WTF?
I tuned into 92.7 for some alternative music and God only knows what started spewing out of my stereo.  WTF happened? Did they go under? Any L.I. 'ers have any idea what happened. better yet, are there any alternative stations to listen to? XM here I come!!

Same reaction here.
Apparenty the Spanish station offered mucho dinero for the license and WLIR sold out. Which is funny, because WLIR was actually WDRE which replaced the original WLIR in 1988. I wore black for a week to mourn at the time. |

I remember DRE. It rocked! I'm really pissed off over this. Oh well, the vette goes in for a custom stereo (with XM) next week. It can't come soon enough. |

Yeah, Jarad broadcasting sold 92.7 to some massive Spanish owned broadcast group for 60 million in October of last year. Sux ass The new one is 94.3 which you probably don't get. It's weak and out of Smithtown. |

The DRE call letter are still alive on the easy end of LI as 107.1.
Jarad broadcasting holds the following... 94,3 "The Island" 98.5 "The Bone" Hair metal and other shit. 107.1 "The Box" truest to the old 92.7 format. |

Here's the skinny on the source of your pain....
October 1, 2003 Univision Radio to acquire N.Y. station for $60M Univision Radio, the Dallas-based radio subsidiary of Univision Communications Inc., has agreed to buy New York station WLIR-FM from Jarad Broadcasting Co. Inc. and the Morey Organization Inc. for about $60 million in cash. The transaction, which is subject to regulatory approval and other closing conditions, is expected to close in the first quarter of 2004. Los Angeles-based Univision Communications said it would finance the purchase using its credit facility. WLIR-FM currently operates a modern rock format in Long Island, New York City and southeastern Connecticut. As part of the agreement, Jarad Broadcasting said it would move WLIR to a new dial position. The Morey Organization owns three other FM radio stations in the market as well as a weekly newspaper, The Long Island Press. Univision Radio was formed last month after the Federal Communications Commission approved Univision Communications' $3.4 billion purchase of Dallas-based Hispanic Broadcasting Corp. Hispanic Broadcasting became the radio division of Univision and was renamed Univision Radio. Univision Communications (NYSE: UVN) is the largest Spanish-language media company in the United States. In addition to Univision Radio, its holdings include Univision Television Group; Galavision, a Spanish-language cable network; Univision Music Group; and Univision Online.

The Kenwood Here2Anywhere add on to the stock Rockford Fosgate stereo in my Nissan Xterra.
 Keep in mind that many nice systems have come out since and if you're looking to get rid of the stock head unit in your vehicle a dedicated head unit system with Sattelite receiver built in will sound "cleaner" due to lack of FM Modulator. I say check out Crutchfield to research and see what they have. I had my install done by BestBuy in Melville(Route 110) Long Island. |

Sherm, is that the same 107.1 that used to broadcast out of Briarcliff Manor in Westchester as WRNW, then went country? Edited to add: ChrisLe: treat yourself to an Alpine head unit with an XM tuner....you can mix and rip mp3s and get your choice of nationwide radio that reminds you how suckified FM has become.... |

I was upest when 104.3 swithched to the classic rock format from hard alternative. I remember turning on the radio after work and hearing some beat to death song and coulldn't believe my ears. At the time there were three or four classic rock stations in the NY area. For having the largest population in such dense area, the radio dial sucks ass in NY. |

Agreed. San Diego, on the other hand, had some outstanding radio stations. I almost didn't leave Pendleton.... |
