On the Air in 2026

Four stations broadcasting on the professional dial, no subscription required to listen. Tune each for what it actually plays.

88.1

The Big Signal

LinkedIn — "The Everything Broadcast"

Format: Full-service · Talk, jobs, identity, learning

The strongest transmitter on the dial: 1B+ listeners across 200+ countries, carrying every professional format at once, profiles, a job desk, messaging, a learning hour, and company bulletins. The remarkable engineering: your own signal (a complete profile) keeps broadcasting even when you're not in the studio; recruiters tune in around the clock.

Airtime cost: $0 basePremium band: from ~$29.99/mo, mainly for outreach shows

Some listeners report static on the talk programming lately, with more automated voices in the mix. The identity signal itself comes through clean. Airtime for your own show favors frequent broadcasters.

92.4

All Jobs, All Day

Indeed + Glassdoor — "The Listings Hour, Every Hour"

Format: Job wire service · Research segments by Glassdoor

A pure news-wire of employment: ~350M monthly listeners tuning through openings from 3M+ employers in 60+ countries, free for every seeker. Glassdoor hosts the research segments: employer reviews, self-reported salary reports, and interview call-in stories from listeners who've been there.

Airtime cost: $0 for seekersWho sponsors: employers, via promoted listings

Sponsored spots air mixed into regular programming, and the call-in salary reports are listener-submitted, so average several before adjusting your dial. This station plays no networking music whatsoever.

97.7

The Clear Channel

Wellfound — "Numbers Read On Air"

Format: Startup bulletin · Compensation announced up front

A low-power station with the clearest audio on the dial: every listing is read with its salary range and equity announced, across ~150,000 startups, and many segments patch you directly through to the founder. Free for candidates.

Airtime cost: $0 for candidatesAudience: ~8M listeners

Broadcast range covers the startup valley only; corporate districts get no signal. Many featured ventures are early-stage, and early-stage frequencies sometimes go off the air.

104.2

Live & Local

Meetup + Lunchclub — "The Live Show"

Format: Live events only · No recordings, no reruns

The only station on the dial that broadcasts from actual rooms: 52M+ members staging 2M+ live shows a year in 190+ countries, admission free. Between shows, Lunchclub's request line matches two listeners for a one-to-one session, paired by an algorithm that reads your goals.

Airtime cost: $0 to attendHost a show: from ~$20/mo

No job wire on this frequency at all; the opportunities are in the audience, not the programming. Signal strength varies dramatically by city, so check your local schedule.

Tonight's sign-off

No listener keeps the radio on one station all day, and the professional dial works the same way. The 2026 listening pattern: leave 88.1 playing quietly in the background, punch over to 92.4 or 97.7 when the job news matters, and never miss the monthly live show on 104.2. The whole dial is free. Goodnight, and clear signals.
