Broadcasting live from Princeton University, in Princeton, New Jersey, WPRB is 30,000 Watts strong, making it one of the strongest college radio stations on the planet. Of course, you don't need to be within the 15,000 square miles that make up the WPRB coverage area, just tune in via the Web, with either RealPlayer or Windows Media Player, and here their scheduled programming from the farthest corners of the globe. Depending on when you listen, you'll hear classical music compositions, jazz, hip-hop, alternative, indie rock, and during the school year, sporting events.

When you're looking for intelligent rock radio (is that an oxymoron?) radioio proclaims itself your answer. Intelligent or not, the diverse playlist is sure to keep you from getting bored, blending the music of provocative songwriters from the Sixties through today into an enjoyable listening experience. This is college rock radio for those of who don't need the college to be part of the listening experience - including many of the Indie bands missing from corporate (and most Web radio) playlists. Registration ranges in price from $2.99-9.99 per month depending on your preferred sound quality.
Listen to KPIG
Somehow, we've successful avoided ever featuring KPIG in the Digital Media newsletter, despite it's being the first commercial radio station to broadcast on the Internet. Unfortunately, their free live stream is no more, although they do have a pre-recorded show that's pretty awesome. Broadcasting live from the Santa Cruz area, KPIG serves up radio the way it's meant to be done, with real people choosing cool music, instead of letting trends and statistics dictate what will be aired like so much of corporate radio today. I'm now torn between KPIG and RadioParadise.com for my online listening attention. In an effort to survive, they've joined the RealOne RadioPass network of stations, ( I can only hope a competing service emerges so that Real doesn't control the online radio market) which offers about 50 stations for $5.95/month.
