How about some FM classic rock station info.
 

I want to save some classic rock stations on my new used car. Looking for recommendations.

Radio reception can be iffy, my suggestion, do a search with you car radio, when you find a song you like, save the station, do this for several stations, then pick one and listen for an extended period to see if you like it. I had a few and it seems they recently changed format. Also, the villages radio station has some rock music.

I stumbled on a couple, I agree about reception. 98.9 out of Orlando is the best I have found so far.

We are dinosaurs, very few stations cater to our listening preferences anymore. We used to very much enjoy listening to WVLG many years ago because they played lots of music we liked. Unfortunately, that has changed dramatically over the years to the point where they now only occasionally play something we like, and not frequently enough to keep us tuned in. We only tune in when they do the 60’s at 6:00 and 70’s at 7:00 thing, and the 70’s segment seems to focus on the late 70’s when that disco crap started to come out. What baffles me is that my wife and I bought in the Villages relatively young and we are still smack dab in the middle of their seemingly target market age group of mid 60’s, yet they don’t play our generation’s music?

Once I get my phone connected so I can use Pandora I’ll be set.

We use Sirius radio. There are a couple of Classic Rock stations, there are stations that are dedicated to specific groups/performers, stations for specific themes, general rock, rock from specific eras, you name it, they got it. It's awesome.

Years ago, I down-loaded every song to hit the Billboard top 40 from 1950 all the way through 1999. I then created playlists by year - Each year has approx 250-300 songs. Now that I’m retired, I’m glad I took the time to do this - no longer dependent on a radio station. I simply choose a particular year of music I want to hear, and I’m set for hours and hours - good thing too that I like a very large spectrum of music genres.

We listen to 98.9 and 101.1. One is out of Orlando and the other out of Tampa.

Might try a free APP. “ My Tuner Radio” can search genre by city or state rock, classic rock, gospel…

This will help.
Choose your type of music

Paul's Video Jukebox contains songs from the 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s with over 12,000 selections and over 1,000 playlists

Ever since satellite radio came out, have not used AM or FM. Wife does a great job negotiating price with them.

Try WIND FM out of Ocala. Maybe 95.5?

Do an internet search "f m radio station near me." You will see a list of stations and genre.

Thanks everyone for your help. I’m good now.

My son found a special on Sirus radio for 2 years we both share.
I don't remember the monthly amount but it was a really good price.
He works out of his house and has it on all day.

I got Sirius radio back in 2003, two lifetime memberships 400 ea. still got the one in the boombox and one in the Rv. best deal ever.

Sirius XM. You shouldn't have to pay more than about $6 -$7 per month. You can listen in your car, on your phone, on your computer, or on your smart speaker. Loads of channel programs to select from. Just be sure to re-negotiate when your year deal is up, or you will suddenly be paying around $25 per month.

This is what I did recently with Spotify. Since 2018 I had put in a bunch of my all time favorites in one playlist but then more recently put them each into their respective decade playlists. So I have all my favorites from the 50's to the 2000's. For me the 70's and 80's have most of my favorites, about 2+ hours worth. It's nice to be able to choose an era. I have had my own custom made CD's for each decade since Frostwire was a thing but obviously I could only fit around 20 favorites in each one so I was limited.

I use the speaker that came with the Golf Cart and hook it up to my Bluetooth. I was using it in the cart for over a year and more recently in the car for longer drives. Spotify does have commercials, which I lower the volume for. But it's nice to hear what I want to hear instead of the same list that the radios play every day.

I wasn't liking Pandora in the past because it would just pick its own songs and many times drift away from the category that I wanted it to stay in. When I'm going "how'd that song get in there" it's time for a change.

Another suggestion is Sirius Radio. But I don't feel like paying for that yet.

105.9 Sunny FM out of Orlando

Radio?
 

Drop the ancient radio technology. Bluetooth combined with Pandora or Spotify is simple, and you can create playlists of whatever kind of music you want, with no commercials. If your new used car is only a few years old it will probably have bluetooth technology built in. And bluetooth speakers are cheap, portable and Amazon Echo ear buds are incredible for $49. If you are not technically savvy, hire a millenial for an hour.

98.9 WMMO (Orlando) and 95.5 WIND (Ocala) are the two best.

Try 105.9 fm

You may want to consider buying a wireless (bluetooth) wifi connector, plug it into your cigarette lighter (are they still called that) and stream spotify or youtube songlists to your car radio. I got mine at bestbuy for 28.00

We use Sirius but as an alternative have found that FM 98.5 is pretty good.

I usually listen to 95.5 WIND (Ocala), just because it comes in well, but when I really want to listen to something other than the same 50 tunes the radio stations play over-and-over, the best radio station in the world is my personal CD and vinyl collection.

I've ripped all of my CD's and most of my vinyl to WMA format, and believe it or not, over 200 albums from the 60's through the 90's actually fits on my phone. I connect via Bluetooth and just put it on "random". My only complaint is that you can't find a player that really does "random". They all think you really don't want random, so they try to pick the tracks that are the most highly rated, and you still wind up hearing the same 200 songs over and over. But it's still a better mix than the radio guys use.

Good luck around here.

95.5, 105.9, 107.7,

Sirius/XM in our SUV, my cart, the home, the outdoor kitchen, poolside - everywhere.

:agree:

I picked all of these.
