Very rare these days. I live in Ky.and I can tell you that I don't have a WION in my area.I've been listening to the WION internet stream for about 9 months now and all I can say is it's so refreshing to hear live local radio in Amazing AM Stereo. WION truly is radio the way it should be! Love it!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05914586588282652829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6544454840161516748.post-44037643524123406942017-09-13T08:55:11.686-07:002017-09-13T08:55:11.686-07:00Same here in the UK.

The big corporate groups have utterly killed local radio, leaving a few non-profit "community stations", with heavy restrictions and flea power to try and fill the gap. Very sad. <br /><br />A few years back, when visiting adifferent part of the country, I'd always enjoy tuning in to the local stations. Now, more often than not, all you find is the "local in name only" feed of the big central corporate, with maybe a local news/weather/traffic feed and if you're lucky, a local opt-out breakfast show. Just enough to fulfill the terms of the licence.<br /><br />Corporate greed is destroying radio.Cookiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05769569200884830360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6544454840161516748.post-34812810165427614922017-09-13T08:34:26.429-07:002017-09-13T08:34:26.429-07:00Well written and appreciated!
