Most Portland radio stations now stream their signal on the Internet. Drill into a local station by clicking FM/AM, select the call letters and then click into the station’s web site. Look for a link that usually says “listen live”.
After activating a “listen” link, the signal should stream to the active audio player in your computer or device. Some station streams require you to play them with an audio player. The free & open source audio player VLC is one of the best.
Here are a few recommended internet stations to sample:
✴KUSA - A century of American music
✴Kisn Good Guys - Real oldies radio returns
✴KPSU - Portland State University
✴House of Sound - Free-form artistic Portland pirate radio
✴Portland Radio Authority - Ambient to hip-hop to indie rock
✴Kzme.fm - A new Portland fm to hit the air at 91.1 someday
✴The Source - Smooth Jazz to go nicely with your gin & tonic
