Rock: Officially Dead on the Airwaves of New York FM Radio; RXP is Going Talk

[I am Scags]

And this just proves once again that radio is dead! With so many alternative media sources, who really needs to tune their station an FM channel anymore?

I actually thought RXP sucked. Maybe its because I'm just not into some of the local indie bands they seemed to play, but I just never liked their playlist. Once in a while you would get some decent classic rock and few 90s and 80s songs that you just didn't hear anymore, but overall I was let a little down.

 

I would listen to 1043 more often, but I can't listen to Springsteen and Billy Joel every 10 minutes even though I like them both.

 

I listened for those 90s tracks, which they played every so often. I tuned in to hear Green Day, STP, Alice in Chains, etc. and that's what I got, often. Yes, they played a lot of weirder indie stuff, which I just dealt with or turned the radio off or down for, but one way or another they were the only station left playing legitimate alternative rock. 104.3 is too old, and so is 102.3. I want to hear 90's rock, not the same Boston, Foreigner, etc. tracks.

Sucks that you're too far north to tap into 95.5 NJ. The Rat is a decent station.

 

Isn't 105.5 rock as well?

 

Also - iHeartRadio app - DC 101. EXCELLENT station

 

105.5 WDHA in Dover NJ does not get a signal in NYC, you lose its signal once you get past the Meadowlands.

yea I'm with you on that, and thats why I really don't listen to 104.3 anymore. Although I've noticed that in the last few years their playlist has expanded more to 90s stuff, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, etc because nobody really wants to hear Steppenwolf and Mamas and the papas anymore.

I remember when we used to have 102.7 and 92.3 and it was strictly Stones, Zeppelin, older first gen classic rock like that. Thats almost entirely gone from NY radio.

[Phil]

I'll have to give 104.3 a shot again, once RXP dies.

Ah, well that sucks.

This fucking sucks. I listen to the radio when I sleep. I was pissed when Krock died and was replaced by the 4th top 40 station in NY, now RXP to be replaced by talk? How are there NO current rock station in NY. That's incredibly stupid.

First K-Rock... now this. Guess I'm back to not listening to FM radio, ever. :(
