Hey, is WAIF still on the air? This could be an opening for them or another independent...

Down here we have a public radio at 89.7 where, funny enough, Sheila Rue & Craig Kopp and some others from the old WNKU have been for years, and an independent at 88.5 and the independent is more like WNKU than the station with the WNKU alumni.
If you want to stream either to check them out 89.7 is WUSF and 88.5 is WMNF. I think you will find plenty to like with both, particularly WMNF. They do some political talk in the morning that isn't that good but afternoon and evening usually good music. Particularly good is the Rhythm Revival show with Reverend Billy C Wirtz on Friday afternoons. Cheers mate!

I live just north of Cincinnati. Not sure if I can pick those stations up. One of the best things about WNKU; 105.9 is that I could get a clear signal north of Dayton & as far east as Richmond, Indiana. I never had to change the dial.

Like another poster said, I'm so bummed about this. IHeartRadio sucks.
There's so much good music I'll never learn about now.

Years ago, when 96rock first came (back), they were originally on 97.3. Before they took over 97.3, that station was local & played some really good music. It was my favorite station by far (until I discovered WNKU), but that station didnt last long. I was bummed then too.

There simply isn't good radio anymore. Satellite blows. The next best thing is pandora but I don't have car wifi. I don't have time to explore music like I have in the past, so WNKU was perfect. So perfect in fact that at times I thought 'this station was specifically made for just me & me alone'. I mean, they'd play 'Hey Bullfrog' by The Beatles, then some Modest Mouse, the some Tribe Called Quest, then something amazing I'd never heard of. I'm depressed.
