Not here in Spain either.  There's a national, subsidized station that is
fairly good, and a station in Barcelona financed by the Catalan government
that is one of the most interesting CM stations I've heard.

Tom Conner was wondering how CM is doing on line, and I would also advise
him to go to those links that Robert Peterson kindly sent us.  But beyond
that it seems to me that CM is alive and well on the internet.  Not only
can you find the regular stations from around the world, but there are
"radio" stations on various music sites.  On mp3.com there are dozens; I
run three, I know that listmember Stirling Newberry has a very interesting
one, entitled "War and Romance Radio" there's one on mp3.com that is
devoted entirely to music in uneven meters.  So if you look around online
you may find some interesting alternatives to the declining quality and
top-40-ness of regular broadcast stations.
