I also listen to Q104.3. It's basically the best Classic Rock station out of New York, but I wouldn't say it's amazing. There used to be one out of New York many years ago that I would classify as amazing and that would be WNEW 102.7. They would always play cutting edge rock and classics. Their tag line was 'Where Rock Lives' and it definitely did. They had the best DJ's around too. Sadly, it's no longer around. I also listen to another Classic Rock station based down the shore in New Jersey which is 105.7 The Hawk. They're pretty good also.

NPR is the equivalent to our CBC. Funny that your classic rock station is Q104 in NY same call letters as ours up here in Halifax!..lol

Every now and then I am surprised by what I find interesting when they do play some music. I am by no means a country music fan but this one popped up on the radio recently and I have to admit I quite like it, which I never thought I would??!!?? There's a simple honesty in the tracks on this site. http://www.irisdement.com/biography.html

CBC is the only radio I'll listen to, not the other FM stations with commercials. The CBC and probably NPR, also broadcast live concerts. The hosts are very knowledgable and interesting with interesting comments on the artists! Sometimes they have short interviews with the musicians. The station is commercial free!...and promotes new Canadian talent!!!!!!

I have Sirius in my car so I listen to that there. It's usually tuned to E Street Radio though. :biggrin:

Ah, I was never too into K-Rock for whatever reason. Always thought it was overrated. =\

How "many" would you define "Many years" as?

For those in the NYC area, I found that 101.9 is back to rock music (They switched to "Talk Radi" a few months back. Guess it didn't work out too well.). They advertise "New Alternative Music" but I heard a decent amount of older music mixed in there. Its the closest thing to a K-Rock from what I've gathered, and I always preferred WXRP (101.9) to K-Rock anyway. Just in case anyone's interested as I saw a couple NY posters in this thread.
