Not Too Late To Change The Name

Good news!

Boston used to have a pretty decent commercial-alternative radio station, WFNX. Then I moved to Germany. On a visit back to the states in May 2001, I noted that 'FNX had turned to crap. More specifically, it had turned into an all-boy corporate cock rock extravaganza, and apparently they'd lobotomized their DJs to boot.

'FNX is coming back. That link is a bit fawning, as it goes to a blurb by the Boston Phoenix, which is owned by the same media company as the FNX radio network, but the writer does disclose. Sort of. If you think the word "flagship" actually means anything, that is.

Now if only the commercial-alternative radio frequency of my youth, 92.7 (formerly WDRE) out of Long Island, would return to form. The playlist at the "new" 92.7 could be worse, I suppose, and the website includes DRE history like the shreek of the week. Though I'm tempted to re-order the list chronologically for 1989-1993.
