Hemond Champion Author Providence Posts:8,174 Points:133,405 Joined:Oct 2006	Message Posted: May 11, 2013 11:23:36 AM Ignore Hemond Report Abuse I wish cellular internet radio was more dependable. I've tried a couple of phone apps but they have trouble locking / holding onto the signal if you move around. Which is what you do with a phone. It works great when seated at your computer though. So many excellent AM broadcasts available in other markets. Not every AM radio jock is syndicated, many are strictly local. I love discovering new ones though.
