Radio Presets

[MattyFlavor]

Okay, now I know we're pretty scattered and this will vary from market to market, but what are your car radio presets?

Mine (FM):
1. KZEL 96.1 Standard Classic Rock
2. KLCC 89.7 NPR
3. KRVM 91.9 Community Radio with great programming esp. on Wed. nights and Sat. mornings
4. KLOO 106.3 Corvallis Classic Rock station that has way way way better variety and deeper album cuts than KZEL...
5. BOB-FM 105.5 Rarely used... rock-pop
6. KODZ 99.1 even more rarely used oldies

(AM)
1. 1320 - KSCR Sports Radio
2. 1120 - KPNW Only for Sportstalk on drive home
3. 590 - KUGN Only for Oregon Sports Network broadcasts
4. 1600 - KOPT rarely used Lefty Talk
5. null
6. null

Just curious how others radio-surf in their rides!

When I'm driving around the Portland area I'm usually on 147.04 which is one of the local ARRG repeaters up on the west hills (in fact the base station is tuned into silence).

Oh I bet you meant that stock radio that came with the truck - I've never even bothered to program a station into it - the radio stations just don't play what I like to listen to - Been digging on The Tony Levin Band lately - Pieces of the Sun!

Boot leg from 1/17/2003 Toronto is just getting going - not a bad recording little thin on the guitars - but the keys are trying to tear out my sub!

What happened to my 105.9. One morning I go to work listening to classic rock and the next it's smooth jazz

Favorite station by far is only turned on Fridays at 5:00 PM. 89.1 and the Friday Freeway Blues. Blues from 5 till midnight

Underground Garage
Buzzsaw (Classic Hard Rock)
Classic Vinyl (Early Classsic Rock)

Yeah, I noticed that also, much to my dismay. I guess I'd better find a new preset for that button......well, on second thought, better not bother. Not enough decent radio stations in PDX for my first six buttons, let alone all 18 presets my radio has.
Most of the time I jump back and forth between KNRK, KINK, and NPR. And KUFO as long as Stern ain't on.

[DAB]

KPDQ - on FM
690 - on AM on the east side of the hill
DAB--- My wife has had to listen to this for the past 40 years
