Can we sign a petition for Toronto too? I like Toronto and Philly both.

Y100 really was the only alt station in Philly. We have a few other "rock" stations, but they play mostly heavy metal and pop-rock. And then all the other stations are classic rock, rap, pop and rap, and country.

What, may I ask, is wrong with classic rock?

^Toronto isn't much bigger than Philly.

We don't really need another one, this one's doing fine.

We also ahve only one pure rap station, then one top-40, and then several "lite rock" stations. Oh, and a classic rock one as well.

There are a million more people living in Toronto (From Wikipedia). I couldn't find info about the greater Philly area, which is probably a better indicator of possible listeners.

Nothing, they just don't play new music.

Same situation Cleveland is in. We've got 2 ****ty stations that play SWEET NEW MTV HITS. They consider theirselves avante garde rock stations, although their "radio personalities" probably aren't even familiar with those words. We haven't had a listenable rock station since 107.9 the End was sold out to become an R&B station.

^ That's kinda crazy. I'll admit, I like to watch MTV and listen to the "Cool" hits these days, but sometimes they get annoying. Gotta keep things real...
