Hello all.. It's been a while

Hi all — longtime talk radio enthusiast here..

I built a free tool called Tunearby that finds the AM/FM stations near any location and shows each one's frequency, format, transmitter site(s), and what's airing right now. It runs entirely on-device from an FCC-based catalog — no account, no ads, no tracking.

There's a browser version you can try instantly at tunearby.com, and there you'll find links to the free iOS and Android versions, which have more features. I made it mostly for road trips and for scratching the "what's on this frequency here?" itch.

Would genuinely love feedback from people who know this hobby better than I do — accuracy, missing stations, features you'd want. Happy to answer anything. Enjoy!

it doesnt show every station.. missing one of mine, and putting the links and stuff out where the transmitter site ias? bad idea? no ones going to go looking 20 miles away for one of ours.

at least one station listed in the area is linked to the wrong website. and because my isp puts me in denver, it starts me there.

Fairly useless and a pain in the... you know. Cool... but nothing the average person would use

and only two posts.. and only to promote his..website/app
 
I get all the AM and FM transmitter data from https://www.fcc.gov/media/radio/audio-division

Yes I built this app a few years ago, and updated it substantially with some help from AI. It finally does what I wanted it to originally do - show me all the nearby talk radio programs no matter where I am on the road.

The "on air" schedule is probably 70-80% accurate . I'll keep working on that.

I suppose I could try to add the service contours around each of the transmitters or see if that's really possible. Apparently that a complex physics problem.
 
You should manually go through your listings and put a note next to shows that are nationally syndicated, so people don't waste time calling/texting their local station. I'd put social media (including Youtube) info for stations/shows on the listings. Look up the info yourself by using a non-AI search engine like Duck Duck Go and add it.
 
youre still missing some stations in my neck of the woods.
also when you have stations that share a transmitter site you have to zoom way too far in to see them all and youre.. still missing some.

putting stations out by their tower site is a mistake, instead of putting them where the studio is.

so far youve only posted to promote your stuff here and not contributed to any meaningful discussion
