== [http://www.102themountain.com/ 102.3 The Mountain] ==
*In mid-July, 2005, The Mountain, a classic rock radio station in northeastern Pennsylvania, featured a short sound bite from [[radio]].
*Again, in February, 2006, a snippet of [[radio]] was played, containing the lines about the "hour of chanting" and "dead air...um...dead air."

== CD 101 ==
CD 101 (101.1 FM Columbus, OH) has clips from the e-mail [[radio]] in some of the bumps they use before playing songs.

== KJHK ==
KJHK (90.7 FM Lawrence, KS) uses clips from [[techno]] and [[dragon]] in their bumps.

== The Chris Moyles Show ==
On 5 May 2005, [[Wikipedia:Chris Moyles|Chris Moyles]] of [[Wikipedia:BBC Radio 1|BBC Radio 1]] fame was discussing the final episode of the UK version of [[Wikipedia:The Apprentice (UK)|''The Apprentice'']] with his colleagues. When he mentioned that it was "in the [news]paper", he added, "No, it's not a paper that comes down from the sky, and we watch the show on it!" This roughly fits the description of [[The Paper]]--it comes down from the sky, but one does not generally "watch the show on it."

== NPR ==

NPR's Talk Of The Nation program on March 9, 2004 discussed Internet animation and featured prominent mention of Homestar Runner as "the reigning king of animated sites" and "the closest thing the Web has now to an episodic hit show". It featured [[kind of cool]], as well as the email [[different town]]. Audio at [http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=1753401 NPR's website].

NPR's All Things Considered program on May 8, 2005 discussed the H*R site, described some of the characters, and featured a short interview with The Brothers Chaps. Audio at [http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4634837 NPR's website].

== Oldies 102.9 ==
When the radio talks about its website, the phrase "Welcome to the greatest website" in a homestar voice appears.

== Podtacular Halo 2 Podcast ==
The co-host "spelchek" does some Homestar and Strong Bad impressions during [http://podtacular.blogspot.com/2005/10/episode-11-backwash-n-b-rs.html show 11].

== Q98 ==
On Q98- 98.7 FM (a radio station in Fargo, ND/Moorhead, MN), the DJ, Stash, told listeners to visit the radio's website "...at q98.net, it's dot com." This is a reference to the [[First Time Here?]] cartoon, in which Homestar says, "Welcome to HomestarRunner.net ... It's dot com!" They also played a sound clip from Strong Bad's character page cartoon, were Strong Bad says, "Ladies, form a line to my left for makeouts! Dudes, form a line to my right for high fives!"

== Radio U ==
Radio U (88.7 FM in Columbus, OH) has interviewed Strong Bad and the Brothers Chaps on two occasions, accessible at the bottom of [http://tvulive.com/radiou/riot2.htm this page].

== The Rock ==
There was a quote from [[Strong Bad]]'s character video on a La Crosse, Wisconsin radio station called "95.7 The Rock." It goes from the part
where Strong Bad says, "Ladies, form a line to my left for makeouts! Dudes, form a line to my right for high-fives," and stops at the part at which Homestar says, "Well, I was going to get a high-five, but I see that I'm already here."
*It seems that The Rock are frequent users of Homestar Runner quotes, around once a week or so you can hear one pop up.

== The Ron and Fez Show ==
[[Wikipedia:Ron Bennington|Ron Bennington]] and [[Wikipedia:Fez Whatley|Fez Whatley]] of XM Satellite Radio have stated publicly that they are huge fans of homestarrunner.com. They end each of their shows with an audio drop from [[the facts]] of Homestar Runner saying "And that's the end of my show, donk." On another occasion, when discussing crying at the movies, they discussed [[crying]]. Ron Bennington said that seeing [[Li'l Brudder]] made him cry and repeatedly said "He's got the heart of a champion."

== WBRU ==
When 95.5 WBRU FM out of Providence does their sports update, the quote "Get yer head in the game, The Chort," from [[mascot]], is played. Also, part of [[techno]] is in one of the bumps they use before playing songs.

== KUPS: The Sound ==
In one of their transitions between programming, the DJ said "You're listening to college radio, which means you probably just heard an hour of chanting" which is a reference to the e-mail [[radio]].
