Friends: I have finally finished updating the American portion of the list that I first posted back in May, 2001. I have fixed some of the inconsistencies that I didn't like in the original list.

Syndicated programs are now listed separately. I classify a program as "syndicated" if it is broadcast from multiple stations that are not all part of the same regional network. (Regional networks are things like Minnesota Public Radio, or Northeast Public Radio; they consist of several stations that cover at most a few adjacent states, and the programming is mostly the same at all stations within the network.) Most of the websites for syndicated programs have archived programs that you can listen to online, but generally, you can't listen to any show "live" through the program's website. For that, you'd have to go to one of the stations that carries the program. I think all the websites for syndicated programs contain lists of stations that carry them -- except, for some reason, Dr. Demento.

Except for syndicated programs, I have dropped all program names. They are just too volatile to keep up to date.

I have personally checked all the links and made sure they link to actual websites. (There are a few stations listed here that apparently don't have websites.)

I have dropped a few stations that apparently no longer carry folk or blues programs, usually because they advertise themselves as "all jazz" or "all classical." I have left in several college stations that apparently don't carry folk or blues now, but they do carry a variety of genres, and I figure they may add folk or blues in the future. (Programming at college stations tends to change every semester, and the content changes according to the tastes of whatever students volunteer to be DJ's.)

I have added frequencies for all stations.

I have also compiled a list of radio networks and other useful websites.
