new alt pop/rock public radio station (wrench45us)

Wed, 26 Jan 2005 19:05:37 GMT

minnesota public radio has launched a new alternative rock/pop eclectic mix station by hiring some of the best people from the Radio K 'gem of the am dial' university of minnesota college radio station and a lot of people let go from failed alt radio stations

it's a little toned down and more consistent quality than its predecessors, but it's a lot of music that doesn't make it to normal air waves

stream on lo-fi unless you want some extra stuff installed on your system
89.3 'The Current' KCMP right side of the page

no electronica yet, (you can make requests and i'm lobbying for it on the forum) but a whole lot of modern alt

my favorite DJs are Mary Lucia 2-7 pm local time and Mark Wheat (a transplanted Brit) 7- midnight (oh yeah public radio works its people long hours)

morning show is an existing show with lots of history that has a different focus on acoustic and folk -- so you'll now the difference
