Wow...apparently New York City has a real rock and roll radio station again. WRXP FM 101.9.
And dig what songs they played in their opening hour....
And if that's not promising enough, I just tuned in for the first time and they segued from the Allman Brothers into this:
Fastball? Hmm. I think I could get to like the place....

Thanks for the tip!
Just put it on here at work to check it out.

But you have to endure 30 minutes of commercials. How was the DJ banter? A mercenary or someone who knows the music?
I've been playing WRXP in my high school art classroom and it's gone over pretty well with the kids. Is the station perfect: no, is it good: no, but it is the first listenable rock & roll station in NYC since WPIX 28 years ago. No if they'd only start playing some roots rock.

I live in the 'burbs, so I don't know how well you can pick them up in the city proper, but 107.1 (The Peak) in Westchester is a better version of this particular format.
BTW, did you know that 102.7 actually unloaded the WNEW call letters - they now belong to a station in West Palm Beach!
Fastball song is a blatant Elvis Costello ripoff. We can do better.
The Fastball song is a rip-off of the Beatles doing Besame Mucho. I think it's hilarious and wonderful....
