Thursday Philly lost its only modern rock station. This is a huge loss for music in the area. Y100 was huge in permoteing local music and being involved with the community in charity events. The Parent company for Y100 pulled the plug over night with no warning at all. They walked in Thursday and fired every one at the station and went to a Rap format. Y100 was the 7th highest rated station in the market. It was killed because radio one states that its responsibility is to permote African American radio in its markets. This is the second time in 10 years they killed a modern rock station here. In 95 radio one acquired WDRE and killed it over night the same way. Most of its employees made there way to Y100 and now its happed agen. Only this time we are left with nothing. Please go to this website and sign the petition and help us get our station back.y100rocks.com
Please help us save our radio station!!!!!!!!

This is less about Rap vs. Rock and more about our ability to chose being taken away from us. This is just another opportunity for corporate America to take from us to make money. We need to send a message to Radio One that this is not right and they cant do this kind of thing with out some kind of pay back.
We too have lost all semi good radio stations here in the California Bay Area. Thats why I now have satalite radio

And that was just an ok station at best, but it was the best rock station in the bay area, thats really sad.The Kadvang said:RIP KSJO
What is sad is you are right. I don't even listen to the radio anymore now except when I gotta bump my boy 50 centBrian HCM#1 said:
Which is equally as crappy, as redundant, as full of hype and chatter as normal radio. Satalite sucks, don't waste your money.Brian HCM#1 said:Thats why I now have satalite radio
They've been axeing modern and alt rock stations around here left and right...one really popular modern rock station met the same fate as yours, Pulser. Shut down overnight, no warning, nothing. Now it's "JACK radio", whatever the **** that's supposed to mean.
This is why I have an Ipod, my personal radio station. Otherwise all there is around here is Rap and County and I'm not sure wich is worse.....
Dam ! I remeber listening to them Back in High school!The Kadvang said:RIP KSJO
Haven't thought about the stations out there in years.
And I am not goingto mention the ones I used to listen to because I'm sure they are all gone and been gone a long time and I don't feel like feeling that old , this early in the morning.
Well I like it, its nice to be able to hear what type of music I want anytime. Dj's aren't too bad, I can live with it.BuddhaRoadkill said:Which is equally as crappy, as redundant, as full of hype and chatter as normal radio. Satalite sucks, don't waste your money.
You arent going to win that battle. In South Florida over night we lost 1 of 2 rock stations (the one that remained was "Classic Rock." Anyway without warning ClearChannel turned 94.9 Zeta (the rock station) into what THEY CALL "Spanglish." :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry:
Luckily about 2 days later, one of the local, but smaller "Hip Hop" stations jumped ship and changed their format to Rock.
