    Hi.

    ***My question/request in brief***

    I'm looking for what are considered to be the best online radio stations for a listener looking to learn ‘professional level’ financial skills (mostly related to undertaking / making decisions on financial projects and/or investment banking).

    Also, I would very much appreciate it if someone could point-out what is the best station from those already selected! I am unsure whether to go with what some would see as the ‘brand image’ of Bloomberg, or with one of the smaller outlets. In addition, perhaps it may be true that some stations are best for particular types of knowledge/content?

    ***My background / requirements***

    I am ‘reasonably new’ to professional financial terminology (although I am learning fast).
    As a result, its probably sensible for me to look to a station that provides some explanations, tutorials, ‘whys’, and ‘how-tos’ among their programming.

    Also, just to specify, I am *not* looking for a station that continually discusses *personal finance* (i.e., loans, buying a house, dealing with debt, etc). I am more interested in ‘professional level’ finance, or in other words, discussions on equities, bonds, investment decision making, financial markets and institutions, and the economy in general.

    ***What I’ve investigated so far***

    So far, the stations I listen to (via internet streaming) are as follows:
