Apparently the president gives a weekly radio address to the country. On which radio frequency can that be heard, and when?
You can find all of the addresses at the White House web site (they have transcripts and audio links).
I’m not aware if any radio station plays the entire broadcast live (lots play snippets in their news updates).
The President’s weekly address is broadcast on a number of radio stations across the country. We’d have to know where you live to tell you which of your stations carry it. In Washington, DC, where I live, it airs Saturday mornings at 10:06 on WTOP-1500

Better link, hopefully (scroll down to find archived addresses)
Captain Amazing, I live in the Kansas City area. What resource will you consult now that you know that?

There’s no list of stations, but there is a “Subscribe to Radio Address Podcast” link.
Just a few minutes ago, in real time, on an NPR broadcast I heard President Bush refer to “my weekly television and radio address.” So now I have another question: Is the weekly radio address also televised?
The white house usually has a video version of the radio address story. I’ve never seen it on TV, but I think it’s at least possible that some stations televise it.
KCCV apparently runs the weekly address.
Googling around trying to find a list of stations that broadcast the president’s address I came across this old thread that I don’t feel was ever satisfactorily answered. Every now and then I hear a news blurb regarding something the president stated in his weekly radio address. I have never happen to come across the actual address on any station anywhere.
I realize that the address is available online in transcript, podcast and video format. I’m not interested in that. I am interested only in the actual terrestrial radio broadcast. It seems like the White House goes out of their way to make the address accessible, yet they don’t seem to have a list of radio stations known to air the address.
Your profile says that you are in Wisconsin. If you can pull in WBBM (780 AM or 105.9 FM) in Chicago, they broadcast it in full every week as well as the Republican response. They just put it on every Sunday morning (I don’t know the exact time) with no announcement or introduction. I am sure you can contact them if you need the exact time.
