WIFI internet clock radio

Thinking of getting one to listen to as I go to sleep. The program I want to listen to can only be accessed on the web. Any recommendations as to a reliable, easy to use such unit? Thanks.

Most wifi radio's are Reciva based and have counter-intuitive interface.
I got a wifi radio back in the air america days and really like
sound quality over am radio. Today I use a Sangean WFR-1 and Grace Allegro,
both work fine and sounds good, the Sangean sound is better. Newer wifi
radio's from grace and Logitech have large color touch screens.

Ccrane's wifi is ok but its small and only has 2 lines of text and you
have to grab onto it to press the buttons. Now days I mostly listen to Progressive
Voices, CNN & MSNBC audio, sometimes I'll tune into Alex Jones for a laugh and
if I'm real bored ill tune in coast to coast.

that is precisely what I want to avoid in favor of Art Bell's new program. I am sick and tired of Noory's insistence on polluting an otherwise generally entertaining concept with his right wing, end timer personal bias. Art Bell still has the knack for keeping it all entertainment for me. Weird stuff, but entertaining.

So, single program use with timed turn-off function are my only real needs.

that I installed on my computer so I'll see how that works out for me first. Very basic, very simple, very easy (just what I needed!)
Thanks again to those who responded.
