The US catalogue on 369.FM is intentionally weird in a good way: SomaFM’s specialist internet channels (ambient, drone, indie, metal, folk, 80s, and more), Radio Paradise’s curated mixes, and public-news names like KQED, KEXP, WNYC, KCRW, WBUR, WBEZ, plus Jazz24, KING FM, and Voice of America. That is not “every NPR member station.” It is a mix of internet-native music radio and a handful of great public signals. If you want news, start with WNYC or KQED; if you want music that FM in most cities will not play, SomaFM and Radio Paradise are the point of the directory.
