My Infinite Dial, Part II - R&B/Hip-Hop/Urban AC/R&B Oldies

Written Feb. 2, 2010 by Sean Ross in Content + Internet Radio + Terrestrial Radio with 2 Comments

I'm sharing the stations that I've bookmarked now that I'm finally streaming mobile audio. Here's the R&B/Hip-Hop list. Ground rules are the same as Friday's Top 40 list -- no New York stations (they're on my car presets), and who I've chosen isn't necessarily a reflection of my favorites as much as the stations that were easiest to grab from the various aggregators, and stations that filled a need that wasn't necessarily satisfied by a local.

KBFM (Wild 104) McAllen/Brownsville, Texas
KFZX (Z105.9) Lafayette, La.
KHHT (Hot 92.3) Los Angeles
KHYL (V101.5) Sacramento, Calif.
KKDA-FM (K104) Dallas (and wish that KKDA-AM was available)
KMEL San Francisco
KRJO (OI' Skool 1680) Monroe, La.

Agreed with WGVN, KRJO and I also wish KKDA-AM was available, I have written to Service Broadcasting more than once. I also like WATV-AM Birmingham, AL for classic soul.
