I've been getting disillusioned by late night radio for a while, the choice seems to be "late night love", automated jukebox or a dull phone in.

So I was thinking, what can I listen to from overseas on my Wifi radio. The time zones correspond with Australia's breakfast shows, so who would be the equivalent of Moyles out there?

I've no idea what Chris Moyles is like but I can tell you about some of the Australian breakfast shows I do know about..

Triple J is my radio station of choice, I suppose it's a lot like Radio 1. From what I read though the JJJ playlist is a bit less mainstream, they play a lot of unsigned and less commercial bands that the other FM radio stations wouldn't touch at all though. There's also Triple R, which is one of the more established community radio stations in Melbourne who are quite big on alternative stuff as well,

Mainly the same every day, Mornings with Robbie, Marieke and the Doctor, Zan Rowe's morning show and a lunch program as well. They do MP3 streaming which may be what you're after.

Varies from day to day, they have talkback shows, music for different genres etc.

There are a stack of others as well, depends on what you're looking for really
