Hello everyone. I'm new to this board as you can tell. I'm supposed to be moving to Cairo, NY with my family within the next few months. I really don't want to but I have no choice. I'm moving from NYC (Queens to be exact). I've been reading up a little bit on Cairo online so I think I know most of what I need to know. A couple of things that I havnt found any information about... does anyone know the radio stations that play in Cairo? There were quite a bit of radio shows that I listen to here in NYC (mostly talk radio) and I want to know if I will still be able to listen to them. I somehow doubt it but it's worth a shot to ask. If I cant get a couple of radio stations when I move to Cairo, is there someway i can put up some kind of antenna and be able to pick up those stations being that we are not real far from where the shows are transmitting from? I'm just asking because I would hate to not be able to hear my shows and I even checked to see if I can hear the shows online but I cant.
Anyway, any feedback would be appreciated. Thank you
Most radio stations now simulcast on the internet or offer podcast downloads of their shows. If you are able to get high-speed internet, and if you are locating in the town of Cairo you probably can, you should be able to find the shows you like.
From Cairo, you can probably get WGY from Schenectady (I know you can definitely get WGY from the Catskill area on route 23) . They seem to have talk shows all day long.
Hopefully you'll be busy enough here every day that it won't matter if you can get the stations or not. Just in case, what specific ones are you looking for? I may be able to fill in the blanks for you.
By now I hope you have adjusted to life in a small town. Someday you will treasure the experience, and may even want to bring up your own children there. I raised my two sons in Cairo, and it was the best place to grow up. We all look back and consider Cairo our home, 30 years later!
It'll grow on you....don't fight it.

It sounds like you are making a very big adjustment. I will be honest with you the radio stations around here and the reception is rather poor. I used to really like our one local station The Cat until they changed it all over to lite fm music and I now I hate it. I do not know anything about antennas for radio stations but maybe you could ask at radio shack or best buy and they could help. Satellite radio is alright out here, its fuzzes out in a few small places but thats it. In anycase, I wish you the best of luck. I know I wouldn't want to move from the country to the city and the other way around must be just as daunting. Take care.
