What is the most interesting radio station web site you have found?

What unique and interesting radio station web site have you found that rises above the sea of mediocrity that characterizes most of them, whether they are big city or small town stations? What I would describe as interesting is a site that tells something noteworthy about the station, its history, the area in which it's located (with interesting photos). Perhaps one with pictures of the transmitter or the antenna towers. A lot of radio station web sites are just cookie cutter designs with a sea of ads on the home page and little if anything unique or interesting. This does not have to be limited to North America... thanks!
 
CHSC 1220 was a radio station broadcasting across the lake out of St. Catherine's, Ontario; a city near Niagara Falls (although allegedly programmed from a studio in Etobicoke, technically an area of the city of Toronto itself) acting as a rim-shot to the Greater Toronto Area's Italian community. The CRTC, after uncovering a series of regulatory violations mostly involving broadcasting insufficient programming of relevance to Niagara Region denied the station's license renewal application in 2010 forcing the station off the terrestrial airwaves.

The web site for at least one full year consisted of a short and hilariously badly written welcome message announcing that they were designing a new web site asking visitors to check back in "a few days" and a banner at the top of the webpage showcasing... THE STATION'S LOGO!!! Although prior to some point in 2009, the station had a full fledged website written in Italian, then from that point onward, it would appear that it was two badly written versions of the "welcome" messages. One in 2009, and another one in 2010.

Take a look at all the "crawls" for 2009 and 2010 and have a good laugh.
