I hear more bands from Philadelphia played on that station than anywhere in this area. XPN could learn a thing or two from them. 89.3 The Current in St. Paul, Minnesota is one of the best radio stations in the country.

I sure hope, despite Mr. Warren's comment, that this is not the first sign of a Yrock-less future.All the best to Josh & Joey. Thanks for all your work to make something out of nothing.

It was nice to listen to alternative radio and not hear the same radio-friendly hits played over and over again. Like all commercial radio, those two were pretty much unlistenable. It's too bad we're losing the fm broadcasts, but I'm glad that at least the streams will still be around.

I really hate to see Y-Rock go, and really like Joey and Josh and what they do for music in this city in general, not to mention the other DJs at the station...Heather, Amy, Reid, Andre, Jake, John, etc. Maybe there is a place for some of these people at 104.5? That station gets better all the time...they need some people to go in there and get the crap off there so the good stuff gets a push...but is it possible today on commercial radio to have a Modern Rock station that doesn't pander to a mainstream audience?
