FM Station list

Might also try Wikipedia under Radio in Connecticut. List claims to be accurate as of 9/22. But also includes AM but also claims to be sortable.

I would not trust any listing of anything on user-modifiable Wikipedia.
 
Try "Radio Locator" they list by state or by town and (FM first, them AM) and they have the output power, wether they stream or not and coverage maps (day and night for AM stations)

Radio-Locator's maps are unreliable, and its streaming links sometimes lead nowhere. Better than Wikipedia in that the operators of the site depend on users to feed it updated info in some cases, but don't allow those users to directly modify the website.

FCCData.org (REC) is a MUCH better resource than R-L. Looks cleaner, has more details and won’t threaten your device with viruses. Haven’t used R-L in at least 15 years.

Dave the administrator here hooked me up with "REC" much better than R-L the FCCData.org sounds like the Government, but I might look into it.

Even if you don't generally trust the government, the data available from the FCC is benign. There's no reason for the FCC to try to deceive you about call letters and signal patterns -- although I'm sure if your tinfoil hat is on tight enough you'll be able to dream up a reason that it would!

As I seem to be doing more often than ever, Wikipedia has very inaccurate radio information in general. It may be a good place to start, but it's not a definitive source.
 
fccdata.org is REC
Correct. REC has multiple data collections, and the fccdata.org one is much better than radio-locator and infinitely more accurate than Wikipedia.

If you're going to give sarcastic answers to my posts, I'd rather you keep your colorful opinions to yourself

Although you're probably busy enough maintaining your site as well as moderating this discussion board, have you considered becoming a Wikipedia editor?

While his response was sarcastic, I can see how your post could imply that you have some trust issues with the government. However, the "government" is THE definitive data source for all of this information as the FCC administers and regulates broadcast licenses.
 
I can't find this one on the FCC database, but I guess you might be able to add one more to the list. On Tuesday I was driving around and pulled in a fairly clean signal on route 9 heading north, fading out around East Berlin. It was apparently some kind of countdown, and was possibly around 1972 to 74. I tuned yesterday morning to find it gone. I had some more errands to do today and some time after 3:30 I remembered to tune in, and it was back. I was at a shopping center in Middletown when I decided to record a few snippets of what they were doing. I caught them going from #31 to #30 and instead of just the female voice, it said " Countdown 1966" a few times and then the female voice before the next track. I headed west towards Middlefield and it faded out leaving weak signals of the WSNG Torrington translator and also WXLO. When I got back to the area around 5PM, there was nothing, just the distant weak signals mentioned before. I'll have a couple of videos up once they transfer.
 
After having shut off yesterday and not being on overnight, they are back right now playing "You're Go the Magic touch" by the platters? (#46)
