What are you favorite Talk Radio Stations here in the Triangle? My favorites are:

91.5 FM ~ WUNC National Public Radio (NPR)

680 AM ~ WPTF News Talk Radio

850 AM ~ The Buzz Sports Radio

While all of these stations cover national news and sports, they are also a great source of local information and are a great way to get the inside scoop about things going on in the Traingle Area.

Well, I'm not really a Sports Radio girl here in ACC country, but I'd add FM Talk 101.1 to that list. I'm a Clark Howard fan, and they play his show live from 1-4 I think. AM 680 plays the repeat show in the mornings, 9-12. You can tell I spend a lot of time in my car! I download Wait Wait Don't Tell Me from NPR to listen to during the week as well. Probably my favorite show on the radio.

I'll listen to NPR once in a while.
And when I can, I'll try to catch "Free Speech Radio" on WNCU, 90.7 fm.

Do any of the western Triangle folks know if WCHL still plays Air America? My AM reception is crappy.

I listen to NPR most of the time. I'm going to miss it when I move to Wake Forest, because the reception up there is a little fuzzy.

Really? I haven't had a problem - it usually gets fuzzy for me about the time I hit Youngsville or Franklin County, but not Wake Forest. Someone can probably give you advice on how to boost the signal...

Well...since I only listen to it in my car, I don't know if there's any way to boost the signal except perhaps to attach a bunch of aluminum foil to my car's antenna

^ they do a simulcast on 90.9 out of Rocky Mount, you could try. I doubt that's closer to Wake Forest than their Chapel Hill transmitter....but...with FM radio waves, you never know.

Thanx! I'll try that out!

101.1
Clark Howard is great.
Neil Boortz is tiresome and sophomoric, but more innovative than most other talk hosts when he isn't preening or disgusting. His brief segment at noon with Jamie Dupree(sp?) often showcases Jamie letting some of the air out of Boortz, and is also often interesting in its dissection of the DC cesspool.

680 WPTF
Clark Howard reruns are good if you miss the previous day.
Rush for 3 hours keeps me on FM.
The 3 to 6 slot is the choir singing to itself.
I like Ann Clapp on Saturday mornings, and Jack Handel, Handel on the Law on weekends.

Enough of talk/blabber?? Go to WCPE www.theclassicalstation.org and listen via the internet. Ahh-h-h-h-h.... Peace!
