Southwestern Ohio FM radio further descends into Hell...
http://www.journal-news.com/news/new...0673.4363.html
The pain is somewhat dulled by two things. First, the station will continue to exist online. Second, the station wasn't gobbled up by Clear Channel.
I know I've turned a few of you on to 97X online, and I hope it proves to be a viable business model for them. It's a very sad day for local listeners and local bands, though. 
He obviously misinterpreted what it means to "be bullish."

I still listen to WOXY freqently, though it is difficult out here in Clermont county.
When I lived in the city, I listened all the time.

Well, the real bad news for me is in-car listening. I've got lots of web radio sources that I enjoy.

One last bump.
97X signs off for good on Thursday, 5/13, and that includes the Web broadcast. At present, they haven't found an investor to keep the stream going, despite ranking #12 among the top 15 Internet broadcasters, and #1 among commercial radio stations broadcasting online.
They're in the middle of "97 A to X," an incredible retrospective of the tunes they've played over the past 21 years, organized alphabetically by song title. The local papers have been running eulogies over the past couple of days, quoting (among others) one Greg Dulli, whose work with The Afghan Whigs and The Twilight Singers has long been a fixture on the 97X playlists. Dulli himself used to spin records for the station on the overnight shift.
Farewell.

The man I loved - the man who vanished - he never came back at all. But maybe he's still out there, somewhere. Maybe some day, when Gotham no longer needs Batman, I'll see him again.

Best commerical music station I have ever heard. Most of the songs they play I have never heard on the radio.
http://indie1031.fm/main.html
I was driving and a song came on with the lyrics:
We are going to drop the neutron bomb
We are going to drop the neutron bomb
We are going to drop the neutron bomb ON YOU!
We are the red white and Blue
....
Cant remember the rest but funny as hell. Any one know who does it?

97X is my favorite radio station from the last 20 years...and it's free, and no money goes to Clear Channel. Plus, I've got a new job, and I'm currently without a window, so I'm not going to be able to listen to XM at work.

Fair enough. I would still recommend it as an alternative to FM radio. I am anti-Clear Channel as well, but you could also go Sirius
