Grant Funds An Alt-Rock Station For NYC

“In what could be an exciting new development in New York radio, the listener-supported station WFUV (90.7 FM) will use a $500,000 grant to run an alternative rock station targeted at young listeners in their 20s and 30s,” and featuring local bands. “New York has long been a radio anomaly. It’s home to one of the world’s biggest and most influential music scenes, yet no major radio stations exist to support it.”
