I'm disgusted with radio too.
WEMP will be a failure, if any have tuned into to hear the train wreck it is right now. It seems if you're a man radio could care less, they only want the rich wives and stupid girls with money to blow. Yet most of these people dont listen to the radio at all! They should bring back WRXP forthwith!
NYC has to have the worst radio stations in the country. They all play the same ghetto pop like Kesha, Usher,
I've gotten pretty much turned off the whole dance music scene ever since it embraced hip hop.
I, too like rock music, esp the new wave acts and some of the newer stuff like Kings of Lean and Coldplay.
The problem is here in Nassau one can only pick up the NYC stations (which mostly suck). Of which I only listen to Q 104.3 and CBS FM. But they have a tendency to play the Beatles, Stones, Joel to death. They leave out groups like The Split Enz, The Cure, Psychadelic Furs (anyone who grew up with 'LIR remembers).
WBAB comes in weak here but its the same situation as with the Q. WEHM is pretty good and so is 99.1 WPLR when I'm out east. WRCN used to be good but if anyone's noticed since they were sold to JVC (the same wonderful company that owns Party 105) that they hardly play any 80s rock anymore its all 70s, and the audio is unbearably poor, due to JVC being too cheap to pay for a decent STL (studio to transmitter link), instead they are streaming audio via IP.
Down in S.Jersey the radio choices are much better, with the stations from Philly as well as 105.7 The Hawk and 103.7 The Shark.
Think about how many stations we have on LI that play that Pit Bull, Kesha crap..
In NYC you have 92.3, 95.5, 97.1, 100.3, 102.7, 103.5, 105.1, and 106.7 all playing that crap (how anyone can call Lady Gaga "Lite" is beyond me)
On LI you have 106.1, 97.5, 98.3, 105.3, 101.7 playing it. Then throw in the garbage thats on 94.3.
Everything here is too damn urban. Well, I guess it only reflects what's happening to the area.
