I never said that. The first time I listened to 92.3, it was a disco station.

Where will the ALT 92.3 Refugees Go? Options?

I know you aren't articles are.
Shhhh, we don't like to talk about that period, or Disco 92. We just pretend it never happened.
Funny how outside of PLJ, Z100 and CBS-FM people do not seem to remember the personalities. Just shows what a failure NOW and AMP was. If WKTU and WNEW went away tomorrow, would anyone be talking about the DJ's or even come here or FB to talk about it? This is in contrast to the following the rock formats have had.
You're talking about all the fans of Matt Pinfield?

They should move WFAN to 95.5 and bring back 101.9 RXP!!!!!!!
See, you can remember Matt Pinfield yet he left RXP over a decade ago. But can you remember anything about 102.7 and 103.5 from back then?
I remember him for other reasons. He took a lot of the same criticism as Elliot.
Audacy can't buy anymore stations neither can iHM (the 2 major companies in NY radio) K-Love would never give up 95.5!

I remember years ago, before Cumulus launched Nash FM, there was speculation that they were going to launch an alternative station after the loss of WRXP. Maybe there's still hope for them?
No. They're still crawling out of bankruptcy
And why would a radio company crawling out of bankruptcy figure its best shot at getting back in the black would be programming rock in rhythmic New York?
What kind of commercial operator is looking at the 1.x share WNYL has gotten over the last year or so and is gonna bring that back?
It’s safe to say that (commercial) Alternative is dead in NYC. It’s never coming back.

They left the market.
For now at least. Alternative has died and come back many times in the past 20 years. 92.3 (3 x) and 101.9 (2 x).
But racial/ethnic demographics and a general shift in musical preferences among rock's traditionally strongest age group are working against another comeback. Alternative used to be an alternative to similar but less adventurous/more commercial music being played on CHR. Now CHR is almost completely R&B/hip-hop and the music current rock bands play is not remotely related to it, which means alt is too different from the mainstream to attract enough of an audience.
And the availability of signals is reduced now, too, with WPLJ going non-commercial and WFAN-FM and WINS-FM going spoken word. All three are set for the long haul.
Sounds like Audacy's "Post Modern" Sunday morning flashback show with Scott Lowe is either being cancelled outright or is receiving a new host.
I'm listening on WDZH Detroit, and during his last break, he read a number of farewell wishes from Twitter followers and mentioned this would be his last show.

IHM and Audacy have ownership caps met. There's no other major company that owns stations that can or will buy anything. Emmis is leaving radio.
Scott was an employee of WNYL, so he likely recorded it during the week before getting his exit papers on Thursday.
95.7 the Ride, Charlotte, last time I checked.
