For this version I'm experimenting with listing additions/modifications first. With the next revision, I'll incorporate them into the main list.
My thinking is that this will make it easier for repeat TIFL users to spot the changes.
Does this make TIFRL more or less useful? Let me know at jeremy@tcf.ua.edu.
Our favorite site is still Folkbook, which generously provides space for TIFRL. But we'd be remiss if we didn't plug the Web sites for All Things Acoustic and Alabama Public Radio, where TIFRL originates.
The following was compiled mostly from people responding to my requests for info on folk_music, rec.music.folk, FOLKDJ-L and FOLKTALK. Additional data were gleaned from folk publications: Dirty Linen, Sing Out!, and Crossroads (a trade publication for folk radio--acoustic@rtd.com; [520] 792-9891).
I requested information in the following format:
REGION: PROGRAM TITLE: PROGRAM HOST: RADIO STATION NAME (call letters): RADIO STATION FREQUENCY AND LOCATION: TIME/DAY BROADCAST: TYPE OF MUSIC FEATURED: ADDRESS (e-mail, Web, and standard post): COMMENTS (how cool is it?):
The responses I got were more free-form, however. Rather than regiment them into the form I arbitrarily devised, I've left them mostly in their original format. The comments regarding the programs are those of the contributors, not your humble collator.
The stations are clustered by regions, and alphabetically by state/province within regions--within individual states it gets a bit haphazard.
Regions:
Stations are separated by a line of hyphens; regions are separated by a line of asterisks. "International" refers to regions outside North America--in particular, Australia.

NAME OF PARTICULAR SHOW: Blue Monday PROGRAMMER: Bart Bozzi TIME/DAY THE PROGRAM IS BROADCAST: Monday 9-12PM TYPE OF MUSIC FEATURED: Blues from country to R&B COMMENTS: We've been programming folk music since our inception in 1968, with some minor interruptions. FM on Toast got started in morning drive time about 18 years ago, and we've built a sizeable, and very supportive listenership. We (folk programming) raise more than a third of our yearly goal during listener fundraisers. We don't have required playlists. Shows are programmed by the individual hosts, so each show has a definite personality. Monday and Wednesday are very eclectic and adventurous. Tuesday is all Celtic. Thursday is bluegrass and bluegrass-based. Friday is more traditional. We also have a popular bluegrass show on Saturday mornings from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The station also features a Blues show on Monday evening, and a Women's Music show on Sunday. We host regular concerts (these days mostly Celtic since no other venue realizes how popular this music is live) and host a yearly fundraising concert/CD release called the Folk Next Door. Folk Next Door features 12 - 15 acts recorded live in front of an audience of 300 in May. The album is usually released in the fall. Artists perform for free and the proceeds benefit the station. We're just finishing production of Folk Next Door 6, which is entitled, "The Emperor of Ice Cream." Some of the artists who have performed for Folk Next Door include: Dar Williams, Richard Shindell, The Nields, Lucy Kaplansky, Cordelia's Dad, Hugh Blumenfeld, Catie Curtis, Sloan Wainwright, Susan McKeown and Chanting House, Ratsy, Salamander Crossing. We also do live interviews with musicians who are passing through or playing in the area, although getting up at 6 a.m. to sing is not always easy. Occasionally we do phone interviews, remote recorded interviews, or in-studio, off-air interviews for later airplay. --------------------------------------------------------------------- REGION: Connecticut RADIO STATION NAME: WHUS RADIO STATION FREQUENCY AND LOCATION: 91.9 fm, Storrs, CT; U of CT --------------------------------------------------------------------- REGION: Washington, DC PROGRAM TITLE: Bluegrass Overnight PROGRAM HOST: Al Steiner, Les McIntyre, Bill Foster RADIO STATION NAME (call letters): WAMU-FM RADIO STATION FREQUENCY AND LOCATION: 88.5FM, Washington, DC TIME/DAY BROADCAST: Sundays, MN-6 AM TYPE OF MUSIC FEATURED: Bluegrass, country, folk ADDRESS : asteiner@access.digex.net COMMENTS : It has its moments!

This means that all music that is received gets airplay, and therefore shows are a unique mix of both well known and unknown music. While being nonjudgmental means that music which may not be very good (in whose opinion?) is played, it also means that you have a better chance than anywhere else of discovering the undiscovered. And the fact that WBRS does not avoid any music means that you can listen without bias, to judge the music for yourself. Although some shows have regular hosts, the nature of the station and its programming is such that DJs may vary without changing the nature of the shows significantly.

Stroudsburg 94.3; Allentown: 99.3; Lewisburg & Williamsport: 100.1 TIME/DAY BROADCAST: M-F 7:30-10pm TYPE OF MUSIC FEATURED: Contemporary mix. ADDRESS : 70 Old Boston Road, Pittston, PA 18640 COMMENTS : Depending on what you like and on what George is playing at any given time, from "not particularly" to "very." The program is thematically/stylistically segmented, not free-form. George, who's been doing this for about 21 years, has generally excellent taste and his presentation is usually very intelligent. He doesn't really know a lot about folk music, though, and doesn't present it particularly well, and there's no telling when folk'll be on unless you listen regularly. This is, however, the ONLY presentation of folk for much of the coverage area. George pays a lot of attention to SINGER-SONGWRITERS. Reasonable amount of world music and blues, too, considering the program covers everything. (Also lots and lots of progressive rock, techno-pop, etc., so you take your chances.) George also does live in-studio concerts, "Home-Grown Music," as part of Mixed Bag. --------------------------------------------------------------------- REGION: Southwestern Pennsylvania, Eastern Ohio PROGRAM TITLE: Celtic Crossings PROGRAM HOST: Michael McHugh RADIO STATION NAME (call letters): WEDO RADIO STATION FREQUENCY AND LOCATION: 810 a.m. (?)

There is at least one folk show per day. Some are generic, some speciality: Cajun, Celtic, Bluegrass for example. It is a volunteer run station, but some of the hosts are quite knowledgable about the music they play or are local musicians that you can go see live in concert. It is a fairly low power station but does have spotty coverage in the Puget Sound region. It depends on listener contributions to keep going.

ADDRESS: Home of Happy Feet, KUNM, University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, NM 87131 COMMENTS: This is one of the station's most popular programs, and it also consistently drums up a high response during station pledge drives. It is also either the longest-running, or is close to being the longest-running, locally-produced, program on our air (in excess of 12 years, I don't know the exact figure). Its programmers are all volunteers and at least one of them is a working folk musician (Karl). PROGRAM TITLE: Folk Music U.S.A. PROGRAM HOST: David Dunaway TIME/DAY OF BROADCAST: Saturdays at 9:00 a.m., weekly TYPE OF MUSIC FEATURED: I don't listen to this one so much, but my impression is that it's folk music relatively narrowly defined, compared to Happy Feet. Also, Happy Feet regularly features live appearances by folk musicians that are coming thru town, and I've never heard such an appearance on FMUSA. Also, FMUSA will occasionally use some of its time (two hours, compared to Happy Feet's three hours) to air pre-produced programs from off the satellite that fall into its folk-music theme.

It has had more debuts and previews of new Canadian folk material than any other show, starting with Stan Rogers in the early 1980s, who played tapes of several of his albums on Canadian Spaces months before they were released. The show raises more money during funding drive than any other air period on the station, which itself is Canada's most successful community/college radio station (measured in terms of longevity and community support.)
