Listening to the World - Algeria

I want very much to like Algerian radio, but I'm afraid that I have not been having the best of luck with it.

This site seems to be the best place to go for radio from Algeria (I've been clicking through to the French language section, so as to give me at least a fighting chance to find my way around). There are four channels on web feed and by the notes I've been taking the last few weeks they seem to correlate to:

Chaine 1 - Poppier - Dance Music
Chaine 2 - seems to be traditional music
Chaine 3 - talk
Radio El-Bahdja - More festive traditional music

This seems to be the case about sixty percent of the time. There seems to be a lot of talk on all the channels. The signal is pretty choppy, so whatever is going on is generally pretty frustrating to listen to.

Algerians! Do you have better radio? Send me a link!
