Got this from Pop Candy:

The return of WOXY?

Pop reader John E. has been keeping me updated on the possibility of WOXY.com returning to the airwaves. It seems investor Bill Nguyen is interested in integrating the defunct radio station with Lala.com, so keep your fingers crossed.

Keep an eye on the WOXY message boards for developments. In previous posts, Nguyen has said he'd like to make the station free with higher-quality audio. DJs would retain complete editorial control, and the new station would include more exclusive in-house performances. It all sounds good to me -- let's just hope it's not too good to be true.

I think this would be very cool. I really hope it goes through.


Last Friday afternoon, at 5:35pm, woxy.com signed off after 23 years, 17 on the radio waves and 6 online. The vintage channel which they called "your Modern Rock primer" played last May's Modern Rock 500 each day from 9am-5pm playing 100 songs a day. Many songs that I had forgotten about were played, many many from my youth and college days. Band and songs that I swore I would always listen to and of course as time passed, I let them slip off my radar. I was a relative newcomer to woxy having not lived near Cincinatti so I can only really say I was onboard for a year maybe a little more. I saw a link to it on a blog(imagine that) and went there and had been listening ever since. On the regular channel from what I can tell, the last song was MC5-Kick - Out The Jams.
Below is the playlist for the last 100 songs of the Modern Rock 500. There came a time somewhere in the 40s or so, I knew all the songs they played. Not only knew them but was very familar with them, own the songs, albums etc. I hope I can find a new station, website or something to listen to. I had planned to comment on each song but have not had the time. I may repost later with comments on each song. But you know, some if not most of these songs, there just isnt more to say other than listen.
