Like a phoenix, WOXY.com (nee 97X) will soon be rising from its own ashes.
According to this monster message board thread, serial entrepreneur Bill Nguyen and some investors will be acquiring the station, likely salvaging most of its talented on-air staff (Barb is headed to Minnesota to work for The Current).
Possibly even more exciting about this news is the fact that Nguyen's involvement will bring scads of new technology to WOXY.com, such as a rumored "listener-created radio" (what that exactly means remains to be seen), higher quality audio streams, interactive/targeted advertising (the bills gotta be paid somehow), and some new ideas for making Internet radio more portable (something I've complained about before).
My hunch is that more official news will be posted on the WOXY.com website very soon.
Good luck guys...let's make this third time the charm, eh?
