For this version I'm experimenting with listing additions/modifications first. With the next revision, I'll incorporate them into the main list.
My thinking is that this will make it easier for repeat TIFL users to spot the changes.
Does this make TIFRL more or less useful? Let me know at jeremy@tcf.ua.edu.
Our favorite site is still Folkbook, which generously provides space for TIFRL. But we'd be remiss if we didn't plug the Web sites for All Things Acoustic and Alabama Public Radio, where TIFRL originates.
The following was compiled mostly from people responding to my requests for info on folk_music, rec.music.folk, FOLKDJ-L and FOLKTALK. Additional data were gleaned from folk publications: Dirty Linen, Sing Out!, and Crossroads (a trade publication for folk radio--acoustic@rtd.com; [520] 792-9891).
I requested information in the following format:
REGION: PROGRAM TITLE: PROGRAM HOST: RADIO STATION NAME (call letters): RADIO STATION FREQUENCY AND LOCATION: TIME/DAY BROADCAST: TYPE OF MUSIC FEATURED: ADDRESS (e-mail, Web, and standard post): COMMENTS (how cool is it?):
The responses I got were more free-form, however. Rather than regiment them into the form I arbitrarily devised, I've left them mostly in their original format. The comments regarding the programs are those of the contributors, not your humble collator.
The stations are clustered by regions, and alphabetically by state/province within regions--within individual states it gets a bit haphazard.
Regions:
Stations are separated by a line of hyphens; regions are separated by a line of asterisks. "International" refers to regions outside North America--in particular, Australia.

Donnelly. With his soft brogue and wicked sense of humour, Andy
entertains and educates his audience on the marvellous diversity of
musical styles that reflect the influence of the Celtic tradition.
Touring artists often drop by the studio to put on a live performance
and chat with the host. As Andy himself is fond of saying,
"it's a wee smash-up". Excellent, and only on CKUA, eh!

Frequency=91.1FM
Time=9pm to 11pm seven night per week
Music type=traditional to contemporary folk
Address=1700 S. Main Street, Goshen, IN 46526
Comment=A college radio station which features mostly
classical music and some alternative sounds late night. The
folk programs are a transition between the two. We tend to
air music on the contemporary/progressive side although the
program content is pretty much up to the individual show
host....I probably am more on the contemporary side for
sure. Programming began 1/1/95 and we hope to make it a
success.

COMMENTS (how cool is it?): I play a wide range of traditional music,
from Dock Boggs to Boiled in Lead. I include a lot of source performers,
both from 78s and field recordings, as well as revival musicians and
people pushing the stylistic edge. I play very little singer-songwriter
material; this program covers the songs and tunes that have gone through
the "folk process" and entered the tradition. The three defining
recordings for this year are the "Southern Journey" series of field
recordings, the Harry Smith "Anthology of American Folk Music" set of 78
reissues, and Deborah Holland's "The Panic is On".

NAME OF PARTICULAR SHOW: Blue Monday
PROGRAMMER: Bart Bozzi
TIME/DAY THE PROGRAM IS BROADCAST: Monday 9-12PM
TYPE OF MUSIC FEATURED: Blues from country to R&B
COMMENTS: We've been programming folk music since our inception in 1968,
with some minor interruptions. FM on Toast got started in morning drive time
about 18 years ago, and we've built a sizeable, and very supportive
listenership. We (folk programming) raise more than a third of our yearly
goal during listener fundraisers. We don't have required playlists. Shows
are programmed by the individual hosts, so each show has a definite
personality. Monday and Wednesday are very eclectic and adventurous.
Tuesday is all Celtic. Thursday is bluegrass and bluegrass-based. Friday
is more traditional. We also have a popular bluegrass show on Saturday
mornings from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The station also features a Blues show on
Monday evening, and a Women's Music show on Sunday. We host regular concerts
(these days mostly Celtic since no other venue realizes how popular this
music is live) and host a yearly fundraising concert/CD release called the
Folk Next Door. Folk Next Door features 12 - 15 acts recorded live in front
of an audience of 300 in May. The album is usually released in the fall.
Artists perform for free and the proceeds benefit the station. We're just
finishing production of Folk Next Door 6, which is entitled, "The Emperor of
Ice Cream." Some of the artists who have performed for Folk Next Door
include: Dar Williams, Richard Shindell, The Nields, Lucy Kaplansky,
Cordelia's Dad, Hugh Blumenfeld, Catie Curtis, Sloan Wainwright, Susan
McKeown and Chanting House, Ratsy, Salamander Crossing. We also do live
interviews with musicians who are passing through or playing in the area,
although getting up at 6 a.m. to sing is not always easy. Occasionally we do
phone interviews, remote recorded interviews, or in-studio, off-air
interviews for later airplay.

have CDs yet.
PROGRAM TITLE: Off The Tracks
PROGRAM HOSTS: Dave Palmater
TIME/DAY BROADCAST: Saturdays 8AM-11AM
TYPE OF MUSIC FEATURED: Anything which doesn't fit anywhere else

