NEW YORK (AP) - With a blast of Nirvana's "All Apologies," the 17-month effort to establish a talk station at New York's 92.3 FM ended abruptly Thursday afternoon with the return of K-Rock, the station's identity before Howard Stern departed for satellite radio in January 2006.

Well, FWIW, their site makes it look like they’ll be playing modern / alternative rock.
Try www.kaamradio.com Kaam is a Dallas AM radio station..but it’s broadcast in stereo on the net..they play everything, including a lotta standards from the ‘40’s and ‘50’s.. you might like it..especially “Jann McCoy in the Morning” (6-10 AM weekdays) He’s pretty good.
Not their best song, I'll grant you.
“Great, now we can hear “blinded by the light”, “working for a livin’” and that awful steely dan song that goes “are you reelin in the years”, (or something like that) every day again. I was going crazy not hearing those three songs every afternoon.”
LMAO
The call sign was just transferred to 106.9 last week.”
Man, what ever happened to Dr. Don Rose and his dumb jokes: “Two peanuts were walking in the park and one was assaulted.”
I read that he died in 2005.
“Two peanuts were walking in the park and one was assaulted.”
LOL! Don't tell me... the other peanut was his honey.

Yep, I just googled Mr Rose and found this interesting article.

I don't think so....

K-Rock was the only rock station in NYC before they took it off the air...then there were none. I’m so glad that when I go back to visit, my old station will be back! Great news! :)
"The station's been there for 80 years.
It's a shame that they were forced out of their frequency after four score years. I guess it's asking too much at this point for Movin' 99.7 and KFRC 106.9 to swap frequencies. It seems like certain genre's are settling into certain frequencies.
This reminds me of what happened to WAXY 106 in Miami. It's been years since I lived there, and I loved the station, but I recall hearing that a management oversight caused a lapse in refiling for their call letters, and on the day they expired another station (AM, I believe) shamelessly grabbed it and refused to let WAXY get them back. WAXY was forced to adopt a new callsign after establishing a brand and persona in South Florida for 40 years.

That’s really a shame what happened to WAXY. People have no sense of decency.
Ron and Fez have a great show. The ratings improved and the commercial spots they read on the show were laugh out loud funny.
I think it has to do with costs. Rush for example probably had previous deals with some AM stations keeping him there. Conservative show aren’t cheap as they bring in advertisers so many stations can only afford a few of them
It's [written by] Dylan, dude!
But I see, um, hear, er, use to hear, what you mean.
I read somewhere that WABC in New York City can be heard in 38 states after the sun goes down.
Unfortunately, 92.3 (WXRK) is owned by CBS Radio -- and I have steadfastly refused to listen to any CBS stations since those bastard fired Don Imus.
The reason for AM is economics. For numerous reasons, sound quality for music is pretty bad on AM compared to FM, and most people have a choice.
Rush basically saved AM radio with talk. The FCC sure didn't do it with AM stereo.
Sirius Satellite Radio.
All the talk shows (except Rush) that you could want.
There is even an NRA station!
No issues with signals (except in tunnels)
I have to tell you...
Right now, I'm watching Monty Python's Personal Best: Terry Jones' Favorite Sketches on KQED, and they just told that joke.
It was part of the Funniest Joke Ever Told sketch, where a man writes a joke, dies laughing from it, his wife finds him, sees the paper with the joke, reads it and dies laughing too. The British military find the joke, have a team assigned to translate it into German where each member is given one word only, then they read it on the battlefield killing Germans left and right. The Germans start a joke mission of their own, and when they finally broadcast their joke to the English, the joke is “Two peanuts were walking in the park and one was assaulted.”
