KGNU Community Radio

My fav, fav, fav is Meredith Carson who often hosts the Friday Morning Sound Alternative. She plays lots of New Orleans musicians which pleases me to no end.
Blues Legacy on Friday nights is another consistently good show.
Lots of talent at this station.

My favorite radio station whilst driving… LOVE the diversity of programming!!!

This station kicks ass.
They have the perfect balance of talk/​news and music.
And they also play the best talk/​news and music.
This is where I listen to Democracy Now, pacifica radio, etc.
Its also where I’ve discovered so many great bands.
Granted they play a lot of stuff I dont care for, they make up for it by playing stuff that is simply amazing and you would never hear anywhere else!

KGNU is certainly one of the best radio stations anywhere in America. Such varied programming, and also an opportunity for inspired people in the community to learn how to create a radio show.
I appreciate the intelligence and wisdom and most importantly– the LOVE — with which KGNU is operated.
Thank you KGNU.

As I pointed out with my review of KBCO, I’m like oil and radio stations are like water, but KGNU stands out from the pack.
Since KGNU is an independent community radio station, that is fueled not by advertisments but by community donations, you don’t get the same sort of feel that you get with most major radio stations. The fact that you can listen to them online (
) in hi-​def streams definitely helps this otherwise obscure station get the attention it deserves.
And the music they play!!! This isn’t the same old pop top 20 you hear at every single mall and commercial. No no… you are finally listening to a station with djs who care about pushing the envelope a little bit and playing the stuff that you don’t hear all the time. This of course is because most of the djs at KGNU are there because they love what they are doing, not because they are getting paid huge sums (or anything for that matter). I’ve been inside the studios myself several times, and I must admit… I was inpressed.
I’m not saying I like everything they play, but they really do have interesting shows… and more than once I actually wrote the names of artists down I heard on KGNU. How often do you do that when you are listening to the radio?
As a community radio station, I think you can even dj yourself… of course this might be at 4 am… but hey, its about time they had a drum and bass show eh? Or maybe you are more into Tuva throat-​singing, I can’t say.
Keep the independent tunes coming KGNU.
