Unfortunately, the only stations I know of around here that play that
kind of music are the student stations at the universities.  WXYC in
Chapel Hill (89.3) plays a very diverse selection.  I'm not as familiar
with the Duke station, but I think they play some alternative stuff.
I think NC State's WKNC tends toward hard rock/heavy metal.

88.1	WKNC	Raleigh		Heavy Metal, Soul, Alternative, Jazz
88.7	WXDU	Durham		Various
88.9	WSHA	Raleigh		Jazz, Soul, Reggae, Gospel, talk shows
89.3	WXYC	Chapel Hill	Almost anything, all the time.
89.7	WCPE	Raleigh		Classical (non-NPR)
91.5	WUNC	Chapel Hill	Classical, Jazz, NPR

You're most likely to find RHCP et. al. on WKNC 7pm-10pm Mon-Thurs, on WXDU
(although I don't know their format schedule), and on WXYC intermixed between
Ella Fitzgerald, ABBA, the Trio Bulgarka, and all the other stuff they like to
mix together. (I like WXYC :-). As far as reception, you can't get WXYC or
WXDU in Raleigh very well, nor can you get WKNC in Durham/CH (unless they've
gotten more powerful recently). Good listening!
