NY airplay is so incredibly crappy and uncool, especially for a city as
cool as NYC. I think almost every other medium to large city in the
country can point to a local radio station that's better than any of
ours. We only have 2 jazz stations, and one of them plays kenny g and
natalie cole all day! Can any New Yorkers recommend IDM stations in NYC?
Or stations which may occasionally play stuff? Stations which are
actually receivable?