TIME/DAY BROADCAST: Weekdays 5AM?-11AM
TYPE OF MUSIC FEATURED: Mostly features contemporary singer-
songwriters, but depends a great deal on the host's interests.
Live music and interviews most days at 10AM.
ADDRESS: WERS, Emerson College, 128 Beacon St, Boston MA 02215

PROGRAM HOSTS: various students

TYPE OF MUSIC FEATURED: Live broadcast from Passim in Cambridge.
COMMENTS: With 3 acts on each show, it's a great way to hear
artists at various stages in their careers. The pre-opener is
usually unknown to Boston audiences; the opener is usually just
beginning to get good coffeehouse gigs in the area, and the
featured performer could be a Bill Staines, Greg Brown, Bill
Morrissey, etc. Usually by the time the opener comes on, they've
worked out the technical bugs with the microphones, cables,
transmission, etc.

COMMENTS :
WBRS as a whole is dedicated to a programming philisophy on not
judging the music, just playing it. This means that all music that is
received gets airplay, and therefore shows are a unique mix of both
well known and unknown music. While being nonjudgmental means that
music which may not be very good (in whose opinion?) is played, it
also means that you have a better chance than anywhere else of
discovering the undiscovered. And the fact that WBRS does not avoid
any music means that you can listen without bias, to judge the music
for yourself. Although some shows have regular hosts, the nature of
the station and its programming is such that DJs may vary without
changing the nature of the shows significantly.

COMMENTS: In May 1994 WPSU *increased* its local folk programming to 14
hours per week. In summer and fall 1994 we expanded our signal to
cover a much larger portion of north-central Pennsylvania, an area that
previously had no access to public radio. Our potential audience
increased by a factor of five. (Cool!)

TIME/DAY BROADCAST: M-F 7:30-10pm
TYPE OF MUSIC FEATURED: Contemporary mix.
ADDRESS : 70 Old Boston Road, Pittston, PA 18640
COMMENTS : Depending on what you like and on what George
is playing at any given time, from "not particularly" to "very." The
program is thematically/stylistically segmented, not free-form. George,
who's been doing this for about 21 years, has generally excellent taste and
his presentation is usually very intelligent. He doesn't really know a lot
about folk music, though, and doesn't present it particularly well, and
there's no telling when folk'll be on unless you listen regularly. This is,
however, the ONLY presentation of folk for much of the coverage area.
George pays a lot of attention to SINGER-SONGWRITERS. Reasonable amount of
world music and blues, too, considering the program covers everything.
(Also lots and lots of progressive rock, techno-pop, etc., so you take your
chances.) George also does live in-studio concerts, "Home-Grown Music," as
part of Mixed Bag.

COMMENTS : The format of this station is Jazz/Folk.
There is at least one folk show per day. Some are generic, some
speciality: Cajun, Celtic, Bluegrass for example. It is a volunteer
run station, but some of the hosts are quite knowledgable
about the music they play or are local musicians that you can go
see live in concert. It is a fairly low power station but does
have spotty coverage in the Puget Sound region. It depends
on listener contributions to keep going. I send in my money.

surprisingly wonderful fare!

COMMENTS : A mixture of all sorts of traditional, roots
and folk music. I use a pretty wide definition of the word "folk" that
includes american and celtic traditional music. I generally do NOT play
singer-songwriter stuff or contemporary folk. I do not play slick produced
recordings. I like the raw earthy stuff better. Some artists you may hear
on my show during a given Sunday are the Highwoods String Band, the Bothy
Band, Beausoleil, Roy Acuff, Hazel Dickens, the Beacon Hillbillies and
Uncle Tupelo.

cajun, zydeco, western swing, rockabilly, Tex-Mex, and more!"
ADDRESS: Home of Happy Feet, KUNM, University of New Mexico,
Albuquerque, NM 87131
COMMENTS: This is one of the station's most popular programs,
and it also consistently drums up a high response during
station pledge drives. It is also either the longest-running,
or is close to being the longest-running, locally-produced,
program on our air (in excess of 12 years, I don't know the
exact figure). Its programmers are all volunteers and at
least one of them is a working folk musician (Karl).
PROGRAM TITLE: Folk Music U.S.A.
PROGRAM HOST: David Dunaway
TIME/DAY OF BROADCAST: Saturdays at 9:00 a.m., weekly
TYPE OF MUSIC FEATURED: I don't listen to this one so much,
but my impression is that it's folk music relatively narrowly
defined, compared to Happy Feet. Also, Happy Feet regularly features
live appearances by folk musicians that are coming thru town, and I've
never heard such an appearance on FMUSA. Also, FMUSA will occasionally
use some of its time (two hours, compared to Happy Feet's three hours)
to air pre-produced programs from off the satellite that fall into its
folk-music theme.
