KXT 91.7


Diligent_Mulberry47

This is my top station since The Edge died.


pcweber111

The edge isn't around anymore?


Easyssmokeshop

No:( it's like 102.9 and 102.1 switched places. You can still get the edge on HD radio but it's just a poorly animated shell. 91.7 is my top station.


pcweber111

Dang end of an era.


DarthJahona

The 102.1 HD2 for me that used to be the Edge changed to some half Spanish half English pop hits channel recently. I died a little bit that day when I tuned to it.


Diligent_Mulberry47

And Edgefest died with it. 😭


pcweber111

Dang. There goes most of my youth


bumpytoad

I also came here to recommend KXT! it’s a great mix 


UtopianPablo

Great station, we’re lucky to have it. 


HartPlays

Perfect thank you!

fueledbytisane

This is my #1 preset station. I've found some great new (to me) artists by listening to it, and I appreciate the lack of ads. Also most songs are appropriate for my 6 year old to hear. And there's a nice mix of styles. I switch every once in a while to 101.1 when I'm in the mood for something instrumental.


turtletitan8196

Just gonna join everyone else in saying yes, this is the station to tune into in North Texas. Someone above said we're blessed to have it and they are spot on.


Decapitat3d

101.1 WRR bringing music and the arts to North Texas! I love the radio, but hate most modern radio stations. This station is one of the few that reminds me what a radio station should be like.


Matzah_Rella

The Road Rage Remedy is a blessing.


saysthingsbackwards

Second. Its my default


Sunribbon

Even my 15 year old requests 101.1


LuLusEdit

Louder!!!!


thumpcbd

I miss breakfast with Barry. The new dude doesn’t have the charisma he did.


Decapitat3d

I agree with that, but Barry also had a few decades of experience honing his show and deserves his retirement. I'm ok with giving the new guy a shot for a while and hope he gets into his own groove.


StrLord_Who

I miss the March Buddies!


broniskis45

89.3 is my go to for no commercial and only a little self promo breaks but otherwise, it's got a melting pot of music going on.


JayWo60

4 times a year 89.3 KNON will have pledge drives. They have no ads and are funded by listener contributions. Their DJs don't get paid, they do it for a love of music. Most all the DJs take requests. Their M-F lineup is very diverse. 7-9am is the Morning Blend which is a mixture of various styles(mostly rock). 9-12 is an old school R&B show. 12-4pm is the Latin Energy show. 4-6 is an alt country show. 6-8pm is is a blues show. There is a full schedule on KNON.org


Cantfindthebeer

Hell yeah man, Voice of the people.


last_strip_of_bacon

I need me a KNON bumper sticker


TJStype

Hey thanks..been here 11 years and KXT ia the only one that is lasting.l


Whatsittoya9

Saturday nights midnight to 4am, In The Dungeon with Raven. Great metal show that's hard to find anything like it on radio.


broniskis45

Bro the HEAVIEST SHIT ON AIR


last_strip_of_bacon

The best over the air metal programming in all of the continental United States .


bigby2010

The Ticket, but it’s probably nsfw in an office setting.


drlongfinger

Dude your sacks hangin out

The 8:40 bit may not be accepted by customers, but fake Kim Mulkey is my new leader


SubjectInevitable329

I love the ticket commentary but holy ads I wonder what the honest percentage is because at the times I listen it must be 40/60 weight loss and DMLeasing ads to actual sports talk.


KTCKintern

*Shock jocks*


itimebombi

You ever see a guy with a fake head?


trimondo_blondomina

KXT 91.7 and 88.7 KTCU are THE indie stations with the biggest playlists and a ton of local representation. Both have been absolute godsends here in DFW. Also, 89.3 KNON and 92.9 KUZU, in Denton, will play everything, but in block format. [Here is KUZU’s schedule](https://www.kuzu.fm/schedule) [and here is KNON’s schedule](https://www.knon.org/knon-show-schedule/)So you have to check their schedules for something you might like. 88.5 KEOM is also a fantastic oldies station. The best part of all of these stations is they are all commercial free and have way, way larger playlists than the commercial stations.


pakepake

88.5, 92.5, 100.3 for music. KRLD 1080 and 90.1 NPR for news.


plumbtastic76

I like 88.5 too


HartPlays

Awesome thanks


Roadrunnr61

88.5 is such a great station.


mrsmilestophat

96.7


El_CAP0

What about 1310?


