I just recently stumbled across KORL at 97.1 on FM radio. Radio? What’s that? In this age of MP3, digital streaming, there still does exist old school radio. I remember the KORL call letters from decades ago, but can’t quite remember what the format was. It’s gone through a number of changes. It is now featuring J-Pop. They claim to be the only FM J-Pop station in the nation, 24-7. They’ve actually been on air for a number of months already.<\/p>\n
Anyway, I’ve been listening to it a fair amount lately and it’s not bad. Get to hear stuff I otherwise wouldn’t listen to. They don’t seem to have a whole lot of live DJ going, which can be a good thing. One drawback is that they almost never announce the artist and title of a track they’ve played. Thanks to the miracle of Shazam and other music recognition software that is\u00c2\u00a0easily remedied. I do feel a little ripped off, so far a good number of the tracks I’ve run through that for ID ended up being Korean! Maybe its because those are ones I totally don’t recognize the style or something. Anyway, check it out if you’re into the J-Pop thing. The broadcast station is in Waipahu so I don’t get good reception in HK with crappy antenna, but I can catch it in town.<\/p>\n
Their website is pretty weak, but there is a link where they are live streaming the broadcast on the Net, although again there is no info on artist or songs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
