So there's a NEW radio station in town, town being New York City. It's actually the OLD 92.3, which bombed with its hybrid of current/classic rock. Once the station lost Howard Stern, it was just a matter of time. Opie & Anthony, who'd been KROCK's biggest names since Stern's departure, were also let ago as the station changed formats to....wait for it...CURRENT POP!!

Yes, kids, as if Z100, K104, KTU 103.5 weren't enough, now we have yet ANOTHER venue to listen to Kanye, Britney, The Pussycat Dolls, etc etc. Honestly, would it be so hard to program say, an OLDIES station that didn't SUCK and still do well in the ratings, i.e. earn enough in advertisting dollars to stay afloat? CBS-FM does well in the ratings, so I'm not knocking them because they're putting out what sells to the idiot sheep who listen. I shudder to think who actually tunes in for any length of time that isn't forced to listen in delis, shopping malls, offices with its inoffensive mix, destroying our beloved music in the process with their inane repetition and uninspired segues.

But there IS a void in the New York/Hudson Valley area which is spelled O.L.D.I.E.S. and also Energetic Rock like the music featured on The Primitive Show or Little Steven's Underground Garage. I'm utterly convinced that a station that focused on a mix like these two shows, sans the Chili Peppers, Pink Floyd, Zeppelin et al would score big time.

Ahh, but what do I know? I grew up thinking The Monkees were better than The Beatles....

Feel free to Comment or Email. THANKS for listening!
