Ratings and reviews

Are there only 3, pre-set channels? Beautiful sound, but options seem very limited. Pretty cool it keeps playing in the background 🥰

has trouble playing, graphics cut out, love the concept, though

I moved away from Seattle, but wanted to take my Classical radio station with me. I started with Next Radio FM (a good radio app), but connection can still be quite spotty in that app. Upon installing this app, you can keep up with not just the regular radio station, but a variety of "channels" hosted by KING. I'm a solid fan of KING for one large reason: despite still having commercials, all commercials are broadcast by the station's own DJs (seemingly), leading to a smooth, unjarring listening experience. My favourite parts? The Evergreen channel, and The Score on weekends on the main channel looks at movie and other media scores. Lots of fun! Lots of learning!
