Nightlife consulted several broadcasting publications, then took a spin across the radio dial. This is what we heard on our receivers and car stereos. As always, reception varies according to numerous factors, including weather and equipment quality. And time of day, too- at night, listeners can hear stations from as far away as Detroit, Denver, and Chicago (most notably AM stations WLS and WGN).

If there's a favorite station that you can pull in, and it's not listed here, let us know so we can share your secret with the rest of the community. Email us at <nightlif@midwest.net> or snail mail us at 705 West Main, Carbondale, IL 62901. And by the bye, special thanks to one of our readers, Christine Mize, for alerting us to several Christian stations in the area after we ran this list in fall 2000.
