How To Listen

The easiest way to listen to our station, if you are within a few miles of Minneapolis, is to tune in to 98.5 MHz on any FM radio! Note: Clock radios or radios that do not have an external antenna may have shorter range.

If you are away from Minneapolis you may tune in from anywhere via the internet. We offer a Standard quality (SD) and a High Quality (HD) audio stream.

There is a player built into the footer of our website. If you are using a full PC brower you will receive our HD stream. If you are using a phone or tablet you will receive our SD stream.

There is also a pop-out player available that allows you to select the stream quality on any device by clicking here. Hint: Bookmark the player to your home screen for fast access!

You can also receive the HD stream using the Radio Garden app on smart devices.

To use Winamp, VLC or any other streaming audio player you may paste this link into the URL field:

Audio Quality (Tech Talk)

Over 90% of our music library is sourced from Compact Disc and 44.1KHz/16 bit lossless files and we also have many songs in higher resolution and bit depth. This means that the FM signal is delivered to you without data compression, and the internet transport from our server to your player is the first and only time the data is compressed, allowing us to deliver higher quality audio than any other FM station and most streaming services. In order to achieve the best Hi-Fi experience possible when using the internet stream, we recommend USB tethering your device, or using a PC or Network Player with AUX cables, HDMI, TOSLINK or S/PDIF connections, but we promise bluetooth connections will sound awesome too. 😉
