OTR Now.Com 

I first tuned in KNX's Drama Hour somewhere around 1990. I had bought an old 1950's Grundig radio that said 'assembled in West Germany.' As The Wall had just come down, I thought it novel that I could transport back in time via this little machine and take a break from the state of the current world.

KNX pulled the plug on that four years ago and has shown no remorse, despite thier sunken ratings. Strong signal, weak management.

Now's our chance to give them the finger one more time. We can still transport back in those time machines via the computer, and the best part - it's completely free, the way radio should always be. The site is OTRNOW.COM

They have two 24 hour channels of constant radio streams we can listen to any time. Yeah, I prefer the old fashioned method of showing up near a radio around 9pm (or 2am) and listening to someone introduce the Drama Hour with the words 'good listening....'

But this site provides an excellent substitute - if not permanent replacement - for we old radio listeners. It's always available, and won't get dropped because management gets it's panties in a bundle over a fire or other passing calamity. Stick it to KNX once more - check out OTRNOW.COM It makes those sunken Arbitron ratings feel that much sweeter....

Hi,

You should try www.wnar-am.com The guy running it simulcasts it on the internet from a micropower AM station he has. It's on 24/7, but the best thing is he has a definite broadcast schedule. For example, The Lone Ranger 20:30ET M-F, and Dragnet 22:00ET M-F. I've been listening since the Drama Hour was pulled.
 
Was just looking to see if KNX still had the old shows. Dang. Guess not

 
I'll check it out tonight. Thanks Barry!
