<p>I just dropped by this board to see what, if anything, there was about Columbia's radio station, WKCR-FM, only to find that there's almost nothing at all.</p>

<p>That's a shame. This radio station (which can be accessed on-line) is an absolute jewel -- one of the very best radio stations in the country, in terms of the breadth of their musical programming, the musical intelligence of their hosts, etc.</p>

<p>They're currently in the midst of a long Benny Goodman marathon, in connection with the centenary of his birthday, but will return to their regular programming after that (and in the meantime you could do a whole lot worse than to listen for hours on end to the great BG and the myriad different musical settings in which he performed). </p>

<p>WKCR</a> 89.9 FM NY</p>

<p>(P.S. At the moment, they seem to be having some technical problems with their web site; if you run into a problem, try "reloading" [or whatever the term is]. And if that doesn't work, well, just try again later.)</p>

<p>P.P.S. If you’re having trouble accessing this station via its web site, another route to it, if you operate in the Mac/iTunes world, is through its link at iTunes via the Radio (then College/University) file. (And, I suppose, there may be something similar available for those who don’t use a Mac.)</p>

<p>Wow… this is awesome. It makes me want to go to Columbia even more. I’m a huge fan of Radio.</p>
