NEW YORK RADIO
New York radio is the densest dial in the world — every format, every language, every subculture has at least one station. From WNYC's public radio to Hot 97's hip-hop legacy, from Spanish-language megastations to tiny community stations in every borough, NYC radio is a microcosm of the city itself.
Hot 97 and Power 105.1 shaped American hip-hop radio. WBGO is a jazz institution. WNYC sets the standard for public radio. The city's ethnic stations serve virtually every immigrant community.
