The Austin Chronicle

4000 N I H 35
Austin, TX 78765

Michelle C. writes: Austin Chronicle, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways...

The Chron is everything the Statesman ain't. Great, incisive reporting. Austin-appropriate politics (well, IMO, of course). Everything I need to know about what's hip, happening and…

KOOP Radio
Neighborhood: Cherrywood

3823 Airport Blvd
Suite B
Austin, TX 78722

Renato R. writes: This is a great radio station to listen to all day. I wasn't going to really write a review until I read Deanna R's comments, which I must say are just plain....stupid. And since there is no button right next to "cool" or "funny" or "useful" that…

KMFA 89.5 FM

3001 N Lamar Blvd Ste 100
Austin, TX 78705

David M. writes: I love KMFA. It's one of two radio stations that I'll actually listen to in Austin, and here's why:

1. It's not owned by Clear Channel. - Okay, maybe i'm a little biased here, but I have an opinion that Clear Channel is one of the most unholy…

KGSR FM 107.1

8309 N I H 35
Austin, TX 78753

Brian B. writes: This is my favorite radio station anywhere I think. It reminds me a bit of KFAT in Gilroy years ago (now KPIG in Santa Cruz/SF) in that you might hear anything at anytime. Well, not 'anything' since they don't play most of the crap that I avoid…

GSD&M
Neighborhood: Downtown

828 W 6 St
Austin, TX 78703

Colby B. writes: I have nothing but great things to say about my time at GSD&M. I met some of my best friends in the world here, and, 5 years after leaving, we're just as close. They do fantastic work across the board, and I miss them, their culture and, even their…

KAZI - 88.7

8906 Wall St Ste 203
Austin, TX 78754

des j. writes: They might have poor equipment or are not using it correctly because at times, during call-in shows you will have echos and distorted sound from both the caller and the host.

That is minor though when you consider that they are the only folks in…

KUT Radio 90.5 FM
Neighborhood: Downtown

Dean Keeton & Guadal
Austin, TX 78701

sascha b. writes: Back in the cretaceous era, when I was living in Austin and trying to learn me some edumacation, KUT was my lifeline to sanity. Not for the NPR stuff, really--I got plenty of that back home in SF. I could manage.

No, it was the music, the local shows,…

Austinist

Austin, TX 78799

Clarisa R. writes: Everyday I check a few Web sites: Yelp (of course), Myspace, The Superficial and Austinist. I love Austinist.com because it's constantly informing me about what's going on around Austin. I have all of my co-workers on it too. They site has several…

Tribeza Magazine
Neighborhood: East Austin

1050 E 11th St
Ste 200
Austin, TX 78702

Robin C. writes: Wow, what a bunch of whiney babies! Yes, Tribeza is geared toward Big Money Austin. So what? If that's not who you are then don't read it. Pick up Rare if you're so hip and young you can't deign to cast your eyes at an ad for some super expensive…

Austin Fit Magazine
Neighborhood: Old Enfield

1905 N Lamar St, Ste 105
Austin, TX 78705

Larry M. writes: Small, light full color glossy magazine focusing on wellness is a cathartic experience.

Run by the Earle clan, this family affair does a great job in getting out the latest info on fitness events AND marries the listings with well-written articles.…

The Decoder Ring
Neighborhood: Downtown

410 Congress Ave
Austin, TX 78701

Jaime M. writes: The five guys who own and/or run this great company must have a hive-mind or something. A really creative, buzzy hive-mind.
They produce work that is consistently hip, hot, clever and on-point no matter the chief individual working on a project.
Their…

Bob-FM 103.5
Neighborhood: Downtown

Austin, TX 78701

Michelle C. writes: Bob FM is one of my guilty/mainstream pleasures. I try to be cool and tell people I like more interesting/unique music (and I do), but there are also times when I am perfectly happy with an earful of top 40ish music from the past thirty or so years,…

Jammin' 105.9 FM
Neighborhood: 78704 (South Austin)

3601 S Congress Ave
Bldg F
Austin, TX 78704

Mary V. writes: Mostly 80's & 90's....every now and then they'll play newer stuff....found them when I first moved to Austin...and stuck with them ever since...I just love the variety they play....Whitney, Jackson(s), Turner, W. Smith, the list goes on and on and…

Texas Music
Neighborhood: Downtown

710 West Ave
Austin, TX 78701

Jackson R. writes: This is a great publication that does feature articles on - you guessed it, Texas Music.

It's magazines like this that are so vital to keeping the music community alive and well. Without the attention from papers such as this, we would become one of…

Austin, TX 78753

Dawn B. writes: i have this love/hate affair with the morning show. i still wake up to them every morning, but i tune out half the show. i guess the bits they have been playing lately have turned me off....like the fake, edgy grandma glady's routine (who happens…

Austin Radio

Across the dial...
Austin, TX 78799

John D. writes: Austin radio is a strange bird....a strange bird indeed. Once upon a time in the 90's there were a number of quasi-independent and very interesting stations. It used to be that college kids who loved music were able to hit the airwaves, develop…

The Good Life: A Monthly Journal of Austin Stories
Neighborhood: Downtown

P.O. Box 4400
Austin, TX 78765

Sarah M. writes: With local heroes like the Austin Chronicle and Texas Monthly, the little guys are often overshadowed. I stumbled upon The Good Life one weekend when I noticed their newstand outside a retail location on South First. I initially though it was a…

Pecan Press
Neighborhood: Hyde Park

4106 Avenue F
Austin, TX 78751

Larry M. writes: Hyde Park's buzzing neighborhood association gets some flack for being so meticulous about 'hood preservation, but they get clicks for being the ones to break the news when significant changes are in store, in 20 pages, every month.

