Indie Rock Radio
In 1998, WOXY, "97X," began broadcasting as an Internet-only radio station, adopting a new radio format where its DJs could play whatever they wanted. Within the past year, the popularity of the station has grown considerably and has attracted indie bands both big and small, who have performed live at the station, such as Low, Youth Group and Fiery Furnaces. In 2005, the station was named Internet Radio Station of the year at the Plug Independent Music Awards and launched a secondary audio stream called WOXY Vintage, which spins 30 years of influential and adventurous music like The Velvet Underground, The Clash and The Smiths. Recently, the station changed to a "listener- supported" format offering monthly subscriptions. |
