Radio XY Mobile

Puter schmuter. Here's how to tune in to Radio XY while you're on the go...

iPhone

A free application called FStream allows you to tune in to Radio XY on your iPhone. [ Link to iTunes page]

The first time you use it, you'll need to manually enter the URL of the stream. Then it can be added to your favorites, making it easy to listen next time.

The URL you will need is: http://live.str3am.com:2120/listen.pls

Nick, a Radio XY listener since terrestrial 97X went off the air in 2004, has given FStream a try and says that he now listens to Radio XY in his car, making his commute much more enjoyable!

So, if you're an iPhone owner, go ahead and download this free app and take Radio XY with you wherever you go!

Nick also sent a $50 donation along with his message, having also contributed to the station's recovery after an expensive hard drive crash in 2005. Thanks Nick, your support is appreciated!

Palm Centro

Listen to Radio XY on your Palm Centro smartphone.

PocketTunes comes pre-installed in the Centro. It doesn't have an "Open URL" function directly, but you can type the stream URL into the web browser (Blazer), and it will open PocketTunes automatically.

The URL you need is: http://live.str3am.com:2120/listen.pls

You only have to get it working once, then you can bookmark the station from within PocketTunes. (Menu/M to bookmark the station once it's playing, then Menu/K to access your bookmarks.)

Lemme know if you have questions!

Ok, wow. This is an excerpt from yp.shoutcast.com just now:
15 [Alternative College 80s R] 3WK Classic Alternative Radio
90045:guns n` roses/rocket queen - appetite for destruction/geffen
13/500 96 MP3

Ok, ummmm, isn't the existence of GNR exactly the reason for alternative radio in the first place, especially back in the 90's (and this is a 90's stream) ???

And to think I once recommended 3wk as one of the top two streams on the internet... hahaha

Happy Inauguration Day 2009!!!


Hmmmm. I wonder if indie 103.1 will return, due to public demand and poor performance of the new format, the same reasons KCNL returned in SJ...

(after all, there are no shortage of Spanish-language outlets in socal....)

Another thought... 5 years was an amazing run for an amazing station. I was surprised, although enormously pleased, that it lasted more than 2....

1.18.09

The BEST terrestrial radio station in the WORLD has gone off the air.

Arrrrrgh I'm so upset. And three years to the month after the upheaval of New Year's 06.

At least they're going 21st century and can still be heard online. For now, some of the dj's are keeping their shows... we'll see how long that lasts.

I particularly recommend Suicide Girls Radio and Neon Noise.

It's... yet another... sad day in the history of alternative radio.

:-( :-(

Farewell to KDLD Santa Monica, KDLE Newport Beach. fm independiente, indie 103.1

Thanks for existing. You will not be forgotton.





The Chaos Top 50 of 2008



Radio XY now accepting donations

Running a medium-sized internet station like Radio XY has some raw costs that can't be avoided. (Thanks to StreamGuys for keeping prices as low as possible, while at the same time providing high-quality bandwidth and unparalled service!)

Normally I prefer to pay all the station expenses myself, but the time has once again come to ask for your help. The last time I had to do this was in 2005, after an extended period "between jobs". I now find myself in the same situation.

Any help you could offer would be gratefully accepted! [Donate]
