from www.therockofneworleans.com:
Thank you for listening to and supporting the Rock of New Orleans since we were born on November 13, 2006.
On July 1, 2010- 104.1 FM became “104-1 The Brew”- playing the Next Generation of Classic Rock from artists like Van Halen, The Police, Tom Petty, Def Leppard, Journey, and U2. We invite you to check it out at 104.1 FM in southern Louisiana or online at 1041thebrew.com where you can listen live right now.
If you're looking for the music that was played on the Rock of New Orleans, we've made it available HERE. You can also access it with an HD radio at 104.1 FM-HD2 or with the IHeartRadio app on your Blackberry, iPhone, or Droid. Many of you asked us to play more new music on the Rock of New Orleans. By accessing THIS LINK, you'll not only continue to hear the best of 90's rock, but a higher amount of new rock as well.

Been listening online for about 30 minutes now. Pretty decent selection:
Great White - Once Bitten Twice Shy
Boston - More Than A Feeling
Blue Oyster Cult - Don't Fear the Reaper
Def Leppard - Foolin'
Foreigner - Cold As Ice
Journey - Separate Ways
Steve Miller Band - Jungle Love
Yes - Owner Of A Lonely Heart
Motley Crue - Girls, Girls, Girls
Except for the Blue Oyster Cult, I could live with this.
Interesting...it sounds like the id's are by the same voice chick from Bayou 95.7...

and soon when they do a male voice it will be spud from bayou/wwl -am.................lol
;DSo no more new rock in New Orleans (except on rimshots).. what a shame espcially since the Brew has failed elsewhere, 95.7 is dominant mainly due to walton and Johnson.....
If Citadel had half a brain cell left, they would need to blow up 92.3 like yesterday, and let Ginty program a active rock station like he does with 93.7. Main thing about 104.1 was it rehashed the same songs over and over and people got burnt on them.
And if CC thinks that many people are gonna go run out to buy HD radios or gonna try and listen online (unless they have a unlimited data package mobile) CC can forget it.

I just dont get it, why go after another mid-pack rated station propped up by their morning show. I do see either 92.3 or 106.1 flipping to some sort of new rock. Both stations have a rock heritage in their DNA and could double their 12+ numbers overnight.

Really sad! I enjoyed 104.1 a lot, plus the lady dj's were hot! Shocked no one heard about this earlier...
That's what it sounds like is a new rehash of Bayou 95.7. Been listening for a while and other than the hair metal and lack of some of the late 60s early 70s rock (like Allman brothers) basically it's a redo.
What I love so much is this comment:
So basically screw your P1s ,They are out here telling you what they want, from a completely VTed station mind you.. You got half way decent Active/Alternative rockers being programmed regionally (WUSW 103.7 Hattiesburg, TK 101 on the Florida Coast, Hell even 94.5 the buzz out in Houston playing newer Rock and winning the demo) but instead you go with a format that may inch you up a hair ?!?!?!?!?
One of the things that helps Bayou is W&J.. I see this brew having it's head blown off in a year to year and a half... If Citadel was smart, they would attack NOW! They got Jason Ginty who programs KRDJ over in Lafayette still in the house in New Orleans last I heard, the 92.3 numbers suck hard and would get a big shot with a new rock format... Win Win for citadel if played right IMO

Where has the Brew failed elsewhere. It was successful in Milwaukee for a long time until they put a Top 40 morning show on it.
It's top 5 in PPM in Portland and it pulls steady 25-54's in Omaha, Columbus, and Oklahoma City

If "The Rock of New Orleans" was BORN in 2006, then where in the hell did I work for most of the 80's???????!!!!
Oh come on people Citadel? Have you forgotten what they did to 1067 The End. I agree 92.3 would be great (Better than 106.1), but with their programing record( Diva, Rockin country, Martini). I'm no expert but I do not see them jumping on this one soon. (although I do hope I'm wrong)

