Radio broadcasts of new age music are few and far between in U.K. and Europe. With shows such as Echoes and Hearts of Space, Canada and the U.S.A. are better catered for. College radio is usually a good source of non-mainstream listening and if your campus hasn't got a show you could always opt to broadcast one yourself!

Some of the radio programs listed below also post their latest playlists in rec.music.newage.

HEARTS OF SPACE RADIO
HOS grew out of producer Stephen Hill's fascination with contemplative, space-creating music. In 1973, the former architect started a weekly public radio program in the San Francisco Bay Area. By 1983, what began purely as a local labor of love went national, syndicating to 35 public radio stations around the U.S. Today, with nearly 300 stations, HOS has become the most widely carried music program of any style on public radio.

Each show is an uninterrupted 58-minute musical journey, crafted to create a psychologically stimulating, physically relaxing ambience. Space-creating instrumental music from many eras and cultures merges with the latest electronic and acoustic ambient music in a seamless thematic sequence unified by sound, emotion, and spatial imagery.

Hearts of Space Radio has the following e-mail addresses:

If you want to join, send a message to majordomo@cs.uwp.edu that says:

	subscribe new-age-radio

or if you prefer the daily digest:

NET RADIO STATIONS
The Real Audio plug-in has expanded the internet music wise. Depending upon your system, you can hear near cd quality music reproduction without having to wait for a long download to finish.

Many artists include RA samples on their web sites but, more importantly, radio programs are being 'broadcast' over the world wide web in RA format. This allows people to hear programmes well outside their normal reception area (it's great to hear smaller, more specialist stations). Also some music retail web sites actually offer complete albums in RA format for "try before you buy" listening making purchases of new music a lot less hit and miss.

Some good starting points for new age RA stations can be found at:
