Best radio stations in Manhattan?
 

Hello.<BR><BR>Just moved to NYC and am looking for some really good fun radio stations. I like to listen to a bit of everything......<BR><BR>jazz<BR>R&B/Soul<BR>Alternative<BR><BR>and IMPORTANTLY, a good NEWS station.....world news, not just local news.<BR><BR>And any other funky stations. I hear that NYC has some of the best DJ's and radio stations. <BR><BR>Please advise.<BR>Cheers.

Hardly a "fun" station, but I like CD 101.9. Soft jazz, can have it on all day. For news I likde CBS newsradion 88.

For world and local news, 1010 WINS (AM) is "the most listened-to radio station in the nation"...according to their ads. I listen to both this and CBS 88 in the morning. They're pretty similar, overall, but CBS also airs Yankee games.

How about some good music stations for pop/rock, alternative, acid jazz, R&B/Soul?

For a little bit of everything, try WFMU 91.1 FM. This has everything from klezmer to digeridoo.<BR><BR>Dance/pop: 103.5 KTU<BR><BR>Spanish language/music: MEGA 97.9<BR><BR>Standard top 40: 100.3, 95.5<BR><BR>classical: wqxr<BR><BR>NPR: 93.9 fm<BR><BR>There is a chart of all this information in the NYTimes Arts section.

LA MEGA 90 something point something good Merengue and Salso... <BR>nyc has the best RAP station on earth too.. too much puffy crap though ..
