Has anyone got some good links to any Internet radion stations? I normally tune into mainstream Irish and UK stations (RTE & BBC) but wouldn’t mind finding some new sources. I’m looking for middle of the road music with some chat and news. Any ideas? ---

I used to listen to a great Australian station but I haven’t been able to connect to their feed since December. I found them via the Australian pages at [http://www.radio-locator.com](http://www.radio-locator.com). ---

For just chat & news, try [KTRS St. Louis, MO](http://www.ktrs.com/). No Rush Limbaugh, no Dr. Laura, no G. Gordon Liddy, all very middle of the road. They do have glurgemeister Paul Harvey, though. ---

Haven’t got any links but I’d like to thank the inventor of internet radio because now I can listen to speed garage before I go out. 🙂 ---

For an AWESOME selection of indie/alternative music, tune into Minnesota Public Radio, 89.3 FM. Check out this playlist, worthy of the highest hipsteriffic praise! [http://minnesota.publicradio.org/radio/services/thecurrent/playlist.php](http://minnesota.publicradio.org/radio/services/thecurrent/playlist.php) Two of my favorites from back home in Miami are [http://www.wdna.org](http://www.wdna.org) , 88.9 FM WDNA, “your jazz and rhythm station,” and [http://www.wvum.org](http://www.wvum.org) , 90.5 FM WVUM, more eclectic alternative music from the University of Miami. ---

I found them via the Australian pages at [http://www.radio-locator.com](http://www.radio-locator.com). I usually have [ABC NewsRadio](http://www.abc.net.au/newsradio/) on.

I enjoy the [Radio Paradise](http://www.radioparadise.com). It’s, uh, you know, adult contemporary stuff . . . folk, rock, New-Age. It’s user-supported, but, happily, no pledge drives. ---

[Live365](http://live365.com) claims to be “The World’s Largest Internet Radio Network”. I used it a few years ago and it was free then. I think it still is free today. ---
