And they can thank WXZR 98.7 for going under and selling the license to 
WNLC.  Although I don't like WNLC's programming I respect their style of 
radio quite a bit.  But having been a former "Z-Rocker" both as a listener 
and as an intern ("Nine-de-ate, seven-F-M ZeeeEEEEEE-ROCK!!!"  :-)  it was 
a real downer when Disney/ABC pulled the plug on the Z-Rock network (rumor 
was that it "wasn't family-oriented enough").   After that WXZR went 
through one or two other satellite networks that were feeble attempts 
(including the Jones' Network "Adult-Alternative" - gag - 
network...complete with the "Brian Shock B.S. Radio Show"....I kid you not, 
that's what he called it)   to capture more of the 35-44 market....but 
Z-Rock's ace-in-the-hole was always that Armed Forces Radio carried a lot 
of Z-Rock around the world, so the sailors at the Navy base down the street 
loved tuning us in when they were in port.   Unfortunately, they never 
bought anything that we were advertising b/c the Base's commissary was a 
lot cheaper.  D'oh!
