Hello.

Just moved to NYC and am looking for some really good fun radio stations. I like to listen to a bit of everything......

jazz
R&B/Soul
Alternative

and IMPORTANTLY, a good NEWS station.....world news, not just local news.

And any other funky stations. I hear that NYC has some of the best DJ's and radio stations.

Please advise.
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.

Dance/pop: 103.5 KTU

Spanish language/music: MEGA 97.9

Standard top 40: 100.3, 95.5

classical: wqxr

NPR: 93.9 fm

There is a chart of all this information in the NYTimes Arts section.

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