The Best Of 2010 Airs Throughout The Blizzard...

Last night, we started airing the Best of 2010 instead of our regular current-song playlist at Altrok 90.5 HD2. There was a lot of great music released this year, and we're playing everything we think is most worthy from throughout the year. Of course, we're playing just as many of the classic alternative tracks you know you can only hear at Altrok 90.5 HD2, too. It's just like we usually roll, only betterer.

It's been a great year for us - the best since we started playing with this web-radio thingy back in 2000. We went from being a web-only commercial supported station to a real live commercial-free, listener-supported broadcast signal in March, and plans are in the works to make Altrok 90.5 HD2 bigger and better in the new year.

This is all happening because you're there listening to us, and we thank you profusely for extending us the honor. We'll be continuing to live up to those expectations in the new year, and we hope you'll stay along for the ride.

Why not start now - since the eastern seaboard's getting a whole lota fluff dumped on it, wouldn't Altrok's Best Of 2010 be a great way to bide your time 'til the plows come? Our playlists are loaded with the best the year had to offer, and the transmitter's pumping out the wattage - all you've gotta do is tune in online or on your HD Radio - either way, we're there for you, and with your continuing support, it'll stay that way.

Thanks again for a great year!

Is there a problem with the volume on the online stream? I keep finding that songs are widely varied in volume the past couple days.

Shouldn't be, but I'll check into it...

Just checked - yep, you're right. On HD, the transmitter fixes that, but it's pretty egregious on the online stream. Unfortunately, I can't fix it until tonight, but I'll be fixing it...

Actually, it was a simpler problem than I thought, and now, it's fixed.

Please Look At Our Advertisers (Or The Website Gets It)
Congratulations, you've found the hidden text.
 
Welcome to Altrok.com, also available at AltrokRadio.com and AltrockRadio.com. Here's where the remaining listeners of several fine radio stations have retreated, regrouped, and built a replacement strong enough to stand on its own. It builds on the independent legacy of New Jersey's FM106.3, New York's WPIX and WLIR, Oklahoma's 105.3 The Spy, the pre-buyout mindset of KROQ, WBCN and WHFS and of every other alternative station that was destroyed at a moment's notice - not because they weren't making money, but because there was bigger money to be found elsewhere.
 
We've stood by as truly independent alternative rock radio died. Sure, something called "alternative" took its place, but we know for sure that anything that "tests well" with soccer moms just ain't alternative. (Even if some of us happen to be soccer moms.) So we've taken matters into our own hands.
 
This really is independent alternative rock radio, visible here at Altrok.com and audible at our web radio station. It has the classic music that fired our passions back in the day - or that we maybe only heard about from our elders - but it's mostly made of the new music that does precisely the same for us now. We're paying attention to scenes all over the world, watching the energy build, and waiting to see what it creates. Wherever it happens, we'll make sure you can hear about it here. We've been slowly building all this since 2001, and now that you've noticed us, we're glad you're here.
 
Of course, it's only here because you want it to be here, and it can only stay if you help it along - especially by checking out our advertisers (they support us) and by listening (the more that listen, the more visible we are.) Please use the "feedback" link above to let us know whether it works for you, and what you want it to be as the future unfolds. (And if you need help hearing it, let us know that, too.)
