The Sangean WR-11 is another option, but I haven't personally listened to this one. SANGEAN WR-11 AM/FM Table Top Radio https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001BGGD8A/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awd_Fv.DwbNT00NPX
Here's an example of what I'd consider to be a "real" component tuner from Yamaha.
There are probably a few other models from different manufacturers available - but AM/FM tuners are kind of a dying breed these days.
Edit: You might also consider a table radio; this one has a headphone output which (probably) will bypass the built-in speaker and send the audio to your amp.
I live out in the middle of absolute nowhere. I look for radios that have what's called a coaxial antenna connector. That way I can hook the big TV antenna that's on my roof to it, or they also work with smaller antennas that screw right on. If you don't have a big TV antenna you can still get decent reception with the right radio.
First of all, are you okay with buying used? I've had a little Tivoli model ONE that I bough used for $70 maybe 3 years ago. I love it. Its the perfect little table radio, and has a coaxial antenna connector. The tuner is really good at grabbing stations even if I have it hooked up to the smaller antenna it comes with. New ones go for close to $150, but here's a few eBay sellers with used ones below $100
[Tivoli 1] (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Tivoli-Audio-Model-One-Henry-Kloss-AM-FM-Radio-Walnut-Beige-/142227322689?hash=item211d68b741:g:5mcAAOSwImRYZK9a)
[Tivoli 2] (http://www.ebay.com/itm/tivoli-audio-model-one-/172468966146?hash=item2827f39302:g:QF4AAOSwUKxYabJK)
Those are just the first two I found under $100. Do some shopping around and you might find a better deal. Some go for a lot more since some have bluetooth.
Not wanting to buy used? Thats totally fine! I haven't personally used one, but the Amazon reviews for [this Sangean radio] (https://www.amazon.com/SANGEAN-WR-11-Table-Top-Radio/dp/B001BGGD8A/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1483422727&sr=8-1&keywords=am+fm+table+radios) seem good. It looks like a nice little unit too.
If there's anything else you'd like to know, just ask!
Haha thanks since everyone seems to like the stuff on my desk here's a link to the radio......

I rock out to Vermont Public Radio, however I've never heard of Ask Me Another or Snap Judgement. I highly recommend this radio if you are listening on your phone. Takes up almost no space, looks wicked nice, and is very loud for being so small.
(its expensive for a radio, but I like nice things. Except my liquor, give me that plastic bottle, I'm just chugging anyway)
i think this is the winner
> Tivoli
While searching Amazon I came across this, it's not a Tivoli but seems to be a quality radio. Thoughts?
Sangean WR-11 AM/FM Table Top Radio
Old analog dial radios explained it. This new retro radio does as well: https://www.amazon.com/Sangean-WR-11-Cabinet-Table-Analog/dp/B001BGGD8A
Something like that?
There are also micro-system that exists and sound pretty good. Yamaha makes one but they are more expensive. Also, you'll need a phono preamp if your turntable doesn't have one, but that's fairly small.
