I still prefer analog RF emissions whenever possible. True romance.
Classical broadcasting in Philly has been a disappointment for all of
the time I've been here (since '83). I could never warm up to WFLN.
WRTI? No. No. No. If your neighbor is willing to use a decent tuner and
antenna I recommend WWFM 89.1 out of Trenton any time and even more
highly recommend WPRB Princeton 103.3 in the morning. WWFM is quite good
but Princeton's diverse programming is an unequaled treasure.

I can send over a pile of suggestions offline in that category, as I
listen to classical music quite a bit. It's a category that
transcends languages well too. Such national "public service"
broadcasters as BBC Radio 3, SR Klassik (Sweden), and Swiss Radio's
classical station are all quite good. NRK out of Norway has decent
listening.
For global classical in English there's Australia's ABC Classic FM,
RNZ Concert, and RNW (yes, that RNW) Classical.

Good timing, Rich. Just yesterday I was telling an neighbor (who bemoans
the loss of classical radio stations in Philadelphia) that he should
consider getting an internet 'radio'. I just forwarded this article to him.
Thanks!

Several good choices here...
It's your best standalone approach for listening to those broadcasters
that no longer specifically target North America: Radio Australia,
BBC, DW, RNW, R. Sweden, R. Australia, RFI, etc...
