Ah, that would be my web page. It really needs to be updated.
Unfortunately it's a rather low priority for me, but I have found
someone else who is interested in Cleveland radio who might have
some insights into stuff we can do with the page.

Lessee. The TV Guide in the Plain Dealer lists all AM and FM stations
every Sunday, but for good measure I will post a list here of some
stations you can get in Northern Ohio that aren't on that list.

WZOO 102.5 (Edgewood/Adult Contemporary): Weak, and you can't really
get it much further west than western Lake County, but they are the
only Cleveland-area station with a RealAudio feed: 
www.knownet.net/wzoo.htm (or just point your RealAudio client
at www.knownet.net/wzoo.ra). They're located in Ashtabula County.

WCPZ 102.7 (Sandusky/AC): Their signal is decent all throughout 
Cleveland, even on the East Side. They play a pretty decent variety
of stuff. I have a button set to 102.7 on my car radio, so they
must be pretty good. :)

CIDR 93.9 (Windsor, Ontario, Canada/Adult Album Alternative): Despite
the fact that this station serves Detroit, since there are no stations
between 93.3 and 94.1 in Cleveland, and due to some weird signal
propagation patterns over the lake, you can get CIDR clear as a bell in
many parts of the city. The Triple-A format is something different; you
might want to take a listen -- no one around here even comes close to it.
I've got a button for 93.9 too.

WHOT 101.1 (Youngstown/Top 40): Decent station, best heard south of I-480.

WRQK 106.9 (Canton/Hard Rock & Alternative): Plays a unique blend of metal
and "modern rock". Also does a great local music show on Monday nights 
where they actually *play unsigned bands* (GASP! Is that allowed?)
Oh, yeah, I've got a button for these guys too!

The Cleveland-based stations can all be found in TV Week in the Pee Dee.
They have two separate listings for AM and FM stations. I trust you'll
be able to check out the listings and check out the Cleveland stations
yourself, but I wanted to clue you in to some good non-local stations
so that you could listen to them (radio professionals call it "DX'ing").
