| CKUA | live | Edmonton,
Alberta, Canada |
Eclectic music selections, but heavy on folk, Celtic, etc.
This is definitely my favourite station. You might want to check out their schedule. |
| WMNF | live | Tampa,
Florida |
Free-form radio (the DJ plays what he/she likes).
Bluegrass early Saturday morning. Other folk, too, especially on weekends. You might want to check their schedule. If you want you can also visit their archives and hear all recent shows as audio-on-demand. |
| WKSU | live | Kent,
Ohio | Mostly classical music, but some folk and bluegrass on weekends. Check their schedule for times. They also have a nice folk archive (audio-on-demand) |
| WEBX | live | Champaign/ Urbana, Illinois |
Commercial station in a college town, with rock/pop/folk mix. |
| Eldorádio | live | Prague Czech Republic |
Ok, the announcers speak Czech instead of English, but if you can deal with that, you'll find the music they play is a nice mix including folk, bluegrass and similar types of music. |
| Solid Gold Bluegrass | live | eastern Tennessee | 24 hours a day, mostly bluegrass with occasional hours of gospel, guitar, and Flatt/Skruggs. |
| RTR-FM | live | Perth, W.A. | Folk West was a 2-hour weekly show that aired each Sunday from noon to 2 p.m. W.A.T. until November, 2000. Taking its place is a new show, Acoustic Routes, that airs on Monday evenings, 7—9 pm W.A.T. What time is it in Perth right now? |
