Y100 Returns!

Today the city of Philadelphia has something to celebrate. No, the Phillies, Sixers and Flyers still suck and football season is still a few months out.

When Y100 was shut down in February of 2005, it effectively sounded the death knell for alternative rock radio in Philadelphia. Until last week, when the station formerly known as Star 104.5 (also known at times as Sunny and Rumba) adjusted its format to the alt-rock format that had been missing in the Philly market for over two years. It's current title is simply Radio 104.5, and since I started listening about 30 minute ago, I've heard everything ranging from Soundgarden to The Killers to Nickelback, and it's newly formed website has logos for everyone from Linkin Park to The Police. I've added the site to the links page, along with a couple others. So So Philly rock fans, rejoice! More on this story when I hear it.
