New York Radio

[LDR]

Usually before I travel somewhere, I listen to the local radio stations for a week or so beforehand. It helps me settle quicker when visiting places I've not been before.

Anyway, I'm off to New York in a couple of months and would like some recommendations of any NY radio stations that are worth listening to.

I'm not so interested in music but more talk and news.

Any help with this would be much appreciated.

Cheers. :cool:

For news stuff (although it's more on a rolling basis) there's also 1010 WINS: http://www.wins.com/

Also there's Free FM, which is mostly talk oriented at a twenty-something audience with some music programmes at night: http://www.923freefm.com/
