The Return Of WOXY

[Footix]

WOXY.com has somehow lined up new investors who will fund the relaunching of their webcasting.

Since WOXY went off the air, I've spent most of my online time listening to the fine broadcasts of KEXP/Seattle, and WOUR/Athens, OH.

I listen to WOUR-AM, an NPR station from Ohio U, to hear one of this forum's frequent posters deliver station events & PSA's in an elequent yet somehow sardonic delivery, while using a "radio voice" that easily lets you imagine he's cupping a hand over his ear "Gary Owens style". Good fun, most mornings from 10-12 EST.

Unfortunately for WOXY, I've become a KEXP addict. I like their style a bit more than WOXY's, and appreciate their higher mix of older tracks into their playlist than WOXY's. Also, KEXP's kind of adopted NYC as it's second home (or vice versa) and now actually sponsor shows & events out here due to their burgeoning NY metro listenership.

X97.7 has become my favorite station.

It's like 97X was without all the crappy stuff that they only played cause it wasn't popular. They weeded out the filler stuff and only play good stuff now.

So surprised you and NYR Metro didn't hit the fair together...

KEXP is an outstanding station. Their variety mix shows are truly variety, and their DJ's all have different and eclectic tastes, so their shows never get stale.

Nice avatar ya got there, Footix.

Same here, there's no going back.

--Count me in the KEXP crowd. I'm glad WOXY is back, but I've found a new home.

Just to add to the huzzahs here --

I've been listening to KEXP this past week and it's indeed great.

AND -- Their "playlist" page is incredible!
They have basically realtime info on the tracks you're hearing (The "Now Playing" service on WOXY, still love em, was always a bit delayed). Plus the info is complete with artist, track, album, and label. And every now and then the DJ adds notes, e.g. websites, upcoming shows, etc.

Truly impressive.

Maybe this thread should be re-titled, "In Praise of KEXP." :)