Amidst a bath in…

Digital 92.5 Pop en Espanol

912 S. Capital of Texas Highway
Ste 400
Austin, TX 78746

Brian F. writes: NOVENTA Y DOS PUNTO CINCO!!! Pop...y mas!

I started listening to 92.5 to escape the inane morning DJ chatter of 101X and KLBJ, and so I didn't fall asleep on the way to work listening to KGSR. My reasoning was that even if 92.5's DJs are annoying, I…

Mix 94.7 Fm Kamx
Neighborhood: Westlake Hills

4301 Westbank Dr Ste B
Austin, TX 78746

Jackson R. writes: Mix 94.7 doesn't seem to be as evil as some of the other generic stations in town. They do actually seem to live up to their name and don't give you the same songs rotated in a 45 minute period.

They do play a lot of Top 40, but the choices are…

Greensheet

8940 Research Blvd Ste 200
Austin, TX 78758

Jackson R. writes: You gotta like the Greensheet. Like Mr. Gatti's, they contribute to our fair city with a tune we can sing all day long. The Greensheet brings you buyers....Ha, now you're singing it too!

This is basically one big classified ad section. It has many…

West Austin News
Neighborhood: Far West/Northwest Hills

6101 Balcones Dr Ste 300
Austin, TX 78731

Sarah M. writes: West Austin News is a society paper, so I wouldn't jump to recommend its pages for hard news. Get the blood & guts at the Statesman and your next blind date at The Chronicle. For color pictures of Austin's old school money, up-and-coming debutantes,…

Austin Woman
Neighborhood: Rosedale

1213 W. 49th St
Austin, TX 78756

Sarah M. writes: I am a woman who loves magazines and Austin, so you'd think I'd naturally be in lust with Austin Woman magazine.

To be honest, I'm on the fence about this local publication. First, the positives. I applaud Austin for supporting print media that…

El Arroyo Sign

1624 W 5th St
Austin, TX 78703

Bob R. writes: My Yelp friend, Jaye J., uses the term "AustinLand (TM)" to identify those institutions that represent the ethos of Austin or if not quite that, then those that are at least Austin icons. Some of these venues she has tagged as over-rated, an…

Austin American-Statesman

305 S Congress Ave
Austin, TX 78704

Michelle C. writes: Austin so deserves to have a good daily newspaper, and it so doesn't. The AAS' cookie-cutter, mass-media presentation just doesn't do it for me. And, as if that weren't bad enough, the politics of the editorial staff (or, at least, the ones who…

KISS 96.7 Fm
Neighborhood: 78704 (South Austin)

3601 S Congress Ave
Austin, TX 78704

Riley V. writes: Bobby Bones! That is all I have to say. Four stars because of The Bobby Bones Morning Show. They can't get the fifth one because of the music. I like some of it, just not all of it.
If you are a fan of pop music then this is like the only…

Majic 95.5 Fm Kkmj
Neighborhood: Westlake Hills

4301 Westbank Dr Ste 350B
Austin, TX 78746

Jackson R. writes: This station is great if you like the "Pina Colada Song", or anything by Celine Dion.

Majic 95.5 is owned by CBS, and claims to play the greatest love songs of all time. To the corporate heads that means insipid AM radio classics like "Whenever I…

Brilliant Magazine
Neighborhood: Westlake Hills

1406 Camp Craft Rd
Austin, TX 78746

Jenny H. writes: bRILLIANT magazine is actually a very insightful magazine. It shows that Texas has the capability of competing at a high fashion level. In Texas, bRILLIANT is the only luxury lifestyle magazine offered in the market right now, and it provides…

K T X Z Radio
Neighborhood: 78704 (South Austin)

7524 N Lamar Blvd
Austin, TX 73301

Jackson R. writes: Better known as "The Bob", this station is basically an oldies channel with a couple of overplayed current hits sprinkled in.

Do we really need to hear "All She Wants to do is Dance" or "Karma Chameleon" ever again? Is there any way to escape that…

Kase 101
Neighborhood: 78704 (South Austin)

3601 South Congress Avenue
Building F
Austin, TX 78704

Austin, TX 78746

m e l i s s a A. writes: I was one of the very first DJ's at this station...way back in August of 1998! The first hiphop/R&B station in all of Austin, Texas! Yeah, could you believe that?

The first concert we sponsored was Jon B... the opening act was Jagged Edge. The…

Austin, TX 78798

Jaime M. writes: This local show has different hosts on a rotation, reading idiotic text messages. Those of us who don't have cable and work late have few options for TV aside from infomercials.
Pity us.
Each night they have a fill-in-the-blank contest to win…
