There really are only 2 (if you mean AM talkers), 590 KLBJ and 1370 AM. I listen to 1370 for Phil Hendrie, and KLBJ for some other stuff... you can also pick up 1200 WOAI from San Antonio almost like a local station. That's the Clear Channel flagship station, the company is located in SA.

Then of course I listen to KUT 90.5 for the great NPR shows, some of which originate from UT. But it's not all talk.

XM. I dislike talk on my radio, be it DJs blabbering or typical talk format. Radio is for music! (And en pee arrrrr!)

I'd settle for MUSIC radio...not canned, if you please. A little local traffic and weather might be nice.

We're in and out of the flyovers up here in north north Austin...sat radio looses some of its luster with all the concrete. Great on the road, however.

KUT for me. Just the facts, no spin. I know some say it is a liberal bias, but I think they cover both sides. I do wish that after you donate they would have an option to not listen to the pleas for money.

I sometimes listen to Sergeant Sam and the gang in the morning but have really begun to enjoy listening to Lisa Fritsch on KLBJ.
