I signed, but I don't think it's gonna help any. This sucks. Y100 is pretty much the only station I listen to. Who am I gonna listen to in the morning? Preston & Steve won't be there anymore to make my mornings better on my way to school.

What the hell happened?
I turned on my radio this morning and out of nowhere I hear the station is folding.
I have listened to Y100 for all 8 years that I have lived in the Philadelphia vicinity. I'm pissed, but I don't know where to direct my anger. I've already e-mailed to manager of the station, signed the petition and whined a lot.

I thought I was losing my mind last night, but when I turned on the radio this morning I was positively FLOORED. As was everyone else at work this morning. Actually, I had some choice words flying outta my mouth (not truly suitable for an all ages message board). Yeah, I've signed the petition, and included some rather fiery thoughts in the comments section (in the line of "WTF!?!?!"). Bastards. Signed up for www.live365.com this morning. They're playing old Y100 sonic sections, etc. Sign up (general membership is free) and set "y100rocks" as your preset. Let's fight the good fight, people! PASS THE WORD!!!

I'm glad someone else started this thread, as I really don't know what to say. It's really sad that this has happened, although Radio One (the company which owns Y100) has had it in for the station for years. It was just a matter of time before they pulled the plug due to corperate narrow-mindedness.
As most of you know, Jim McGuinn, who's still a member of the Cordalene family in my book, poured his blood, sweat and tears into Y100 for years. This is how they've rewarded him, and everyone else who worked long and hard for the cause.
I don't think that's right. I don't think it's fair. For Jim's sake, for us "modern rock" fans sake, for Philly's sake, we have to fight this.
We can't let the bastards win this time! Sign the petition, send them emails, protest, do whatever you can do.
The listeners won in DC, and we can win here!

Y'know, y100 had been going downhill for a while, what with corporate overlords forcing whatever giant "alternative" act on the air. (puddle of mudd, anyone? didn't think so.) Why "save" that? I say, rally your support for the creation of a new independant rock station. From what I hear, this y100rocks! site is like y100 *without the utter crap*. Embrace the chance for renewal! Start listening to Drexel radio 91.7, or WPRB 103.3, or internet radio. When something decent finally claws its way back onto the actaul airwaves, hang onto it as best you can. Get and stay involved. Until then, come see as many live shows as possible, 'cause that's where the music will be. (there, and in your iPod. )

Hi Lisa, welcome to the boards! Sign up and stay for a while. You can go to www.y100rocks.com and sign the petition. Also, there's plenty of info on their site as to how you can help, and they have boards where you can vent. Also, plenty of links to articles and video from the news and video from the rally on Saturday. Glad to have you on board! (Edit: Sorry, bad pun not intended. *blush*)
