Broadcast Radio

A website called Asiawaves has an entire page listing the various radio stations available throughout Udon Thani — these are the stations an ordinary radio would be used to tune in: Udon Thani Province, Thailand: Radio Stations on mediumwave and FM. As Wikipedia explains:

Medium wave (MW) is the part of the medium frequency (MF) radio band used mainly for AM radio broadcasting.

A disclaimer at the bottom of that page indicates that it was last amended April 23, 2010, so one would rather expect that the listing was reasonably up-to-date at that point.

For a history of radio broadcasting overall in Thailand, refer to the official website of The Government Public Relations Department: Radio Broadcasting in the Days before the National Broadcasting Service of Thailand Came into Being.

Online radio is another matter — here in Canada, I find myself generally disappointed with the quality of the streams of online Thailand radio stations. I find that many do not even begin to play anything; and the stream for many others that do function tends to break off in short order.

UdonMap currently has just one station on its page of Radio Listings: 91.5 FM Radio Udon Thani. I followed the link given for it, but an attempt to tune in yielded nothing. The “Listen” button itself proclaimed:

Reports indicate this source is unreliable. You may sometimes experience problems listening.

No kidding!

Another location with a player that may be for the same station is 122.155.18.152:8090/listen.pls, but I still got no joy out of it. I located the link at Vecasts. If you feel like playing around there yourself, select Thailand in the drop-down box near the top of the right column. It brought up a list of 127 stations, and Modern Radio Udonthani 91.50 Mhz was #46.

There is a website called FM.UDON that I spent quite some while exploring, but I only came up with radio players that would not play; and other links that led to expired or defunct websites that were no longer being hosted. The site itself says it was last updated on May 21, 2010. Clearly, no one responsible for it cares very much.

KIIS FM 90.75 Mhz is supposed to be an Udonthani station. It played in Explorer, but nothing happened in Firefox. Eventually, it started to break up intermittently, but it never entirely stopped for any length of time.

Another possibility might be FM 88.75 Mhz Udonthani. However, in both Firefox and Explorer, its status was listed as “off-line.” I just don’t know if they meant that the station is not broadcasting at 10:30 p.m. when I visited the site; or if it no longer broadcasts in that particular stream at all.

Earlier I mentioned The Government Public Relations Department official website. They have a page of online radio stations here that are classified by region — don’t select the English-language option on that page in the upper right area, or you will be taken away from the collection of radio stations. As far as I could tell, only FM 93.75 Mhz was specifically Udon Thani-based. It was another station that played in Explorer — albeit with some static — but not Firefox. It played…and then it quickly cut right out.

By the way, a section of The Government Public Relations Department had a collection of musical compositions that King Bhumibol Adulyadej had at one time played — you may know that he was a talented jazz musician. However, nothing I tried would play. Perhaps it was just a temporary issue, though — see for yourself by going here. Note: Once again, Explorer seemed to be the browser of choice.  Also note:  Eventually the last song I had tried to hear started playing after I gave up and continued working on this post, so maybe the song uploads are just extremely slow.  I estimate that it might have taken at least five minutes before it started, so you are going to have to exercise considerable patience if you attempt to progress through the catalogue.
