Radio with push button tuning...
...for my kitchen. If they can make them for the car, why not for the house?
Dialing to other stations is a pain, takes minutes to find other ones. I just want to be able to push a button and be at another station!
Of course for me it must be as inexpensive as possible and does not need a CD player with it.
Thanks for any help you can give me!

yes, there are many tutes on adapting a car radio, but I don't have an electricians degree or knowledge! I've searched for boomboxes too, but they cost a bunch! Nan, I will let you know if I find anything.

I stream music from Pandora through my Alexa in my sewing room. Completely hands-free, I just have to boss Alexa around when I want to skip to a new track or listen to a different station. Love it! Alexa also runs several smart plugs in my sewing room, so I can turn things on and off from across the house if I want to. "Alexa! Turn off the iron!" And she just says, "Ok" and the iron goes off.
Love, love, love my Alexa.
Love, love, love my Alexa.

Not push button, but the dial looks good to me:

I think push buttons require you to manually save the stations you want, and I'm thinking then the radio probably needs to be digital. Not sure, though.
This one has 5 buttons you can set for favorite stations:

This one has 10 buttons you can set:
