Weird Radio Station Handles

DWKX-FM 103.5 (K-Lite) Manila, The Phillipines

http://www.1035klite.fm

Is it alternative? Is it AC?

Listen here: mms://203.167.29.37/klite/ (Windows)

WHGL-FM 100.3 (Wiggle 100 FM) Troy, PA

http://www.wiggle100.com/

Wiggle? for a COUNTRY station? This is just wrong. I'd hate to be the sorry guy playing this in the truck with the guys on the way to the tractor pull. It just seems a wee bit swishy for most hardcore male country fans I know.

Listen here: http://www.wiggle100.com/audio/wiggle100.asx (Windows)

CKLM 106.1 (The Goat - Border Rock 106.1) Lloydminister, AB

http://www.borderrock.com/

The Goat? Ever been on a goat farm? I'm not sure how many other rock stations they got out in Lloydminister, but I'll bet a competitor would have a heyday with this

Listen here: http://rd1.surfernetwork.com:443/cklm/24 (Surfer Network/Windows)

Radio SuxSound 100.4 Guspini, Italy

http://www.radiosuxsound.it/

At least they're honest......

Listen here: mms://16961.asx

Any others?

K-Lite has an awesome New Wave show every Saturday morning. Real New Wave as in Cactus World News, Care, and the Lotus Eaters and not Toni Basil and Taco. Highly recommended.

Cactus World News...whatever happened to those guys?

I tuned in to DWKX yesterday and got a "Lite Sunday" (The Phillipines are 16 hours ahead of us), starting off with-wouldya believe? "Rich Girl" Hall & Oates, which then segued into "Great Southern Land" Icehouse, "It's Friday (I'm In Love)" The Cure, etc.

But most of the time musically, it sounds like the old KAEP (105.7 The Peak, now The Buzzard), Spokane during the week and almost like KJET on the weekends.

New Wave on K-Lite for KJET Orphans

Larry, welcome to the wonderful world of Philippine radio, which I've missed for so long. In the '80s two of the biggest acts on Manila's Top-40 were Seona Dancing (the New Wave band featuring Ricky Gervais of "The Office") and Norway's Fra Lippo Lippi, both of which can still be heard on K-Lite's regular rotation. Don't be surprised to hear the Soup Dragons' "Soft As Your Face" into Stevie Nicks during normal programming. That's our Top-40 radio.

Anyway, "Lite Wave" is on K-Lite every Saturday morning beginning at 8 a.m. PST, I think, and it ends around 11 a.m. PST. They'll play some obscure New Wave stuff that'll stump anybody.

Check out NU-107 (New Wave/alternative rock, blows away KNDD and KEXP) and Jam 88.3 in Manila, too.

Did I tell you about my wife's album and my record label, Larry?

The Phillipines are a unique place when it comes to radio. In fact, I'm convinced that '80s style new wave didn't die at all, it just moved to The Phillipines and musically influenced almost everything there. Rock radio just blossomed much differently in The Phillipines than any other place in the world (wasn't it the '80s when rock radio itself first appeared in The Phillipines? That may have something to do with it.) Like The Phillipines itself (a devoutly Catholic Asian nation conquered by Spain and America that speaks mostly English and loves new wave), it's a mix that to the naked eye looks like it would never work, but does almost fabulously. And you gotta have a soft spot for ANY country that goes off the beaten path pop culturally the way the Phillipines do.

I've already heard some head-scratching stuff already. And some cuts ("Angel O7" Hubert Kah anyone?) that probably never get airplay Sunday mornings on KNDD.

Gotta find them audio links and tune in. Sounds like an aural feast!

You did mention the record label, did you just get married? Kudos!
