NYC Radio

[Laharl]

Hey,

although I´m not a New Yorker, I post this question into this board, cause I think it´s not a 'tourist-question'.
I´d like to know what radio stations you are listening to and if these stations have an internetstream. It would be nice if the station played rock or pop from the 90´s or the present time. Also there should be some moderated parts.
But the most important thing to me is that it is a station from the great city of New York! :D

[Laharl]

Now I know what´s the name of the genre I´m searching for:
AC/Adult contemporary music.
I also found a nice station wich is located on Long Island. This is nice too, but I´d like to have a station from NYC/Manhattan....

[Laharl]

Yeah, I´ve found one station from NYC, 1067 Lite Fm. They play a lot of nicq mucis, but in my opinion they have too little moderated parts. Up to now there were only aa few announcements...
Mh, come on, guys and ladies, there must be one or two people who can help me. :/

Try 104.3 FM..

[Laharl]

Thx, I will give it a trial! :)

Laharl, if you like alternative rock, check out the streams at wnyu.org and wfmu.org (out of jersey city, nj)

NY radio absolutely sucks now, it's so commercial and too much hip-hop and talk.

Give me Get the Led Out with 102.7

Stern on K-Rock

I have both Sirius and XM, regular radio in NYC is dead.

If I'm not mistaken, Get the Led Out is on Q104.3; 102.7 is a "Dance" station nowadays.

[Schadenfrau]

I do like WFMU, and even WBAI sometimes. STT757 is correct in saying that NYC radio pretty much sucks. It has all the diversity and charm of the music section in a Wal-Mart in any part of the country.

The original get the led out was 102.7

[STT757]

For a huge City that prides itself on it's edge and the music scenes it supported on the Lower East Side (Bowery Ball Room, CBGBs etc) it's sold it's soul to commercial conforms.

I honestly listen to more AM radio than FM when Im not listening to my satelite radios, FM is garbage.

San Francisco and Seattle are two cities I've been to where the radio dial still has some worth.

[Laharl]

@Anarchy77: Thx, I will listen to these stations. Maybe I like them.

Mh, so NY-radio sucks? What stations (adult contemporary would be nice) do you like? They do not have to be from NYC only anymore, now they can be from all over the USA.^^

If someone wants to listen to a German radio station:
1Live (www.1live.de) is not bad.

You are not.

102.7 went from the city's best rock station, to a talk-like station, to a "Blink FM" womens station and now they are somewhere in pop-land.

107.1 (or 3) USED to be an alternative station, but it went country (Y-107) after 103.5 went to electric-dance-pop from country. I do not know what 107 is now, I think it went back to pop.

104.3 was a heavier rock station, tehy went classic, and 92.3 used to be the classic rock station, they went hard rock, and now they are talk.

105.1 is a jersey station that playes some decent bluesy rock, but it is kind of low key and also hard to get sometimes....


Radio in NYC SUCKS YARBALLS. Every station has a paid-for playlist, OR is an all-request station that only plays what all the 18 year olds with cell phones call in to listen to evey 15 minutes.

BLEH!

I also recall a few years ago that 102.7 debuted, sometime in November, as the Christmas-song station. Two straight months of Christmas music, nonstop. That's all they played. I don't know how the DJ's made it through. Then, after the New Year, they unveiled their new Dance format, which seems to compete with KTU somewhat. I still think 104.3 is the best station around. 105.1 is Power 105 - a hip-hop station. I think you meant to write 101.5 is the Jersey rock/blues station. I rarely ever listen to it, and when I do, it's mostly talk. And finally...there's a station that plays country now? In New York City? We must be going down the tubes. When I'm not in the car, I stick with the iPod.

a superb radio of Jazz of “New York”

Didn't the country station go away? I seem to recall hearing about it, tuning in, then laughing about the fact that the format had changed to yet more salsa music.

105.5 then, WDHA.

105.1 used to be (way back) WNSR, "New" soft rock, then it went the way of the Huey Lewis/Phil Collins and dissapeared from all but Disney Flicks.

And Comelade, WBGO is an EXCELLENT jazz station. I try to steer people away from CD 101 to that station. Kenny G can kiss my non-permed arse.

Yeah, I think teh country station did go away. They were not making immediate sales revenue, so instead we get white-boy salsa.

Oh, and if I see one more Ill Yega Me Tega (or whatever) add out there I think I am going to torch it.

I like to listen to Jazz and Classical in my cab, when there is nothing interesting on NPR.. But the reception is not very good on 88.3, some of the time...:(

Why is that, Comelade ?..

[ablarc]

A nice mix: WKCR, 89.9 FM.

sorry, I live in France and I listen to the American radios of Jazz and Blues via Internet :)

A nice mix: WKCR, 89.9 FM. Yes it's a very good radio, I also rather often listen to it
