I suggest listening to local colledge radio... alternatively you can try internet radio. While my tuner wasn't hooked up for a while I had to get my morning NPR fix with my computer... a little more work, and I didn't bother routing the music to my preamp, but I'm considering it more and more because you can really sample a lot more with internet radio.
I don't know much about windows media software (mac person) - but you can download iTunes for Windows now (free), and it comes with a pretty good categorized mix of radio stations. I'm sure there are other players for Windows out there with selections are just as good if not better.
I should note that I work for Apple - so that paragraph may be construed as a shameless plug
