NY radio isn't alone in terms of just very poor radio. It is nationwide now.
Most all CHR Rhythmics sound the same. Most countries are homogenized as
hell. News-Talks all sound the same. All of this "on the 5s" garbage!
Hahaha!! There is just extremely weak radio now, and it probably won't
improve for sometime. Notice, I made no reference to Clear Channel,
Entercom, Infinity, etc. as the reason for this. That goes without saying-

What happened to 92.7 in New York City? IT WAS THE BEST RADIO STATION
IN NYC. It's now a spanish station! It used to be this hip rock,
dance, new wave station......and for a LI station it was gaining
popularity in the city. Now it's gone...
The other stations in NYC pretty much suck. Even 101.1 FM isn't
playing good oldies.....I tend to listen to CD's now for oldies and
stuff from the 70's.
105.1 FM and 97.1 FM are ok if dat music is your "thang" (you go
girl!) ........just kidding, I like hip hop, although it's starting to
sound boring since they play the same old songs over and over again.
Z100 is too teen bop.....and their morning show is incredibly boring.
As for dance music, 92.7 played all sorts of great imports from EUROPE
(which has the best dance music) With 92.7 now gone (which supported
dance music a lot), KTU is the only station playing dance music, and
they suck at it. The DJ's are extremely unprofessional (e.g. Vic
Latino's talks over all the songs he plays at night, speaks over
lyrics, etc...plays from his sound effects machine) and during the
day, they play old crappy songs that no one has ever heard of before
Overall, I just want to say that New York radio sucks right now. What
can help it? I believe NYC needs new radio stations.....it would
really help.
