Radio in Israel - rap, rock, folk, classical, music and more

The Radio in Tel Aviv is almost on everywhere. People listen to music and talk radio during work, you hear it in every kiosk and most small shops, and the cafes pipe it "dental office waiting room" style as well. Radio in the home is mostly played the old fashion way off the air. But I see lots of people playing it off cable TV, satellite and the internet.
Get your browser Israel Radio toolbar at: www.lihi.co.il
Take a look at the Israel Radio Toolbar. If you want to get the radio through windows media player search for Israel or Hebrew and you will get a few stations. Israeli military radio driving station also has a toolbar of it's own. This radio station is NOT a propaganda tool or in the style of old soviet marching music. Quite the opposite they play top music for essentially teen agers (18 to 22 y.o.) with emphasis on safe driving and driving music. Notice that they play one English song and than one Hebrew song. Sometimes they alternate and play two or more for one of the other. They play all kind of games and late at night have real radio shows which usually covers a band, an era, or a musical style. I am not that familiar with their programming but for the teen agers this is the place to go.
If you do a google search for "israel internet radio" you will find a bunch of sites and even one more tool bar for radio stations. Kol Israel (voice of Israel) is the official Israeli radio. Reshet Beit (B network) is the second radio station. These are the official stations and they have news and commentary in Hebrew and other languages. The main Israel Broadcasting Authority is the main page for Radio and TV. Ssssooooo, I am not going to rate, describe, or comment on content - YET! but that will come if anyone wants to hear what is on the radio before you tune in... E N J O Y !
