My favorite radio station, WFNX, is going off the air tonight at 7pm. It's been on the air for 29 years, and was instrumental in breaking a ton of alternative bands, most notably Nirvana (and virtually any band from Boston worth mentioning), all while being independently owned and operated.
It sucks when this happens. My favourite radio show, Brave New Waves, went off the air in 2007. I listened to it nearly every night at midnight for seven years. That show introduced me to so many acts: GY!BE, Kim Hiorthoy, Supersilent, William Basinski, Mirah, Destroyer, Kevin Drumm - the list goes on.
