Not a fan of Naim classical radio

BBC Radio 3 is widely acknowledged as one of the best broadcasters of classical music in the world.
(I see from your Profile that you live in New York. I assume - but don’t actually know - that it is possible to pick up BBC Radio in the USA from some streaming service.)

I rather like the HD Mother Earth Klassik. It’s in the HD stations section.

BBC Radio 3 is superb. Waking up with Petroc Tralawny is the civilised way to start the day.
another vote for bbc radio 3 - especially if you are interested in exploring the huge diversity of music that can come under the label classical
Petroc always comes across as a very decent human being.
I listen to Klara Continuo a lot - Belgian classical Internet radio with nothing but music, no commercial breaks, no discussion - just tunes.
It has let me discover a lot that I did not previously know, and re-discover a lot that I did.
Many classical stations simply broadcast tracks from albums and I’ve never seen the point. With so much available on streaming services such as Qobuz, I’d rather make my own selection than have it chosen for me.
Where BBC Radio 3 does offer something beyond that is with live broadcasts of concerts, choral evensong etc. The sense of “being there” is what makes these stand out for me. Are there really no stations in the US that do something similar?

Take a look at WRTI Classical (and their website).
Sounds nice.
Another station worth listening to is Radio Suisse Classique - good choice of music and sounds much better than you would expect from its lower bitrate
