They are using a music service that they get off of a satellite sort of a filler (In radio it is called stunting). They will be hiring a staff with real DJ types soon, I don't know whether they will be live or voice-tracked (pre-recorded to sound like they are live). Their rating3 that past

No, I meant it will be gone bc they no longer play that music any more. Why would they sponsor concerts at the Pony for bands that they do not play? As for their ratings- well all radio ratings are down. Don't know how much better a Z100 wannabe station would do. At least they had a niche.

It's definitely a loss to the entire music scene within it's listening range. I know so many people that listen to this station at work, and I'm sure they are up in arms, and in search of what to listen to next. This will probably be another nail in the coffin of terrestrial radio. --- In

Havn't posted in awhile...  I remember the original station when I was in HS, FM106.3.  That was a good station... Then it sold and out came G rock.  G rock was pretty bad when it first came out, for a few years actually...  But It got better.  I turned on the station the other day unaware

Like MIke just said, there are no hosts yet, so it has that cheesey sound to it.  G Rock had the same thing when they first came out, most stations do until they find real hosts.  I don't think its likely any of the previous hosts will carry over.  [Non-text portions of this

Grock was just a shell of the station that the old 106.3 was. As far as sponsoring shows in the area, most of the time radio stations aren't bringing these acts to the area they are just promoting the show through advertising. The acts will still come, the venues will just have to find other

Terrestrial radio is a dead medium. It's going to have to reinvent itself in order to compete with the technology that's replacing it. We now live in an on demand culture. The internet killed both the radio star and the video star, and it's given rise to the YouTube star, where everybody has
