I love their advertisement where the northern cattle rancher says
"I don't care much for their poltics but they sure know music".
Umm, just wondering why you were checking
out KAXE.
OIC -- they're in Grand Rapids, MI but
also they're in Brainerd and Bemidji.

that would be Grand Rapids, MN
Chuckle! I don't get outstate much.
Apologies to the good burghers of
Grand Rapids MINNESOTA.
I find it hard to believe that a station from that defunct region of
MN has the sophistication to actually have live streaming on its web
site. But it's true:

Defunct? I looked at buying a bookstore
up there. You might be amazed at the
demographics -- those with the $$$ to
do so are building (and sometimes living)
out there...presumably to avoid plebes
like you and me.
and I repeat......THEY ARCHIVE!..... incredible...incredible
So...you don't want to listen in on their trivia game, " Green
Cheese" with locals? or broadcasts of Ornithologist Laura Erickson's
audio essays for the love, understanding and protection of birds?
Then down load from the archive "Currents" music program
programs...designed and delivered by music lover extraordinairre...a
local programming and management talent... Mark Tarner. The station
archive has a weeks worth of broadcast in 15 minute blocks. You can
pick any times that you want in the last seven days. The 15 minute
blocks of archived broadcast fit on a 3.5meg mp3!!
KAXE is a great station, and one of the 12 Minnesota stations of Independent
Public Radio. Each of these non-commercial stations is independently
licensed and managed, and each provides unique community oriented
programming.
Ten of the stations stream on-line - check them out ...
