Thankfully, most radio stations stream online as well, so even if your local options suck you can still find some great stuff online.

This is CHSR, from Fredericton, NB.

Things I've encountered when listening to this station:

• Modern jazz
• A regular segment dedicated to new music from female artists
• Progressive news and politics from Rabble
• Thrash metal
• The latest chart hits
• a selection of country and western that somehow didn't suck???
• Progressive news and politics from Democracy Now
• Big band jazz
• Discussions of intersectional feminism
• Giblert and Sullivan
• 1920s classics
• Two guys talking about comic books and wrestling
• Bluegrass hour
• Just a whole episode of the Canadaland podcast
• Irish rebel songs
• A discussion of Jimmy Carter's foreign policy and its effects on modern day Isreal
• New East Coast bands
• A podcast hosted by the Green Party
• Prog Rock
• Frank Sinatra
• Celtic traditionals
• Writing advice
• French hip-hop
• A history of electronic music which I tuned into just in time to catch the host going off about what a tit Grimes is
• Classical music
• and one entire day of nature sounds

Basically, it's the greatest radio station ever.
