WOXY.com Adds Vintage Alternative Rock Stream
Doing something that no terrestrial radio station can do, 97X WOXY.com has just added a parallel broadcast called WOXY Vintage. WOXY Vintage is a 24/7 broadcast stream dedicated to, well, vintage alternative rock. The folks at WOXY actually sum it up best:
Welcome to WOXY Vintage, the first new 24/7 streaming channel from WOXY.com dedicated to the history of Modern Rock, Alternative and Punk music. You'll hear nearly 30 years of adventurous, innovative and influential music from The Velvet Underground, The Clash, Talking Heads, The Smiths, Depeche Mode and much more. Consider it your Modern Rock primer.
Sound good? Well, it is. In fact, the Vintage stream just finished broadcasting the 16th annual Modern Rock 500, a Memorial Day tradition on 97X where they play the top 500 alternative rock tunes in reverse order, counting down to #1 (this year it was "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana). The new Modern Rock 500 will be re-broadcast this week, Tuesday-Thursday 11a-8p and Friday 11a to completion.

Actually, number one this year was Joy Division's "Love Will Tear Us Apart". :-)
