Default Internet Radio : Best in class/genre

Ive had a sanyo internet radio for the past couple years and I keep waiting for it to turn into a paper weight and so far it has exceeded my expectations. Lot's of good music to be found all around the world without having to endure commercials. My go to stations would be Bloomberg, NME, CBC 3 and the Fan that I listen to sometimes in the afternoon but flip to music anytime they have a commercial. Anyways....NME has had some major changes and fired all their DJ's and the music seems to have changed also as they aren't really on the cutting edge anymore and they are playing lots of old stuff like GNR and RHCP etc. I feel stuck in a rut.....help me out What are your go to internet radio stations by genre? Where do I get my new music fix that NME was providing me with?

Thanks! Good suggestions and the setlist looks like it would be good to work to. Any other suggestions. My band aid solution to NME right now has been NPR http://www.indierockcafe.com/categories/new-releases/ and a couple of the indie airplay stations. I have even been driven to country in the last while and the best country station I have found is out of Pittsburgh Y108. I have checked the reciva forums and they don't have much there so any other suggestions for best in class stations to try out would be appreciated. I only have 8 pre-sets but seem to stick the same 4 or 5 so any other new stations to try would be great!

BBC Radio 1, extra, and 6

http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/

- BBC Radio 1 is pick and choose. The format changes greatly depending on the show. 12-2 pm Calgary time is Zane Lowe. He's got a pulse on new alternative/indie music that I cannot believe. Arcade Fire sent him their new singles this past summer before anyone else had access to them. Great 2 hours of new music each Monday-Thursday. You can listen to it on demand as well. Here's his page: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/zanelowe/
