A radio station website that doesn't suck

I finally found a radio station with a website that doesn't totally suck.

Of course, it has to be in Seattle. Because apparently stations in the San Francisco Bay Area are not allowed to have a decent website, even when they finally give it a much-needed redesign (which sucks just as bad as the old one). What, did they have the interns design it?

Interestingly, this is an instance of backwards-logic where the for-profit stations have really crappy websites, while the nonprofits like KQED and KEXP have really good ones. I wonder if radio is the only industry where this is true? After all, there aren't many other industries where for-profit companies and nonprofit orgs compete.
