K-Rock: What a Nightmare Situation

[RadioNation]

I'd like to know who was behind this fantastic PR move by Infinity with Free FM. Keeping stations like K-Rock on the air until Jan 2nd gives time for DJ's and everyone else to speculate and dilute the radio station further. I can't believe what this station has turned into. Moaning DJ's, no focus, one big cry fest. Give me a break- get some balls and get into reality. This is NYC! People have to carry their shoulders high and move on.

You know how you can tell if a station is worth listening to? If it was streaming online....would you listen?

RIP WXRK & Infinity 2006

The crying episode was one day only and it was on Stern which sort of excuses it in my oipinion since Julie slater was not the first person to cry on that show. Why what else has happened since the announcement that prompts you to say this? Booker is talking alot becuase he always has andd he's clearly jockying for one of the talk positions post flip.

So what else is problematic for you I would like to know to what you refer?.

Stern made that whole station what it is. I Live in Rhode Island, well out of the listening range of K-Rock, but as soon as Stern was hired there in 1986, I made it a point to visit the area on several occasions. I quickly became a fan of the radio station as a whole. Then in the late 80's and again in the Mid 90's I lived in the K-Rock listening area. It didn't matter if the station was Classic Rock, New Rock or Alternative. No matter what the format was I really enjoyed the programming.

Unfortunately now comes the end of an Era. Stern will vanish and so will the K-Rock that we all know and Love. K-Rock is going to die just like WNBC did back when Howard was fired. 92.3 in New York will never be the same. While I'm at it...... let me mention that David Lee Roth has got to be the worst choice for a replacement that I have ever heard. He is sure to guarantee that K-Rock sinks faster than the Titanic. Roth offers ZILCH! Carolla for the East Coast stations would have been a much better choice. You people out West got the better deal out of this mess.

Anyway.... I am glad that K-Rock2 lives online. I don't know if K-Rock 2 is a long term plan..... but I sure hope so. I like the music and it will at least keep K-Rock alive in some form. But as far as the terrestrial Signal is concerned, I predict that FREE-FM will die a quick death. At least we can all hope.

What I don't get is that this has all been done before by Infinity. WNEW-FM tanked as a 'hot talk' station. Opie & Anthony were the only show that did well, otherwise the station was a failure. What makes them thing that putting the same format on 92.3 a few years later will work? Now Infinity will have two turkeys in both 92.3 and 102.7. I understand the rebranding to get away from being the station that broadcasts "from the top of the Howard Stern building", but I don't understand both the retread format change and their choice of morning hosts.
