I listen to AccuRadio at work. It's great. The variety isn't great, though. In two hours, I'll hear three songs from Jersey Boys, two from Wicked, and two from Mame. They're all musicals I like, though, so I don't mind so much. Oh, and they play movie musicals, too. I heard a Newsies song, and that made me happy. :)
However, it doesn't seem to be working today.
Maximum Broadway has some good stuff, too. And a lot of variety. It will go from Rent to Annie to Showboat. But my computer at work isn't able to play it, and I don't know why.
Just Google "Broadway radio" and try them until you find one you like.

Musical Theatre on over the air radio is virtually impossible to find. WERS in Boston has a great show on Saturday and Sunday mornings for about 4 hours. It's streamed online as well. There are a couple of syndicated shows that you might stumble upon, but they are not widely distributed.
Motorala has been working on a system called iRadio to bring internet radio to cars, but the project seems to have stalled. I had hoped Maximum Broadway Radio would be available on the service, but it doesn't look like that is going to happen. Over the next few years wireless internet access will become widely available in many cities and internet radio will make it into cars.
HD radio is currently rolling out in many larger cities. With this format stations are able to offer 2 or 3 subchannels. I doubt any station will devote a channel to show tunes full time (except maybe in New York), but many NPR stations are going to use their subchannels to bring back the classical music so many of them have cut in recent years. My hope is that they will incorporate musical theatre into this programming. If you're a public radio station member, start lobbying station management now.
