107.5
havent ID'd this one yet. have heard six-cent-dix-sept numbers and ads for places in the neighborhood, as well as relays of Signal FM and Radio Timoun. stream
107.1
cape verdean. Cesaria is just tip of the iceberg. lots of interesting sounds which overlap with Zouk or Compa or go off in their own direction. extremely fast stuff (faster than Soca!) and melodic lines that sound out of 1950s Calypso
106.1
if you replaced KPOO with Touch i might not notice right away. but i feel like KPOO has a deeper collection of vintage slabs of soul, jazz, reggae while Touch is a bit more 1980s to now R&B, Hip-Hop focused. still a good station, as it bills itself the fabric of the black community also the only smooth jazz show ive heard locally.. apparently there used to be a station called WILD which ive never actually heard and is now playing China Radio 24/7 so whatever, as if you couldnt get that in 300 places on shortwave come black
105.3
the best selectas. mad knowledge of everything jamaican from the dawn of recording to today. and quite a bit of other stuff. probably the best place on the dial to hear Country & Western music. jammy would build radios to tune in Memphis

one of best 1804 shows w/ King Bobo. a good array of Bachata daytime and even some Dembow. only Spanish station on FM unless you can DX 100.3 from Providence over the cacaphony of Flex FM when its on and WHEB. be sure to pick up some Furniture, Frugal now has 5 locations

102.1
claims to be transmitting from 20+ locations thru the francophone diaspora. a good variety from konpa to rap kreyol to hybrids. sometimes 'live' from Brockton or remote from Atlanta or Haiti. probably as many studios as transmitters, i dont know how its decided whats going over the air. so you're always in for a surprise twitter
101.3
i'd tune in for Missy's gossip if nothing else. a good way to stay caught up on Trini and Ja 0day tunes. also David Martin digs deep into schooling us on classic Steel Band stuff and whatever else he's feeling, like Parang a week before Halloween or in July..

flex is some kids. really a shit choice for a freq, with Providence and NH stations coming in depending on topographic favoring. nonetheless if you can hear it, you'll find some fresh shit, really oddd one-off genre-defying straight out of some wayneandwax approved cellphones of dorchester
100.1
some new spinoff of a TV station, which im not sure how you tune into. a better variety than most of the prior local haitian themed stations, veering into pop/hip-hop/rap/raizin. however its right on Brandeis's freq and if i had to choose between Brandeis (of which theres only one) and another haitian radio station.. it's pretty clear the former would win. even if it required climbing up on a roof and meticulously pointing a yagi-uda at Watertown
99.7
ah, Carmen Ortiz, woman of the year, approved removal of this station from the airwaves. it was my favorite. pretty much all Bajan DJs, and you can't deny their quirkiness is out of control, but a bad freq choice, making a WGBH-affiliated classical station basically untunable in a southeast Brookline to Milton to Savin Hill triangle due to capture-effect and AFC. you can find Warlock on city and Anaconda back on Choice camo sammich glasses cowfoot
98.9RadioUn, ground-zero of live football-match coverage and sometimes excellent konpa, weekend-evenings. and french lounge music overnights. somewhat similar to Radio Energy, low-key local flavor out of Roslindale or Hyde Park jazz-la mes-amis top.cleaner rainbow

91.7some "DX" from brockton, la ville des champions. most of their stations i dont hear unless hiking in the Blue Hills.. you also get a 87.9 which i havent listened to long enough to ID (it was really dark and foggy last time i was up there) the AM sister channels make it up to dot since ground-wave helps get over terrain obstructions.. i should point out my main radio is my cellphone, so its proably not even that great. im sure if you want to get crazy you could hear more stuff than is on this page stream available on zafem toute-ca
91.3bel mizik, naturally plays beautiful music, in the ear of the beholder. a bit more compas focused but have heard non-haitian music on here as well. as with Concorde or Radio Un, it can get quite good at times nothing mervey
90.1
Radio Energy, another a city of champions entry. with an additional transmitter which is sometimes on also. last time at IKEA i didnt hear it on, and i see a NOUO about it. anyways there is some nice vocal music, and vintage 1940-60s french lounge music off wax incouding some unidentifiable gems

89.3planet compas is another "Triple-threat" blanketing the region one of the few places you'll ocasionally hear tabou combo , shleu-shleu, tropicana slabs outside of africa kabisa twitter concorde
88.5bel top, blasting out across Rozzie from a rooftop across from Redds is Bel Top. talk often, and relays of other stations from Signal to Caraibes
87.7i guess the reason for Hot97's erroneous name is to capitalize off branding of a former Hot 97 in the area, plus NYC. i find it worse than the one in NYC, which obviously has a pipeline into the future of music. it is the future of music. this one.. i'm not sure. i spin past it since it's so close to WMBR rinos peen
1.71a bit of a religious vibe on here. station has been around 2 decades, out of brockton. radioUn also uses this freq, so you can test directional antennas here.
1.7lumiere is ... similar to the above station, but more of a commercial edge since it's fed out of Haiti somewhere.. decent music sometimes, admittedly i dont stick around here much to know more than that. believe its also some christian plot
1.69the one thing i know about this station, is at 6am *exact* it fires up, obliterating CJLO reception. i'm too burned by this cardinal sin to give it another chance. at least they go offline to make room for Montreal and CHTO bowdoin
1.67
impressed with the signals of some of these stations. audio to 16 kc on either side of the carrier. even Steve doesn't run audio like this. add a 10kc notch and youre in business for FM quality sound on AM - local oscillator and a LADSPA plugin
if you listen close, theres a delayed echo. my normal location is 1mile east of mattapan square, i think the weaker transmitter is brockton relay. voix divine
1.62Radio Energy. i tend to prefer listening to them on AM, the atmospherics really add to old french music they play - enter Delicatessen
