KPIG is the answer to radio listening. Its Americana, its Bluesy, its Country, Its Roots Rock, left…read moreleaning news reporting, surf reports, THC induced mellow and rough and ragged but totally right tunes at anytime. KPIG is based out of Freedom, Calif. The Bay area listens to a broadcast that is sent from an old AM station in Piedmont and we are blessed with greatness. Listen for a while and you will hear stuff that makes you smile. Warning: You will not be satisfied with KPIG If you are one of the folks who like to say "I like all types of music. Anything but country" In that case, stick to your FM Stations and enjoy your GM commercials, fascist.

KPOO 89.5 FM is my all-time favorite radio station. They have the most eclectic, unique, and…read moredifferent programs of music. Their DJs clearly love what they do. It's about as non-commercial, local, and community as you'll ever get. My current favorite program is Wake the Town on Wednesday afternoons with Adam, but there are so many more that I love - Gramophoney Baloney, The Power of Blues Compels You, Cuba Canta....they're all just. So. Good. Support local radio, local music, and throw a donation to KPOO. It's 89.5 FM. I will always, always listen to them for as long as they're around, which I hope will be for a very, very long time. Five stars and all the love to you guys and ladies of KPOO.

*** My fave radio station when in the Bay area by far. ***…read more So I fly to OAK for a quick one day trip. Grab a rental car. That is the only time that I really listen to radio nowadays. If not for rentals, who knows? Radio could end next day? But I digress. KISS-FM is the only station on the FM dial that moves me. It takes you back a time when R&B/Pop was fun and alive, '70s and '80s mostly. When I tuned in mid-day I heard this: "I'm yo boogieman, that's what I am" ... KC & Sunshine Band "We're ridin' on the groove line tonite (oo-ee-oo)" ... Heatwave "Der Kommissar (ut oh oh) blah blah blah (ut oh oh)" ... Falco "Love me wild and love me crazy, so we can get off" ... Foxy "wikki-wikki-wikki-wikki, wikki-wikki-wikki-wikki" ... Newcleus *** I love these dusties. Keep spinning this stuff, KISS! ***

It's like a college radio station, but not so college and for the public. I listened to it a few times. It's eclectic and you never know what to expect. It's awesome that people start projects like this out of passion and enthusiasm for radio. I hope it floats and continues. It would be so awesome to be involved with this station in SF.

I was introduced to the station via Roll Over Easy, a show that airs Thursday mornings. I was immediately drawn in by how Sequoia and The Early Bird made me feel a new love and appreciation for San Francisco, especially during such an ugly time politically in this country, and how they use Twitter to build community around the show. I've made real life friends because of this. BFF.fm puts the "community" in community radio. Thanks!

Radio Valencia is an internet radio station staffed by a collective of DJs who pay dues to support…read morethe station. From the perspective of a DJ it's been a really good experience for me. I came here with zero experience, trained here and took a shift. It is truly free from radio here and you really can play anything you want to play. It's a nice studio too.... A lot of DJs however use the studio so maintenance can be an issue but things do get worked out reasonably quickly. The only management here is steering committee which I have found to be usually pretty hands off. In a lot of ways the station depends on individuals being responsible, kind and using good judgement. In my experience I have found this to be mostly the case. I recommend DJ ing here and also listening to Radio Valencia.
