WFNX Going Off the Air Friday Night: What Will You Miss Most?
Boston's beloved alternative radio station goes off the air Friday night.
A sad truth is upon us: Boston's 101.7 WFNX is going the way of The Rat, The Axis, The Avalon, WBCN 104.1, The Curse of the Bambino, The Big Three era and any other local end-of-an-era cliche you can come up with. WFNX got started in 1983 and ran strong until they sold the station to ClearChannel. So with that in mind, use the comments section to share memories you may have from FNX. What band did they turn you on to? Who was your favorite DJ? Where will you find out about new music or upcoming concerts? WFNX has announced that it will continue as a web streamed radio station, but the 101.7 spot on the radio dial will never be the same.

BTW - perhaps it's time to consider starting an Association for Independent Radio Stations, to protect the remaining non-mega-corporate institutions out there. more ›
