The non-commercial band in the United States is 88-92FM. All the best (many college) stations will be in this band: KFJC, WFMU, KEXP... Radio is alive and well in the U.S., its just not commercial radio.
- adamweld 6y agoKEXP is amazing. Highly recommend people check them out (online at kexp.org if you're not in seattle).
- m0xte 6y agoThey have some good stuff on YouTube as well.
- dreamcompiler 6y agoAgreed and thanks for the reminder. I used to listen to KEXP online even when I lived in Seattle. Phones are more common than radios these days.
- Gaelan 6y agoHuh. KUOW, (one of) Seattle’s NPR stations, is on 94.9. Wonder what the story there is
- cowsandmilk 6y agoThe band was donated to them by KING
- dacohenii 6y ago88.1-91.9 MHz is reserved for noncommercial educational (NCE) stations, so only they can use those frequencies. However, there's nothing that disallows NCE stations from operating on unrestricted frequencies (so long as they are licensed, of course). It's not very common, though, because radio spectrum is expensive.