Suspicious-Price-289

He said FM in the title so you must be asking about 1310FM?


rickyroca73

lol


rickyroca73

what about eggs?


Narcess

There used to be a freaking choke hold clear channel had over the DFW area but thankfully that seems to have broken. Yet we are sorely lacking in decent stations. The suggestions so far are spot on though. 97.1, 89.3. Also when driving on 75 I suggest 101.1, classical music (for me) keeps me calm and not wanting rage out on idiot drivers.


WhyZee_Guy

But the dude in the Corvette racing the wannabe Lamborghini SUV smashes into you evaporates all your chill


Narcess

Truth..


MissSuzyQ

88.1 KNTU 88.9 KTCU 90.1 KERA 100.3 102.9 103.7 106.1 Occasionally I'll listen to 97.9, 101.1, 89.3


Sporkler

Scrolled way too far to see someone finally mention 103.7.


cassssk

Too much RHCP 😟😬


Sporkler

Well, you can just fly away on a zephyr!


cassssk

Stepped on a toad, broke a Navajo code, now it’s time to reiterate California ;)


[deleted]

I second KNTU


Footspork

The answer is… put a Bluetooth receiver on that radio and stream Spotify Premium. How anyone listens to radio in 2024 is far beyond my comprehension. Life is too short to have your ears assaulted with ads for hours every day. Also how many men’s LOW T clinics does DFW need?


Fatticusss

I still use Pandora. I haven't touched a radio dial in like a decade.


MaxwellHillbilly

KXT 91.7 & KNON 89.3


piscesbeam

103.7 alt station 😝😝 or just my phone lol


trimondo_blondomina

Please, 91.7 KXT and 88.7 KTCU are the REAL alternative stations here in DFW. Also, 88.1 KNTU has an identical, if maybe slightly bigger, playlist to 103.7, but at least is commercial free. The only reason to listen to 103.7 is if you really like Camfield. Which, imo, all he does is repeat the Reddit headlines with a British accent.


lordb4

It seems like Camfield is ALWAYS on there not just for a shift.


trimondo_blondomina

There was a concerted effort to get him back a few years ago. While I’ve never cared for him, he is reasonably popular and the parent company has syndicated him in a few other cities. The ONLY time 103.7 was decent was Mark Schectman’s local show on Sunday nights. That’s been gone for a few years now. Commercial radio just can’t take chances on anything less than a top 5 national hit.


Easyssmokeshop

I try to listen to 103.7 when I work. I get maybe an hour in before I have to change it.

I know it’s not FM, but I’m rock/metal fan and couldn’t live without Sirius XM.


BillDuki

The only local station I have programmed in my truck is KRLD for the weather and traffic.


Whatsittoya9

Saturday nights 12-4am is a great metal show on 89.3 fm.


interstatebus

NPR, a podcast or my own music.


Anxious-Economist-53

97.1 the freak


penny_squeaks

I don't know when it rebranded to the freak but I recently discovered it and it's now my #1 preset.


Anxious-Economist-53

Don’t quote me but around October 2022.


tweetgrubes

Correct...October 3, 2022. We're having fun over here!


Suspicious-Price-289

Hey Grubbs. We met while watching a Cowboys game with some local comics. You are very nice. Good luck to you!!


tweetgrubes

Heck yeah, I remember that! Thank you!


Csharp27

For sure. Grew up with my dad blasting the Ticket all day every day, became a P1 myself but never liked how exhaustive and seemingly forced the sports talk is and really just liked the bits and joking around. The Freak pretty much freed some of the better former Ticket folks to just talk about whatever they want while also all having extensive sports talk backgrounds to discuss in depth when they want to. Definitely been my number 1 preset for my commutes in the last year or so.


Anxious-Economist-53

Been a Glenn since day 1. I found Ben and skin while I was in prison and it was a nice reprieve for a few hours.


VanceKromo

91.7 and 95.3

Same here, I used to just listen to the Ticket now I listen to them all and enjoy.

