    Default Radio News Station Recommendations Needed

    Does anyone know of a good radio station/program for political news in the evenings? I'm not interested in commentary, just reporting of the news itself.

    there isnt one on regular radio, you may be able to find a Reuters or BBC station on Sat radio though.

    The college station here (90.1 I think) does NPR for a while during the day, I'm sure GA State (88.5) and Tech's (91.1) radio stations probably have NPR at some point in the day as well. Its somewhere on the left of the dial, anyway.

    I think AM 750 is the main one for news/talk. I stay away from talk radio (and the AM band in general) as general principle, so I'm not really sure.

    During the day 750 is Boortz, Clark Howard, the Hannity. They do have pretty unbiased reporting during the shows, but the actual shows are obviously pretty right leaning.

    Does Clark Howard do a podcast/webcast?

    Yeah unfortunately I really only get a good chance to listen to the radio when I am driving after work. I currently listen to 750AM but I'd prefer non-commentary news. Also, I don't know about the rest of you but it feels like Herman Cain talks to his audience like they are children sometimes. He literally talked for an hour about whether something should be defined as a tax or not before he even started to address the actual issue.

    Thanks for the suggestions though.
