Rockin' in the NYC

In this age of IPods, music downloads, satellite radio, NPR, and media consolidation, the state of commercial music radio has fallen into a sorry state. Here in NYC, its decline has been particularly acute, especially since the old WNEW went talk, then pop. But in the last couple of years the ratings for rock radio have surged. And now that CD 101.9 has flipped to rock, New Yorkers suddenly have THREE strong rock stations to choose from.

For those about to rock, 3 radio stations recruit you

One reason for the revival: these stations have great New York-centric DJs like Bob Buchman, Jim Kerr, and Maria Malito.
