Mine are:<\/p>\n<p>1. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.931jackfm.com\/\">KCBS 93.1 &#8220;Jack FM&#8221;<\/a>. Used to be Arrow, a classic rock station. Now seems to be some sort of chain (I&apos;ve heard one in the SF area called &#8220;Bob&#8221;) which makes a big deal of not taking requests and &#8220;playing what we want&#8221;. It&apos;s hanging on to a preset by the skin of its teeth, actually.<\/p>\n<p>2. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.star987.com\/main.html\">KYSR &#8220;Star&#8221; 98.7<\/a>. Home of the &#8220;wacky\/outrageous&#8221; morning show and otherwise peddler of whatever-the-RIAA-want-to-promote-this-week. The American (and way-inferior) version of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.964eagle.co.uk\/\">The Eagle<\/a> which was my old morning show staple (PG &#038; Bev). Sadly, new UK laws last year mean that UK music radio can no longer be offered over the web. Boo. Still, there&apos;s always Nick Ferrari on LBC. If I want to listen to the radio at 10pm PST.<\/p>\n<p>I just found out that <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jamie_White\">Jamie White was let go<\/a> from KYSR recently and the morning show has been cancelled! Too late, moving on&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>3. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kearth101.com\/\">KRTH &#8220;K-Earth&#8221; 101.1<\/a>. For the oldies. This is one that Mrs Elbeno likes, to fill in when everything else is adverts.<\/p>\n<p>TBH, 1, 2, and 3 are relics from when Mrs Elbeno used to drive the car. I hardly listen to those stations these days. Now with 4, 5 and 6 we&apos;re getting to the better stuff.<\/p>\n<p>4. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kmozart.com\/\">KMZT 105.1 &#8220;K-Mozart&#8221;<\/a>. Great station. For days when I feel like a change from&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>5. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jazzandblues.org\/\">KKJZ &#8220;K-Jazz&#8221; 88.1<\/a>. NPR from Cal State Long Beach. This one is a bit ropey on the reception, and Mrs Elbeno complains about that, but I figure a bit of static over music of this quality beats clear reception of any amount of stations 1 &#038; 2. Wikipedia says: &#8220;The station is one of the highest rated jazz stations in the United States&#8221;. And that&apos;s fine by me. It&apos;s part of my daily commute. And one of the few stations I&apos;ve ever bothered to listen to online.<\/p>\n<p>6. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kcrw.com\/\">KCRW 89.9<\/a>. Local NPR station out of Santa Monica. They have &#8220;Morning becomes eclectic&#8221; (which usually loses out to Jazz, for me) and in the evenings they have &#8220;All things considered&#8221; which is a pretty good news\/talk segment, lately often examining issues relating to the Iraq war.<\/p>\n<p>That&apos;s it.
