chumby | college radio tuner (flash widget) | 84 stations
A tuner for college and community radio stations. The stations are from goodradio.org so should stay reasonably up to date. Touch the sides of the screen for next and previous channel. After some testing it seems that Widgets, since they must use Flash for streaming, aren't the most reliable way to stream radio. If you like this widget you might go to gizmoware.net/chumby for a version that runs off a thumbdrive and is much more reliable.
