Here in Houston I mostly keep all my radios (home & car) set to KHOU, our local NPR affiliation - during daytime hours they play classical music (aside from All Things Beaten To Death), and after dark they diversify a bit. My Saturday evenings start off with Prairie Home Companion, followed by The Thistle & The Shamrock (Celtic), Pulling Strings (guitar) and two "space music" shows, the first called Hearts of Space, I'm not sure about the other. By this time it's 11pm and the Romantic Hour (replacing an additional hour of space/electronica) comes on, at which point I may or may not turn it off and listen to a tape instead. And so to bed.

Curiously enough, whenever Thistle & Shamrock comes on and I hear the voice of its announcer, Fiona Ritchie, I always think of your friend Kelly O'Dor, even though Fiona is Scots (Edinburgh). If you don't have it there you're missing some fun - some of the bands get pretty rowdy at times.

There're probably other stations that slip past Clear Channel's viscous grip, but a recent trawl brought up only a single jazz station that I have been unable to rediscover since. I don't even care about talk radio.
