It was announced earlier in the week that the New York radio station 101.9 WRXP The NY Rock Experience would be going off the air tonight at midnight. What a sad, sad day for rock in New York City. The city and surrounding areas are left with Q104.3 New York's Classic Rock and really no other viable rock station. There are practically no stations that play new rock, at least none as well known as 101.9 WRXP. Such a shame, the station was a beacon of hope for New York City; it supported local acts as well as the big acts, had great concert giveaways/giveaways in general, and always strived to be the best station in New York City. The station's ratings had been going up steadily over the past year, so the sale of the station (click the link for a solid story of the sale and some heartfelt comments by program director Leslie Fram) came as quite a shock. The new guys, Merlin Media, seem like they will be changing the format from rock to... something else. What a shame. 101.9 RXP The NY Rock Experience, you will be greatly missed.
I thought some of the lyrics to this song were particularly fitting for this sad moment:
"You're gone from here
soon you will disappear
fading into beautiful light
cause everybody's changing
and I don't feel right"
