Radio On The Road

Radio on the Road: The Traveler's Companion by William Hutchings lists just about every AM and FM station in the U.S. Over 15,000 listings are arranged by state, then by city, call letters, frequency, and format. Lists top talk show hosts with stations and times for each state. Home team stations are listed for baseball and football. Also includes a complete listing of NPR stations by location. Excellent for travel. 283 pages.

Now for the rest of the story (by Bob Crane):

There will be times in perpetuity when a computer doesn't cut the mustard. I still read the Wall Street Journal in paper format. It is just plain easier to grab a book when you want to know the frequency or city of a radio station. And with a pencil you can add a note! Try that Mr. Computer - Ha!

We carried White's Radio Log and felt an empty spot when they stopped issuing new releases. When I heard Bill Hutchings was ready to publish his first edition I called and was happy to get set up as a dealer and we've carried Radio on the Road ever since. He has recently sold the rights, but Bill still helps the new publisher get the data ready. With a website like Radio-Locator.com you really don't need Bill's book but he knows that. That's why he focused the content on travel and gives you a good idea of where your favorite shows are. You also get the bonus of a concise information center about radio stations that are on air in your area which is awkward on a computer.
