WFUV is the best radio station in New York, hands down. I've heard more good new songs on that station in the last 2 weeks as I've heard in 2 years on mainstream radio.

That's because it's not supported by mainstream advertising.

Absolutely. Although they are on a fund-raising drive now, and I feel like I should send them SOMETHING.

It's really good. It's somewhat similar to 101.9, but more adventerous, yet without being too 'strange'.

highly recommended.

101.9 needs to distance themselves from 104.3, and that means a lot less classic rock standards, and more deeper, and newer, songs.
I thought 101.9 was smooth jazz...:::sings::: "smooooooth jaaaaazzz cd one-oh-one-point-nine"

?

I also prefer CT stations, at least the adult contemporary ones. I think 99.9 and 96.7 are a lot better than 97.5 these days (they seem to be getting into pop garbage that you can hear on BLI).

Not a Long Island station but I've been enjoying one that's playing just stuff from 1960 thru 1979. Rock, Pop, R&B, Soul, Bubblegum (a lost art) and a lot of almost forgotten stuff that still sounds good. It even has an old DJ, and I do mean old, that still delivers the way Cousin Brucie, Harry Harrison and those guys at ABC did. What I like about AM radio from those days is the variety of what was played and what topped the charts. FM rock radio in the 70's also had a lot of variety that reflected the DJs tastes. These days it's all narrow focus, corporate picked play lists that leave the listeners bored after a few days of listening to the same thing over and over.

My sons heard My Ding-a-Ling by Chuck Berry (his only #1) and couldn't believe what they were hearing. Good to hear them laugh at the same "naughty" stuff that I did at their age. Mom wasn't amused that they came in singing the chorus over and over.
