Jimmy's Favorite
Commercial Free Radio Stations along Interstate Ten


    Some of the best radio listening is to be found on the "left" side of the dial; many years ago it was government policy to reserve the part of the FM spectrum from 88 to 94 mhz for educational, community and commercial free stations. Yes there are low key underwriting announcements every hour. But not the shouting bombast of commercial radio. I-10 has some long stretches where the radio listening is quite grim. So when you get your fill of commercial radio,pop in a cassette or CD until you come into range of one of these FM stations that can be a delight to the ears; with their creative programming and eclectic music shows.
