If radio wasn't absolute shit 'round here (nothing but commercials, Christian talk, and bad country), I would actually rock one of these if they became available again.
Step 1: make a low power FM station Step 2: use this to listen Step 3: profit!
Forget FCC licenses! Let's do pirate radio.
24/7 loop of the theme for pirates of the caribean.
Heh. Carry around 3 devices:
An MP3 player or my phone for Spotify, one of those portable FM transceiver things, and this GameBoy radio. Use the transceiver to get my music from the MP3 player/phone to blast over the air on an empty band, and tune the radio to that channel.
Couldn't be simpler!
Change those earbuds at some point.
There's a radio station in Ohio called The Summit and it's only been around for a few years but they are locally owned. They play new music, local stuff, old singles most people have never heard and more. On saturdays they turn it over to older people for polkas, spanish music etc. On sundays they play Americana and a Canadian music history show
It's been a real game changer for our radio scene. I've discovered a bunch of good songs thanks to them, here's a link to listen if anyone is interested
..........why are they asking people to donate their car? Do the staff just not have cars?
That's a good question maybe it's getaway cars for their crimes against iHeart Media lol
Seriously though I think they know mechanics that can sell the pieces and parts of cars. Very convenient for the original owner (they get a tax break) and makes some cash for the radio station
You're not missing much now sadly. It's all iHeartRadio now. Every single goddamn station.
All the good music has moved over to HD Radio. There are very few stations in most markets, but the ones that do exist almost always play stuff you won't hear on the FM dial.
