Rock, rock, rock, rock,rock ‘n’ roll radio

Annie’s brother Steven called tonight when Annie was out, so we chatted for a while about the family and what not. Then he told me about a new radio station he came across, one that played the good “classic rock” and mixed in old new wave and punk and a healthy dose of new alternative sounds.

The station sounded a bit like the old WNEW — that commitment to rock music of all stripes. I listened for a while on line tonight and it sounds pretty good. I don’t know if rock radio is making a comeback, but it is worth giving a shot — especially because I’d given up on commercial radio and listen almost exclusively to WXPN and WHYY (NPR).

Here’s the link to the new station: 101.9 RXP — The NY Rock Experience.

One thought on “Rock, rock, rock, rock,rock ‘n’ roll radio”

  1. I haven\’t hear that yet. I\’ll give it a try. Like you, I do a lot of XPN and HYY, as well as the New York NPR for classical at night occasionally, and 104.5 for a good harder rock mix. I\’ve also become a big fan of the seek button. I can usually find something at least interesting that I wouldn\’t have listened to without just random searching.
