I tend to avoid commercial radio, but, being in Silicon Valley I can
cofortably stay to the 'left of the dial'. And, considering KQED the NPR
(though probably the most commerical of the PBS stations) is in
consistantly in the top 10 of the stations, and Howard Stern has always had
problems here, I think he's being carried on the third station in the seven
years I've been here.
But, I'm just saddened that I can't pick up any of the micro-broadcasters,
who are mostly in the Berkely area.
