The Walrus is my new favorite local radio station! I don't know if I'm the youngest person to yelp…read morethis, but I don't care. For the longest time, I've been one of the San Diegans who have been victims of listening to overplayed songs. Yes, I'm talking to you Z90, Channel 933, and even my long-time faves, 92.5, 96.5 and 103.7. The Walrus never plays the same song on the same day, and rarely, if ever plays the same song on the same week. Listeners can even input songs they want to or don't want to hear. The song list includes a great, eclectic mix of rock, R&B and some disco songs from the 60s, 70s and early 80s. I grew up listening to 96.5 (when it played mostly 70s/80s stuff), my parents' original CDs, and their karaoke singing. Some of the Walrus' songs bring back great childhood memories. Out of the stations that play mellow music in the evening, the Walrus' choice of slow jams is my favorite. These qualities alone sell the station to me, but to top it off, the station has the "Breakfast with the Beatles" program every Sunday, 9 AM-12 noon! Each Sunday, the Beatles playlist has a common theme, such as "Beatles songs with the best lyrics" or the Beatles Anthology. Great for Beatles fans like me, or people who want to learn about the band. I don't know if I'm lucky enough or if the Walrus has improved the quality of their signals, but my car receives clear reception of the station. I have no problems hearing the station from the South Bay all the way to some parts of Laguna Beach! I loved how I heard the Chi-Lites' "Have You Seen Her," Tom Jones' "It's Not Unusual" (I thought of "the Carlton dance" from Fresh Prince) and "Morning Has Broken" back to back this morning.

Really? you're worse than KPBS - (and that's saying A LOT!!!) AND you have the Gall to ask for car donations when you say you are commercial free? (ahem, broadcasting Mexican Government political messages after every other piece even though it's not for a business !!!! [though that's debateable] ) IS the same as advertising. Period. Seriously people, I'm going out tomorrow and buying a new car stereo so I can hook up my Iphone. XLNC is one of the reasons FM radio needs to be cremated and buried. RIP.

need some good hip hop? i am talking hands-on, that's-the-shit-playing-right there, good hip hop?…read morecheck out earthbound radio then. an internet based underground hip hop station hailing from unlikely san diego providing you with the urban soundtrack to your soul. now i've been lucky enough to see and be a part of one their broadcasts and i have to say, the crew running this station is tight. they all treat each other like family and have a uncanny sense of both professionalism and responsibility. responsibility in the sense that they'll only play good shit. they won't bother with anything less and, there is no program director either. there is no pressure from above to pander to listeners unfit of good music. at nights it's all live DJ's turntablelism picking it and mixing it on the spot and brewing it good with a series of effects and mixers every night starting at 8pm and going until midnight with the added effect of a live webcam broadcasting their vinyl acrobatics. the rest of the time is regular DJ's dropping some fat beats on your skinny frequencies. it's good shit brothers and sisters. go on, tune in, space out.

The only way to know what I want to hear again is to jot down the time that a certain piece was playing, otherwise, unless you know it by heart, you'll never be able to discern who or what is playing. As Francis stated, 90.7 is no more and that was the station that I used to tune into before 104.9 There are no commercials, except maybe info on upcoming shows in and around town.

I do NOT want to give this station 5 stars, but I simply must. The station continues to do what I…read moremost love: present classical music in a strong and round-the-clock format. NOTE: The other review site, for frequency 90.7, will be useless because the station has moved to a more powerful transmitter at FM 104.9. Also, the fund raising is NOT nonstop, their campaigns are short. This is a channel worthy of a listen, if not support, from the discerning classical music aficionado. They do not limit themselves to recorded performances of old music but actually venture into neoclassical and modern composers' works. I turn here for classical, and I recommend anyone waiting for KPBS' "filler" programming at night do so, as well. XLNC 1 is superior in content and in delivery format, and is not eliminating functions such as news and commentary, as KPBS is wont to do. The station, mostly free now of the founder's widow and her marrow-sucking proclivities, is doing well and sounding great. Try them at their new home and enjoy!
