Commercial Free Streams of Broadcast Stations

B

Barry

KPIG FM in California provides commercial free streaming of its eclectic music programming, for a subscription of around $5 per month. That seems to be a considerable sum to listen to just one station. But I would guess they have been successful with this, as this subscription has been available for years.
Are there other stations that offer something similar? Are there some candidates with such unique content, that a significant amount of fans may be willing to pay for a commercial free version? It seems that sports stations have a particularly passionate listener base.

When you say "commercial free," does that include pre-roll funding announcements? Because WFUV and WBGO are commercial free.

In fact all non-commercial public stations stream their signals.
