FM reciever app

Is there a good app that lets you dial into a specific FM channel? The television at the gym is set to broadcast at a specific FM frequency and it would be nice to be able to tune into it. The phone is a Sprint Galaxy Nexus.

Thank you for any assistance!!
 
If you phone has an FM receiver built into it (and thats a very remote if... very few phones actually do)... you will likely already have an app installed to let you listen to it.
 
Tune-In radio doesn't do FM, only streaming audio.

But it streams audio from a lot of FM radio stations and if you pay for the pro version then you can even record audio to playback at any time.

And unlike some phones with built-in FM radios you don't need to use the wired headset for the antenna to steam FM radio stations.

But their latest update makes it very hard to playback recorded audio and skip over the commercials because they made their slider so small just so they could put all sorts of other worthless things on the same screen.

But it won't help with the OP's request, which is to tune in to a specific frequency which his gym broadcasts the sound from its TV on! ;)

Caveman, does the Sprint GNex have an FM tuner (hardware)? From a quick web search I suspect not. If it has, FM apps I've met generally let you save a channel as a preset.
 
The Motorola Droids have a built in receiver, and an fm tuner app to take advantage of same. But, as noted, I think your phone has to have a receiver-an app can't provide that

It appears that the GNex dies not have an FM tuner. Looks like I am out of luck.
