FM radio for FT
I don't watch much TV. Didn't have one until into my second year. However, I enjoy music, especially commercial-free.
Over the years, I've tried Sirius - went through the decades: 60s, 70s, some 80s, even tried 50s - which eventually got repetitious. Same with Pandora et al.
Couple summers ago I stayed in St. Augustine and discovered a Jacksonville over-the-airways radio station, WKTZ, run by a local college. The station has since ceased over-the-air transmission and is strictly an internet-streaming station. (They sold their FM dial position to a Christian Radio concern.)
Fantastic, time-of-your-life music: Frank Sinatra, Vic Damone, Doris Day, Judy Garland, Johnny Mathis, Ferrante and Teicher, Andy Williams, Perry Como, Dinah Shore, Julie London, Ray Conniff, Percy Faith, Henry Mancini...
The commercials are virtually non-existent; each hour a few Public Service Announcements and a plug or two for the college.
While other streaming radio services are available, I use "Streema" to connect. On a laptop, go to www.streema.com then do a search for "WKTZ". Mostly, I use my phone hooked up to small speakers. I downloaded the Streema App from the Google Play Store, then searched for "WKTZ".
Using my phone, I can bluetooth it to the truck radio while driving.
No, I do not work for nor benefit from the radio station, the college, Streema, Google or anyone else.
I'm simply sharing what I enjoy.
