NO MORE MODERN ROCK RADIO IN PHILADELPHIA
You have been selected by a group of radio revolutionaries to receive this message. THERE IS NO MORE Y100/100.3 FM/WPLY IN PHILADELPHIA. Radio One Incorporated ended the 12-year life of one of the nation's most respected alternative rock stations, Y100, in favor of gospel music. They handed Y100's frequency to their hip-hop property and are using the hip-hop station's former frequency to broadcast gospel music.
A dedicated group, headquartered at
www.y100rocks.com will not settle for a Philadelphia without the sounds of Radiohead, Coldplay, Weezer, Modest Mouse, Sublime, White Stripes, Blink 182, Franz Ferdinand, The Killers, and countless others. They started an online radio station.
Join G. Love, Something Corporate, Weezer and a growing amount of appreciative Y100-played artists fight to get modern rock music back on the air in Philadelphia. Support Y100rocks.com, the website, and Y100rocks.com, the radio station. Contact

Y100rocks.com the online radio station is ranked 9th most listened to Alternative station at Live365.com. Figures are based on a 30 day basis. It's risen to 9th despite the fact that it's only been on for 3 of the last 30 days.
The station's hours of listening grow despite the current limitations to its bandwidth. Here are the hours so far: Day 1: 1813, Day 2: 4243, Day 3: 4841 with only 200 people able to listen.
