How do you say : "I listened to the radio station 97.5 country." ? Answer in the imperfect tense.

-"I listened to the radio station 97.5 country."

-Yo escuché a la emisora de radio 97.5 Country.

Note:

97.5 Country is the name of the radio station, therefore, you don't translate names.

Preterit would be used here because from the context it's something you did and may do again. Imperfect would have been something you did in the past but no longer do. See the conjugation of escuchar to help.

Escuchaba a la estación de la radio 97.5 música country. "música country" seems to be a fairly accepted term for country music, bur I could be wrong on that.

Another interesting thing: when you listen to the radio, it is "la radio", but when you refer to the device itself, it is "el radio".

Wouldn't it be something like, "Escuchaba a la estación de radio 97.5."