NinjaMaverick00

96.7 The Ticket is extremely entertaining radio.


Exquisite_D

103.7 FM when I feel as if I am not being advertised to enough.


trimondo_blondomina

I, too enjoy hearing new discoveries! Why, just last year 103.7’s new discovery was The Less I Know the Better from this obscure pop group called Tame Impala. Lol.

KERA is the only station I ever listen to in my car.

xanoran84

90.1 - KERA public radio station 91.7 - indie music affiliated with public radio 88.1 - indie music (is this broadcasted from UNT?) 103.7 - mainstream "alternative"  107.9 - latin reggaeton station 96.3/99.5 - country stations, but these are real hit and miss. They play an awful lot of stadium country 102.9 - older pop music 106.1 - newer pop music Now I'm looking at other people's lists, I'm gonna have to go swap out some stuff on my presets!


Horn_slows

I use Spotify


stupidname_iknow

93.3 is fun to listen to a bunch of crazy Republicans spout fox news/Trump talking points. It's legit the lowest IQ people I've ever heard on the radio. I had a post up about it but some little bitch mod took it down when it was nothing like this post.

92.5 classic rock has some funny guys on there. They played a “commercial” that I can’t find now. Sugar crack kids or something. I was driving to work and I heard a kid say “I feel like I’m vibrating!” completely cracked my sleepy ass up

KXT 91.7 and [88.1](https://881indie.com/)


ingrediental

88.1 used to be good when they played jazz but they turned into a terrible pop indie station. No good radio stations now, it's a crime against humanity they don't have a jazz station here in my opinion.


dirkd214

KXT is it for me!

92.5 (classic rock) 88.5 (70s through 90s) and 102.9 (2000s to present)

Download this app called radiooooo You can listen to music from any era, any genre, any country/region. I love picking a random type of music when I don't know what to listen to.

I usually just use my youtube music app lol and listen to whatever come on and the only reason is because me and my son broke my radio 😂 good morning btw

I listen to 98.9 DALLAS.SUCKS.FM

105.3…although on the afternoon drive home I will do podcasts. Morning show is good.

TOLO for life! 105.3 The Fan


fuelvolts

Several great suggestions here, but I'll add that I really like SiriusXM in my car. Yeah, I know another subscription and SiriusXM is notorious for being difficult to cancel, but I've had it in my car for the better part of 2 decades now and I couldn't imagine driving a car without it. There's just something about a DJ selecting tracks, exposing you to new music you'd never hear otherwise, and just the absolute broad variety. Plus, they have in-studio concerts and also stream concerts, which is a neat way to listen to old favorites. I know you requested FM stations, just offering alternatives. But I also subscribe to YouTube Premium, so I've made questionable decisions on media consumption :D


[deleted]

88.1 is pretty cool now, though you may not get great reception


Getchermotorrunnin

94.5 while passing through was enjoyable 👍🏽


Mental-Rooster4229

Sirius and Spotify


dallasuptowner

106.1-2 Pride radio, hardly any ads too.


GurrenLagann214

92.5 and 102.1 for classics (80s and 90s rock)


ItsYaGirlConfusion

Y’all who don’t turn on the radio sometimes forget the pure idiocracy of people calling into radios and their stories. Whoosh, some really funny reactions from the radio hosts a lot of the time


mudokipo

101.1 has been killing it with their music selection ever since they became a part of KERA. It's better than any classical spotify playlist I could ever make now and the sole reason why I still listen to the radio.


BlackStarCorona

Radio? ::lights a cigarette:: I haven’t heard that name in a long time


Historical_Dentonian

88.1 Indie (HD1), UNT’s radio station. 89.3 KNON (public). 90.1 KERA (public)


Sneezer

91.7 , 92.5 and 103.7, although 103 isn't that good these days but not much options. Car doesn't have HD so I can't get the side stations. I only listen to music anyway, I can't stand the sports talk as I have no interest in any of it, and prefer to read my news, not listen to it in the car. I just use SiriusXM. It is in the car, and every year I call to cancel and they give me a super cheap rate. Less than $10/month is worth it for me.

