No.  They used to.  It was 92.3 K-ROCK.  That station also carries Howard 
Stern in the mornings.

The station flipped from classic to "active" or "modern" rock (I just call 
it heavy metal) sometime around 1996 or 1997.  

That's around the time Infinity also bought WNEW-FM 102.7 (an existing 
classic rocker).  They flipped it to talk some time in 1999 or 2000.
 
The only classic rock station left in the city is Clear Channel-owned 
Q-104.
