Here in PR we have a local internet radio station called Heavy Metal Mansion though metalpr.com. It's mainly broadcasted in spanish but there's some programs in English as well.
From '99/2000 up until 2006, there was the Metal Zone hosted by Billy Steel on that station. That was a great show. I used to listen to it all the time.
I remember years ago 92.5 Jack FM in Toronto used to play some heavy metal and hard rock, but they got taken over and were a pop station last I checked, so not since then
Edit: Oh, it was AM/FM exclusively. In that case, no. We don't have 'em. But we used to have a show when i was about 12 years old in the local radio. For 1 hour there was a dude playing almost solely Nightwish, haha
We also had a metal show called "Geistersstunde" (hour of the ghosts) on "Rockland Radio" a local fm station. They broadcasted this show on sunday nights between 12pm and 1am where they played metal. Also some harder black/death stuff. Unfortunately they discontinued the programm 15 years ago or so :-(.
Yep, that sation is still avialable in the south west of Germany, but their programm changed a lot. But at least they had a Metallica special broadcast, when Hardwired came out 2 weeks ago.
In Bavaria they have Rock Antenne, also Rock Antenne - Heavy Metal which you can receive via fm when living in Bavaria in the Rosenheim area. They also have a live stream/webcast and broadcast via cable. I sometimes listen to them via webcast.
Here in new england in the states we have the "classic rock/hard rock" stations where you might hear something that passes for heavy metal but as far as i know we don't have actual heavy metal stations catering exclusively to die hard headbangers.... although I think the local college stations might have the odd metal program for like an hour or something but I never bothered to tune in and listen to it, I'd rather listen to my own cd's
AM/FM metal stations are almost non existent here(as far as i know) the closest thing is "Metal Hour" or "Full Metal Jackie" on 95.5 KLOS here in So Cal. They play basically classic metal bands and songs(ex. Saxon, Metallica, Iron Maiden, etc.) it's a pretty good show, considering Metal is hardly on the airwaves these days. Now satellite radio is a different story, that's where i get my metal fix if i'm not listening to my ipod. Ozzy's Boneyard is a fantastic Hard Rock/Heavy Metal station. Then you have Liquid Metal, which plays the more obscure and "heavier" metal(i.e. Death Metal, Black Metal) while throwing in classics in their as well. Satellite radio is the way to go if you want Metal stations.

Nope, because there is no metal am/fm radio station in here. There are only a few rock radio stations, which play a few maiden songs on occassion.

There are no metal AM/FM stations available in my area, unless you consider bar skank bands like Seether metal. So no.
