NYC Fantasy Dials (FM/AM)
- Thread starter 101.9 La Kalle
- Start date
NYC is still a poor college sports market, but both Rutgers programs seem to be on the right track at long last. Do you know if Rutgers buys its time on WFAN and WCBS and recoups the costs by selling advertising for the broadcasts, or if the radio stations are paying rights fees to Rutgers?
In that case, Rutgers really needs to update their radio listings.

While we're at it, let's revert channel 5's callsign to WABD, have channels 9, 11 and 13(!) become independent stations again (and 9 become independently owned), channel 25 become a true educational station once more and channel 31 be reclaimed by the City of New York.
I don't do fantasy sports, and I don't do fantasy radio dial lineups. Live in the present.

My fantasy is that every person gets served at least one station that they like.
Which has never been the case at any time in the history of radio. People have always had alternative sources of information and entertainment, everything from movies, newspapers and live music to humming their favorite tunes to themselves.
My list:
92.3 Alt 92.3
93.1 Same format
93.9 WINS
94.7 Same
95.5 Country
96.3 Same
97.1 Z97.1 (Top 40)
97.9 CBS FM
98.7 Tropical
99.5 Fun 99.5 (Hot AC)
100.3 (blank nothing, give DXers a chance to hear WRNB Philly and DX the side frequencies)
101.1 (See 100.3)
101.9 CD 101.9
102.7 Same
103.5 Hip Hop
104.3 Same
105.1 Same
105.9 The Breeze softer AC
106.7 Same
107.5 Same
Obviously I shifted things around to make 100.3 and 101.1 non existent. A NY DXers dream!

You do realize that someone somewhere would use those frequencies, right? It could be a translator in a nearby suburban county or it could be a pirate broadcaster.
Yes, I know, but my ability to suspend disbelief is limited when it comes to things like radio.
| Frequency: | Format: | Station Name: |
| 92.3 | News | WINS |
| 93.1 | Spanish A/C | 93.1 WPAT |
| 93.9 | Public Radio | WNYC |
| 94.7 | Alternative | 98.7 The End |
| 95.5 | Hot A/C | 95.5 PLJ |
| 96.3 | Spanish CHR | X 96.3 |
| 97.1 | Hip Hop | Hot 97 |
| 97.9 | Tropical | La Mega 97.9 |
| 98.7 | Country | 98.7 WYNY |
| 99.5 | Rhythmic CHR | Kiss 99.5 FM |
| 100.3 | CHR | Z100 |
| 101.1 | Classic Hits | CBS FM |
| 101.9 | AAA | 101.9 The Apple |
| 102.7 | Classic Hip Hop | 102.7 The Vibe |
| 103.5 | Dance | 103.5 KTU |
| 104.3 | Classic Rock | Q 104.3 |
| 105.1 | Hip Hop | Power 105.1 |
| 106.7 | A/C | 106.7 Lite FM |
| 107.5 | Adult R&B | 107.5 BLS |
This is actually a pretty solid fantasy dial.
Thank you. 😊
Something that's not a dream though is the 101.1 frequency is now owned by the same company (Audacy) with multiple stations covering numerous cities, such as New York, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Houston TX, Greenville SC, and maybe even a few others. I'm actually surprised they don't all simulcast as one BIG station.
In that case, I would love for our local 101.1 WROQ here in Greenville SC to simulcast WCBS-FM, or better yet, KRTH 101 from LA, since our local Earth FM WRTH will be gone soon (going to EMF / Air1).

Every market is different and should have different playlists and formats too.
Even though it’s lower power, what would go on 105.9?
This fantasy stuff is, let's face it, kind of silly. But to me, it's interesting. What would I like to listen to? I'm glad you asked. Something like this.
