This will be the 4th time CBS has killed rock in NYC. WNEW-FM, K-Rock twice and now WRXP.
As far as the numbers do not lie and this is the future, well just take a look at the numbers for each news/talk and FM sports format in NYC. Complete and utter disaster each time. WRXP is doing far better on auto-pilot. Seems CBS is ignoring the numbers and is attempting a repeat of past and current failures.

I agree. Spoken word isn't working on FM. I don't mind the whole sports thing on FM. However, don't kill a station that is filling a role that NO OTHER station in the market is doing! Go after 92.3 where they're losing horribly for the past 4 years!

Never mind Boston, Detroit, DC, Phoenix, New Orleans, Indianapolis, Dayton, Atlanta, Jacksonville, Birmingham, San Francisco, Seattle, Salt Lake City, Pittsburgh, etc., etc. |

Good going CBS. I hope your station fails. You disappoint rock fans all over the country in New York in Philly...There better be a return of New Rock or a GOOD rock station back in New York. I refuse to hear Flo-Rida and Maroon 5 on EVERY SINGLE STATION IN THIS CITY!
Pray to the [rock] gods that a 94.7 miracle takes shape? |

We don't know what will happen with the CBS properties in the next month. Maybe NOW will be relaunched as k-Rock. Fresh and CBS-FM are ganging up against WLTW (the latter is at #2 in the market), so they're safe. NOW is the weakest link. This is just one part of a puzzle. |

Like I said, if you want a better rock station which is on 101.9, I would recommend WRRV. They got a better choice for alternative rocks than "New Rock" which you are going to miss soon. Check out the link. There's astream where you can listen to online. Check it out. http://www.wrrv.com |

The most annoying thing of it is, they should have just placed the "FM New" format as a placeholder. No one would care if that was killed for WFAN, since AC/Hot AC is available on WPLJ, WWFS, and WLTW. Instead, they put on a format that has been missing from NY radio, got fans excited, and then pulled the plug (the second time.) It really goes to show you that Merlin has no idea what it is doing.
