My Infinite Dial, Part III - Country
Written Feb. 22, 2010 by Sean Ross in Content + Internet Radio + Terrestrial Radio with 2 Comments
Over the last few weeks, I've been discussing the radio stations that have, thus far, gotten a "button" on the iPhone that I've been using over the past month or two as the world's most sophisticated transistor radio. This week, in time for Country Radio Seminar, it's Country radio's turn.
The same caveats apply here as to my Top 40 and Urban buttons. The choices reflect the ease with which I found stations through various streaming apps. If you're here, it doesn't mean I've had a chance to listen yet. If you're not here, it doesn't mean I don't like your station. It's more of a reflection on how easy your station is to set as a "favorite" in some cases. At least one station that would be on the list, KKGO (Go Country 105) Los Angeles doesn't have a working link in my stream aggregator app of preference; (the app's issue, not the station's fault).
Here are my Mainstream and Classic Country bookmarks, so far:

If your stream aggregator app of choice is WunderRadio, you'll be pleased to know that a working link for KKGO has been added by someone...
Don't forget SomaFM's classic country/western channel "Boot Liquor".
