Or, basically this happened to x92.9, and they floundered.

I wonder if in part the pie got smaller to draw new talent from. How many of those 90s style bands still exist and pump out music?
I mean I loved the fact that 92.9 would play things like Rise Against, Alexisonfire, Pennywise, Queens of the Stone Age (their new song kinda sucks btw) and mix in some in some of the good 90s stuff like Moist, Rage against the Machine and others. The lightest stuff they would play would be the occasional city in colour song.
Most of those guys have slowed down their music production or even disbanded. Are there enough new bands with those alternative styles to keep a station like that going?
I don't know. Maybe it is age, but I find it hard to get into a lot of new stuff, I'd hope that the middle ground that X92.9 was founded on still exists, but I don't know.