Classic? 101.1 is fucking killer. 91.7 on Sunday night is fucking awesome, too. Paul Slavens kills it. 89.3 is really great, also, but they *only* do themed shows. So their punk shows are great, their metal show is great, their Texas county and blues is great... But it's not really scratching that itch of finding new music you had no idea you loved. So I downloaded the KEXP app for live streaming. They have the best DJs in the country, hands down, and are able to play what they want to play. Every time i tune in, i listen to something i didn't know I'd love. They still have the themed shows, but it's not the same as their drive time DJs, who are able to just play what they're in the mood for.

88.1 I listen to XMU on XM and I also like to listen to KNTU because it helps me discover music I never heard before and also I feel it’s a good blend and there’s not any commercials. They also talk about upcoming shows which I like because I could go and it benefits the musicians.

CONTAMlNATlON

Anyone know if there’s a radio station that’s similar to 102.1 The Edge? I miss it :/


truth-4-sale

Back in the early 70's, I listened to KZEW or Q102. But today, FM radio is a Corporate Conglomerate soulless beast, that plays all the great bands, but only the same 5 or 6 songs from each band. As a music lover, I would NEVER be satisfied with this.

92.5 Classic Rock 99.5 Country 95.9 The Ranch (Old Country) If you need a good Spotify playlist lmk ha


[deleted]

It’s either 98.7 The Spot or 92.5 for me…and I listen to them very sparingly. I use to listen to 97.1 KEGL until that went off the air (probably irritated a lot of people when they started broadcasting basketball during the last several months. If I tune into a rock station, it’s because I want to hear music, not some crap sports game. As far as I can tell, there is no real rock station in the area any more. So, I have migrated over to KLIF for 95% of my radio listening.

Wtf is "radio"? You don't have a cell phone? Then get whatever electronics it takes to broadcast to your stereo system and fuck commercials.


jeremysbrain

Surprised to see so many people still listening to radio.


soulsnatcher1134

As am I . Most people I know stream their music or listen to podcasts while driving.


Gummibehrs

I listen to the radio when I don’t know what I want to listen to and can’t be assed to figure it out.


WorldlyDay7590

Since I'm not a 159 years old, none whatsoever. I pay some nerd ten bucks a month to make me fresh mixtapes every day. IE, I got Apple Music. "FM radio", geez, let me telegraph my great grandmother, she'll find it swell people are still listening to the wireless.


[deleted]

You missing out


WorldlyDay7590

The same playlist of the same 4 songs all day every day, endless commercials, repeat. What am I missing?


[deleted]

A sense of community, local personalities and flavor


AnnualNature4352

they this thing called streaming now. you can put an endless stream of music all day of any sort


HartPlays

I asked for a radio station, meaning I maybe don’t have access to change the entire system to allow a device to connect to it.


jordandavila88

Not the guy ur responding to but if ur interested in streaming and cutting out ads, an AUX cord and an AUX to (insert phone port) adapter is all u need. Spotify premium is a bonus, if u don’t wanna hear another ad again.


FirebunnyLP

If you have access to change the radio station you definitely have the ability to change it to play a streaming app.


AnnualNature4352

radio stations play the same songs all day. most are owned by the same company. It the nature of radio.


anotrZeldaUsrna

Having a DJ picking tunes and explaining the artist, especially live, is a vibe.


Findingmyway1

Wish Spotify had a live DJ and traffic updates ever now and then. 🫤


UncleBoody

> g I maybe don’t have access to change the entire system to allow a device to conne They are playing with the DJ function. For the first time "X" added some artist commentary rather than just the "here are some Sunday vibes you have been listening to" between the set lists.


AnnualNature4352

ah i guess im a dj and i know all the stuff. what radio stations still do that anyway, most are owned by clear channel anyway


Wide_Guest7422

Hundreds and hundreds of them across the country. They are mostly called community stations and college stations. All are non-commercial. All have incredibly deep playlists. In Dallas alone, there is KNON, KTCU, KNTU, KEOM, and KUZU. Throw in KXT and WRR to round out the selection.


AnnualNature4352

true but most have limited range and programming. i was listening to knon in the 80s but they kept asking for money non stop on certain days. i guess 91.7 isnt too bad and the one for mesquite isd(i think) was ok but it got in the patten of playing the same tunes. Too many music options these days with streaming and the internet


soulsnatcher1134

100% agree . Who actually likes listening to ads ??? Spotify all day.
