This is a free radio station that you set up to play the types of songs you want to hear.

And did I mention it was free?

How free will it be...

Went out on the boat with my father this weekend and we noticed 104.9 isn't oldies anymore. More of a classic rock station.

What happened to the oldies station? They were always in touch with what was going on around the lakes region. Did it move to another station?

Oldies 104.9 was the station we always listened to on the lake.

Looks like we might have to do a sirius satelite radio subscription for 3 months.

GWC... darlin'.... you know, technology has come a long, long ways since dialup...

but seriously... if you're already paying for a SmartPhone (data subscript through Verizon or AT&T or whatever) and can work it through your Bluetooth speakers, then why not? I'd rather put my money into a set of speakers ($29 at BJ's Wholesale) than $12.95+6.99/MONTH! into a satellite radio. I have a V-Cast (Verizon) phone and found the subscript for data is about the same as my Metrocast internet cable subscript - once the cell signal gets better in the area, then I plan to switch over so I can go on-line whenever.

Another choice is loading up the ol' iPod, getting an FM Transmitter (look in CD accessories - what fit in your Sony DiscMan as an FM Tansmitter will work for your iPod) and for $15 you can transmit what's on your iPod to ANY radio within about 30'.

It's all good....
