    Internet radio for pre-school

    Anyone with (or without) kids got any recommendations for good internet stations for young children? My boy is 16 months and loves music, stories etc. The station he used to like seems to have disappeared now. There is plenty of stuff out there, most of it is pretty naff though.
    Cheers, auto.

    There's a few on Live365 which you could check out:
    Hip Young Parent Radio:
    live365://www.live365.com/play/miscamy

    Muppet Radio (obviously depends on you tolerance for Muppets)
    live365://www.live365.com/play/muppetcentral

    Purple House Radio
    live365://www.live365.com/play/bubbleheadcat

    There's also an Irish broadcast called RTE Junior which sometimes has some interesting stuff. That can be found on Radiotime.

    It might be for a slightly older audience, but there's also a podcast called Spare the Rock, Spoil the Child. If you go to their site, they have a bunch of links on the right to other Children's Music sites/streams:

        Slacker has some good kiddie music. You will find radio stations of kiddie music under the Youth category of the radio stations. I actually custom built a station for my 2 and 5 year old that works quite well. It features favorites like Raffi, Barney, Sesame Street, Disney, etc.

        Hopefully you can get Slacker in the UK.

              When I worked in a kindergarten, we used The Kids MIXX and Radio TEDDY for our music and dance classes.
              Any podcasts ideas for elementary school students?