But you gotta remember, that was the work of a few people who thought they knew what people wanted and have been pretty much silenced by being let go and all.
Jason Ginty PDed if I remember RNO during the last classic rock station before loosing out to those in CC that wanted a news talker and who had lost ratings to a new Bayou because of W&J
Jason Ginty works if I remember still with Citadel in New Orleans and VTes it to Lafayette for his shift. It ain't hard to get someone already in house to go after what CC dropped and go after the more active with some alternative that they are doing over at Last Bastion's (Citadel Trust) KRDJ
But I do have a question? Who holds the affiliation over Walton And Johnson for syndication? I'm asking as I'm curious if CC will go in house and bring Rod Ryan to the Brew or if CC can pull the same stunt they did Entercon with Rush Limbaugh and "force them" off 95.7 to 104.1?
and to one commenter... Yeah the brew I was thinking of was the one in Milwaukee and another Brew I thought of was called the road which they flipped to brew.
It's a good sounding format I will give it to them and Bayou has been forced to change up their playlist apparently as I was hearing more hair metal today for some reason. But we had two classic rock stations from Katrina to 2006 with no new rock in New Orleans. I think done right 92.3 could bring up better numbers that what they are running right now with resources in house.. Why loose when you have a 2.0 audience almost guaranteed in New Orleans/ Baton Rouge without working for it IMO
RFLA - I respect you immensely but you're giving out too many props to Jason Ginty. What has KRDJ done but wallow at the bottom of the pile? I believe Ginty was also at the End. Wouldn't bet the ranch on it though.
Yes, he's in-house and probably cheap. But then we'll just get another bad station that won't get any numbers or advertisers and won't last.
Better than Diva? Anything is better than Diva. But Citadel doesn't have the money or the intelligence to do it right and program a station to win. They also don't have a Rock or Alternative pedigree.
I would not be surprised to see W&J on 104.1 within 6 months though.
Just my humble opinion.

What would W&J on 104.1 mean for 98.1 in Baton Rouge. 98.1 is, to my understanding, their strongest performing affiliate. A loss of W&J on 98.1 would also mean no more W&J for Lafayette, atleast on a decent signal.
On a related note, 106.3 in Houma( A great active rock station I might add) and 104.9 in Baton Rouge must be jumping for joy with one less competitor.

I think it would be great if we had a decent so-called new rock station. I don't care what you call it, I want to hear more newly released rock. Not just one new release every other hour either. Korn, Godsmack, Disturbed and others have new material or soon to be released material that you probably won't hear on the air...except for maybe on CPR from Biloxi. But then again, you can't really get it in the New Orleans area. Luckily here in Mandeville I can receive them.
Wayne, I can recall listening to you back in the day. That was a real rock station as far as I am concerned. It's a shame how they disgraced the call letters in these last few years.

Kind of funny how Clear Channel is still making new "Brew" stations after they destroyed the one that started it all in Milwaukee.
I guess I still have a sore spot the way Citadel destroyed the end after telling their listeners at vodoo fest that they would return after the repairs done post K.
Fieldtech1- you are correct about K-rock (106.3) but 104.1 gave us another choice for alt rock down on the lower end of the bayou. I only wish that I could also get 104.9 past Raceland.

First of all, 104-1 was a TERRIBLE active/alt/modern rock station. Grew up in NOLA and could not listen. Calling themselves the "Rock of New Orleans" while vt-ing from Tampa (or wherever) was a slap in the face !
Luckily, I run around the south and good rockers are 103-7 in Hattiesburg "The Fox Rocks", TK101 in Pensacola, and the cleverly-named "Project 9-6-1" in Atlanta. I do like 104-9 the X in Baton Rouge, but the previous comment about losing the station in Raceland was false - there are many times you lose them at I-10 & I-12. Their lack of ratings is lack of signal - and Guaranty has done nothing about it for years.
Even cash-strapped Citadel could improve on the lackluster former 104-1 as well as bring up the 92.3 ratings from the toilet - just don't bring Mike Tice with it (please). Let B-97 have Ryan Seacrest to get rid of that afternoon swirl, uh, trainwreck (how these two can make money doing this is how sad radio is today).
Finally, "The Brew" is one of the stupidest monikers along with Martini, Diva, The River. At least "Bayou" fits the area. Amazing how new formats always play all music with wide playlists to get us to listen and then drop down to an extremely limited playlist with lousy AM run-on-at-the mouth syndicated jabber. One of the reasons I quit "trying to listen" to 104 the X in Baton Rouge was they got away from locally-hosted mostly music AM drive to syndicated crap with a little music thrown in.
Let's see if someone can get NOLA a decent active rocker !
