I hope it wasn't here that I saw it first, but it has been awhile anyway, so for what it's worth, there is an interesting website that uses a world wide map with dots for radio stations. Click on the dot & you listen to their on line service. Useful if you want to find a station near your location. Radio Garden

Of course, you might ask, where does the local radio station get its weather information?

That's an interesting service. It's certainly more convenient than other methods of finding stations by location.

For anyone interested in actually receiving the station over-the-air (rather than just streaming it), the limitation might be that the location is approximate. In the Edmonton area, 13 stations are all shown as one dot placed in the middle of the city, although the actual transmitter locations are all over the region (and none are at the dot location), up to tens of kilometres away; that means that the actual direction (and distance) can't be determined from the displayed map.

It also shows only some stations, presumably the ones for which the site operators can arrange free online streaming. There are only 6 Edmonton-area FM stations listed, of the couple dozen or so that operate here; it misses some of the most popular (and best) stations. That's okay - it just means that you're not limited to what this app shows.
