Follow-up To Fybush.com Reference To Waterlogged FM's

[Doug Drown]

"Incidentally, I've found a couple of alternatives to WCRB, at least when
I'm near a computer:
One is Bayern 4 Klassik, an FM station in Bavaria.  The announcements are in
German, but
the music is the same.  The other is BBC Radio 3.  Both are online."

An addition, FWIW: CBC Radio Two from Canada.  Highly recommended.

By the way, I wish WCRB were online too.
