I arrived in the Delaware Valley in 1979 when WFLN was both on AM and FM. At that time, they were better than the classical options where I'd been (Cincinnati and Buffalo...though Cincinnati's situation has improved since WGUC and WVXU bifurcated their offerings).
WWFM is certainly a decent station but it's a tough catch in Philly, I believe...they've posted something cryptic on their website hinting at impending availability in both NYC and Philadelphia -- I wonder if they're going to be offered via someone's HD2 or HD3 service? WWFM has a low power translator up here in Allentown, thankfully...as does WRTI. Frankly, while I fully admit that real radio has "romance" that Internet radio does not, I can get a decent wifi radio for less muss & fuss (and fewer $$) than a decent tuner and antenna. With a daughter in college, that's an important consideration! Rich C On Thu, Feb 17, 2011 at 9:34 PM, Fred Zalupski <[email protected]> wrote: > I still prefer analog RF emissions whenever possible.
