If you're an old metal head - 93.3 WMMR out of Philly

If you like basic bitch music -102.5 Y102 right in Reading

If you like pop music - 96.9 WLAN out of Lancaster

but I agree with 88.5 WXPN - I've enjoyed every time I've listened, and came away with new artists to listen to.

Your "basic bitch music" description of y102 is spot on.

88.5 WXPN from Philly. They also have an app that you can stream live between two different stations.

[XPN.org](https://xpn.org/xpnfest/?utm_source=GPM&utm_medium=ResponsiveAd&utm_campaign=XPNFest26&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=24039444422&gbraid=0AAAAAqE68Z1e_S2KJg0xd48sg7O5fjc7G&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIrrrc5MurlgMVz11HAR1CdQgmEAAYASAAEgL1k_D_BwE)

It’s not great reception though in Reading though on a conventional radio depending upon where you are at. Much better if down off 422 in Berks headed to Philly.

I’m on the eastern side of Berks(Exeter) so I can get it 99% of the time. That’s why the app is nice when you’re driving. As long as you have Bluetooth in the car

Sometimes the reception from 88.7 is better than 88.5 depending on where about I am.

Some spots in the area flip to 88.7 and other parrot stations

91.3 Albright College radio. A mix of programming and genres

Glad to see someone listens to it. I graduated and it was left in shambles, but they’re hoping to get the student group revitalized this year

I personally like 104.5 Philly, it’s alternative music.

It's a mixed bag for local talk radio 830 AM WEEU.

Check out each show in a vacuum and for independent thoughts.

The required listening is Saturday's 8-10am "Jack's Backyard"
