not PJ, but I heard Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses by U2 yesterday. Haven't heard that on the radio since the 90's.

Thin Air on right now!

I heard thin air the other day and just heard In Hiding at 12:30.

awesome. every time I turn it on now, I get some indie band I've never heard of. They've been going far too "Experimental" for me since Matt Pinfield came on board. I liked it a lot better when it was DJ-less

I don't think the indie route is necessarily a bad thing though. They still play a lot of the familar radio songs you'd hear elsewhere.

I've heard Wishlist and RVM on this station!

i heard springsteens radio nowhere then it went right into PJs corduroy.
I was very happy, even tho i was on my way to work .

not saying it's necessarily bad, just not my cup of tea. If people like that, discovering new bands, cool. I just liked it better when they debuted, just barebones rock. No DJ's, no banter, very few bands I had never heard of. I think I posted on this very thread, hoping they would stick with the no-DJ route

yeah, I've seen it at the NY radio boards, and in a few of the papers. Maybe 10 years ago, I would have cared. Now KRock has become a joke. Their format changes with the wind. I'm hoping this 101.9 station takes off. Do they have DJ's? I haven't heard any yet, and I hope they don't. When krock went back to music, I thought it was great that there were no DJ's. Then the idiots who like to talk over songs slowly came back. then the infatuation with the Beastie Boys came back too. And I left. Again

I went 2 for 2----Krock/country music rumors, and the station staying DJ-less. Another funny thing reading from 9 months back----Xavier talked of being bored of the All clemens all the time sports talk. Well, I pretty much quit sports talk cold turkey. Francesa solo is unbearable. I can only take Michael Kay in extrememly limited doses.

I think I'm in the minority of enjoying Francesa solo. As arrogant as he can be, it's like a serious talk show with no schtick and gimmicks.

ehhh, it's not for me. Droning on and on, very repetitive. i think sports bores him now, after he and Russo did the Imus timeslot for a while, and branched out into other areas, like politics.

It was kind of amusing on election day. It was like listening to the Francesa political roundtable.

Getting back on topic, another reason I'm a fan is that program director responded to my email when I asked to hear more Pearl Jam and related music on the station.

does anyone remember when 104.3 used to be a hard rock/metal station? they were awesome.

then someone decided we needed ANOTHER classic rock station instead.
:(

xavier mcdaniel

yes, they were alternative/metal from october 1993 right after they switched from classical. that lasted until sometime in 1996.

This Holiday Season, 101.9 RXP is helping to give back. Starting at 6am on Friday morning and lasting until Sunday evening, 101.9 RXP will be on-site in the center court of the outlet mall, collecting non-perishable foods and monetary donations to benefit the Community FoodBank of New Jersey, dedicated to alleviating the direct effects of hunger and poverty in New Jersey. Attendees will also have the opportunity to enter to win a Jersey Gardens shopping spree.

yeah i listen to it, anything with Matt Pinfield on it I will check out. I have listned to him for years since his WHTG 106.3 days here in NJ. The man is a fountain of Music knowledge. I remember he used to DJ at some local clubs around town also, the amount of CD's he used to bring was unreal, he had anything you wanted to hear always.

It's like a cross between K-Rock and Q-104 with some WPLJ sprinkled in.

According to David Hinckley of the Daily News there's a rumor that Emmis is considering selling the station to ESPN. But Emmis says it's not true.
