Connecticut Radio Online: Stations Streaming Live

Published 27 September 2026

You can listen to Connecticut radio online in any browser, with no download and no account: open 72FM, search for a station's name, and press play. Connecticut sits between New York and Boston, and its own radio is strongest in public, college and community stations.

The sound of the state

Connecticut listeners have always had New York and Boston stations on the dial as well as their own; online, the state's public and community stations stand out. New York radio, Boston radio and radio for blind listeners go further.

Listening from elsewhere

Connecticut keeps Eastern time — five hours behind UTC in winter and four in summer.
