How to listen to Easy 99.1

So as a lot of you know, WPLM/Easy 99.1 is my favorite radio station of all. However, I moved into a new apartment where it does not come in well at all, except for in one room. I am very upset about that. I have tried several different kinds of FM antennas, from an old-fashioned dipole to an external telescoping antenna. And it's not just that station, but reception here in general. AM reception isn't that great either. I have a Tecsun AM loop antenna which helps a little bit but it's still not great. Some people have suggested listening online, but I know that's not ideal. Do you think it is? I'm located in Natick. Is WPLM supposed to come in well there, and do they have listeners from here?
 
Once you get outside the "red ring" radio signals start being unreliable and susceptible to other impairments. Elevators, cement walls, electrical, hills, etc., etc.

I have noticed I am doing a lot more internet streaming of my favorite stations, those with "iffy" reception. Maybe that's the solution in dealing with the frustrations of trying to receive (over-the-air) your favorite station?
 
Depends on what part of Natick you're in. You may be close enough to the Newton/Needham tower farm to have some pretty bad overload in your receiver.
Remember there is 98.5 at 9kW, which is only 600KHz away.
