If you have not already done so, check out this week’s City Beat for some press on WOXY.com! Here is the photo from the article, which is available both right here and also in print around the Cincinnati area.

Here are a few quotes from the article (and my own commentary) if clicking a link is way too much work for you……

Three years ago I wrote about then-Oxford-based WOXY (97.7 FM, aka 97X) for another publication. Soon after that story pressed, the station’s ownership sold their terrestrial signal but wanted to continue broadcasting on the Internet.

Don’t jinx us Zach! :)

“Woxy.com can also now be heard terrestrially on HD radio thanks to a new partnership with local NPR outlet WVXU. They have reinstated the local music program, Local Lixx, and have remained loyal sponsors of several local concerts and festivals”

Oops, not yet City Beat. Of course both of these things are coming very soon though……

“But the station’s wider reach via the Net means it can also sponsor concerts and fests all over the country.”

Notably in Chicago, New York, Cincinnati, and soon in Colorado at Monolith….

“We’re like school teachers,” Long says about his modest salary at the station. “(But) we probably enjoy work more than teachers.”

Maybe I can re-quote myself here, I think we are like “indie rock” schoolteachers. You guys are great students too by the way… (wink)

“As young people continue to move from Cincinnati for “cooler” cities, the station continues to lose its listener base. Taylor references CityBeat articles chronicling the evacuation of Cincinnati by young professionals and creative types.”

While this is true, isn’t it great that even when people leave Cincinnati, WOXY.com does not lose them as listeners anymore thanks to the internet, it’s everywhere!

Our thanks to Zach and City Beat for doing this story….
