My New Favorite Radio Station: KCEA 89.1

The sounds of the Swing Era provide the basis for the KCEA musical format - from the original big band and small group recordings of the '30's and '40's to the best of the swing sounds recorded in all the decades that followed. From the Basie, Ellington, and Goodman big bands of yesterday to the Basie, Spitfire, and Juggernaut big bands of today. And we play it 24 hours a day.

Not only that, it's commercial-free. And mostly talk-free. And danceable. And just plain fun.

It's unfortunate that their signal isn't strong enough to get much past San Mateo or Mountain View. When the talk of the other stations gets just too much, this is where I head.
