This is really sad news. Grew up listening to Rock FM, as did pretty much everyone I know from back home.

Overproduced national brands just don’t really do it for me, but they play some music and have some vaguely entertaining talking between some of the songs. They tick the box for what most listeners want.

As far as I can tell local radio can still be profitable, but bigger brands with deep pockets are stifling that.
