Station 101.5 is NJ101.5, the New Jersey Station. 105.3 is classified as urban/Black radio. The term Black was coined in 1964, when James Brown had a hit called Say It Loud, I'm Black and I'm Proud. Saying that one is Black is a self defining word in the Black Community. Even though most of

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.
