You can now get KXRA on the Internet

Today Tom Obert, who has been out of service due to a faulty computer, reports that Radio Station KXRA has gone global. Yes, expatriate Alexandrians worldwide can tune in to:

and hear old familiar names and places like South Broadway, Trumm Drug and Patty Wicken.

Obert, liberal curmudgeon that he is, confesses that he seldom listens to KXRA after 10 a.m. when the station shifts to a national format with a political bent easily well to his right.
But earlier in the day, say from 6 - 10 am daily listeners can hear various programs hosted or co-hosted by Patty Wicken, nee Bratton, who, of course, we all remember from the class of '67. Patty, Tom says, is a real hoot and often reminisces about the good ole days growing up in Alexandria and he thinks she traces her family roots back before the Vikings (no, not the ones who party on Lake Minnetonka) arrived.

So now, people like Bob Helie in Oklahoma, can recover from whiplash while listening to the healing sound of KXRA.
