They are playing papa roach after a pretty solid set list of tool, offspring, red hot chili peppers, and led zepplin. Nu metal killed rock already once, this genre (with the obvious exception of Linkin park) should be relagated to the dustbin of history, much like motley crue and poison were in the mid and late 90s. Must.....fight.....urge...to change....station.

Why is Free-FM playing Nu-Metal

F-Fr-Free ? Good day, sir!
Being that this is a second chance for K-Rock. If this was my station,my K-Rock i would lean heavy on the 90's grunge, rock, alternative,mainly cause that was a popular era, I would play the the new rock also but i would dig deeper with the 90's rock, well known artists such as Nirvana, Soundgarden, Smashing Pumpkins, Oleander, Local H ect.,but deeper tracks on there cds, cutting back on repetition. Ex. Green day basket case, Coming Clean, JAR, hitching a ride, geek stink breath, minority, ect. Pearl Jam, blood, animal, hail ect. Then to be unique every other hour i would throw in some metal, like pantera, killswitch engaged, Fear Factory, old metallica, Soil, slipknot or stone sour, or shadows fall. Twice or three times an hour i would play alternative, but mainly this would be an 90's leaning active rocker. Thoughts?
i'd stay away from the metal.
Grunge rock acts with variety of songs = proven success (Seattle Sound, Sublime, Rage Against the machine, Beastie boys), mix in some accessible classic rock (Led Zepplin, Ac/DC, Gun and Roses), and I'd try to play some of the new stuff, that 30 seconds to mars song is pretty good. Tge grundge is obviously goign to form the skeleton of the format, but i think its smarter to lean younger and sophisticated rather than older and more agressive. My take anyway.

K-rock is just as boring as it was when they left the airwaves, a dull, tight, mundane playlist that looks like this
RHCP
Guns and Roses
RCHP
Pearl Jam
RHCP
Nirvana
Papa Roach
Lincoln Park
RHCP
Tool
Metallica
interesting on their site is this Yes feature which reports playlists from all over America. K-rock should look at the variety many other stations in the rock firld apply. Maybe a track from a band like Moe. here and there, a AAA track mixed in,. The same 20 worn out late 90's and classic metal artists, will bore most listeners to tears. K-rock will serve their purpose as a background station at the work place, never an important place to hear "new music". If that is their goal, fine. They will have an older audience and the younger Demo will run far away from Red hot Chili Peppers all day all the time. Look at the YES.COM feature on their page, diversity in rock formats seems to be the trend, the old 30 bands all the time, seems to be the recipe for mediocre radio. Keep going this way is 10 years FM radio will have an exclusive over 40 audience

I dunno when i saw RHCP at the Mullin center 10k+ college age kids seemed thrilled to be seeing a rock legend even if it cosst a weeks worht of party money.
I do however think k-rock better be careful with the meathead nu-metal, as new york is an educated town, and all the meatheads are listening to Power 105 of Hot 97. the rock audience is going to be more sophisticate dthan their programming suggests they think they are.

I don't really listen to active rock on the new K-Rock. It is a dumb station, and CBS should go down the drain.
