Antidote for Radio Mediocrity, Pt. 2

I've run across a site which presents the most comprehensive list of streaming audio providers available on the internet. vTuner (link here) allows you to search for radio and television stations worldwide by format, geographical location or call sign.

The geographical search is somewhat broad. For now you cannot restrict your search to a specific city. And the list is alphabetized by name/call sign. So if you are looking for a college station in Columbia, Missouri, but you don't know which one, you just have to wade through all the stations in Missouri to find the ones in Columbia and then just take your best guess from there.

I spent a few minutes last night listening to Mark Kloss on KIHT, a classic rock station out of Saint Louis. Old phogies like me will remember spending our teenage years hearing him at KSHE. It seems there must have been a migration away from KSHE, as a good number of the old KSHE jocks are now at KIHT. A side effect of the homogenization of commercial broadcast radio?

I expect I'll be spending more time here checking out the audio goodies available.
