6, plus top notch daily jazz.

Not to mention, cuz, that WEMU’s 89.1 has their very own jazz program every day that is considered one of the best in the world. Their “Sunday Best” show is awesome - the DJ plays all kinds of rare jazz recordings. It’s the only station my regular radios at home are tuned in to, I wake up to the station everyday. The station blows all of XM’s jazz channels out of the water.

I also use iTunes, which has some excellent streaming radio channels for free.

There are a lot of great internet only streams, but there is something special about the streams for a “real” radio station because it needs to broadcast for a particular environment

yeah, good point, I see now the rules that it must be a real radio station.

Hey Geoff, did you know that one of the guys that owns PJs is a DJ at 89.1: Mark Taras. He spins Monday 8-10 PM and Saturday 7-11PM.

Also, a good internet radio stream is Pandora. It’s know as the Music Genome Project, which is just cool. It creates a radio station based on an artist or genre that you plug into the player: it plays music that is similar to the artist or genre. It’s great if you’re looking for a ton of new music to listen to. It also allows you to save artists and songs and links to AMG and will tell you if the artist in question is on tour. I haven’t used it in quite awhile, so I’m sure that there are new features. www.pandora.com.
