Commercial radio in the San Francisco Bay Area is okay, I guess. I really couldn't tell you for sure, because I don't listen to it except maybe 104.9 and Alice. Usually I've got the radio presets to college radio stations.

Starting from the south bay and moving clockwise, the college radio stations I know of are:

• South Bay
  • 89.3, KOHL @ Ohlone College (Fremont)
  • 89.7, KFJC @ Foothill College (Los Altos)
  • 90.1, KZSU @ Stanford (Palo Alto)
  • 90.5, KSJS @ San Jose State
  • 103.3, KSCU @ Santa Clara University
• San Francisco
  • 88.1, KDNZ @ University of San Francisco
  • 90.3, KUSF @ University of San Francisco
• North Bay
  • 91.5, KSUN @ Sonoma State
• East Bay
  • 880 AM, KSUH @ Cal State, Hayward
  • 90.7, KALX @ UC Berkeley
  • 89.9, KCRH @ Chabot College (Hayward)
  • 89.5, KSMC @ Saint Mary's College (Moraga)

Frequencies are FM unless otherwise noted.

The ones I listen to most are KFJC and KSCU.
