92.9 WZML is Philly’s Classic Alternative. The first station in the country that adopted the classic alternative format.

Y100 is a heritage brand that people still remember today.

I don't actually think ZML is the first to adopt the classic alt format, to be fair.
 
why dont you try and grab 104.1 mt laurel, bring this format to an area which embraces this type music, much better than west philly......ritmo seems to be playing games this station has great coverage....
 
In fact WOLT gets a 3 share in Indianapolis, which is better than WRFF in Philly.

Three of the past four surveys were near a 2 share, and AQH share over the past year is below 103.3's long term average.

Satellite radio has done classic alternative since the beginning, 2001. I bet some online radio station did it even earlier then that.

Lucy on XM launched in 2004, Lithium on Sirius in 2008 it looks like.

On the FM dial, the earliest true "Classic Alternative" stations I can think of:

103.1 the Wave- Salt Lake City
97.5 Radio X- St. Cloud, MN

and more recently, 95.1 the River- Texarkana, and of course 99x Atlanta, Indy 103.3 Indianapolis etc.

Sirius 1st Wave was available at launch, XM‘s Fred the same. Both with a 80s focus, the 90’s focused classic alternative channels came later.
 
I believe when Sirius first launched they had a good all Punk channel, and their classic alternative was deep. When both merged they unloaded many good channels, its sad they combined, competition makes a good listen but greed is king.

I used to love "Faction" when it was a mix of punk, hard rock and old-school rap. They spin "Faction Punk" into its own channel, which is somewhere in the 300s or 400s. Newer radios can get it.

You can hardly accuse them of "greed" when neither was making money after years of trying.
 
Since listening to Live 105 in the Bay Area, I’ve been all nostalgic here, look at this classic Y100 commercial! Look at Preston & Marilyn.
