One of the undoubted benefits I did get from my stint on Mastodon was finding out about Radiogarden

Admittedly it's limited by not being able to search for radio stations by genre, but even so I've found some great international stations. My favourite ones for New Wave are Dublin's Gem New Wave, which goes beyond the usual 80s hits to offer a full range of late seventies/eighties music, including the more guitar-based and reggae/rock crossover acts that are often overlooked. They also play Army of Lovers at nine in the morning as mentioned previously. Galaxie New Wave from northern France is also good for vague froide and NDW obscurities.
But I also love the simple titled "New Wave" channel from Aurich, Germany, which I only discovered a few days ago and which seems to be manned by someone obsessed with Legendary Pink Dots (I've never heard them on the radio before!), Fischer-Z and even more obscurely, Richard Strange and the Engine Room. I'd forgotten how much of a banger "Damascus" is when it gets going!
