When Educational Media Foundation closes on its acquisition of six stations from Cumulus at the end of the month, the format of Classic Rock “105.9 The Rebel” WXTL Syracuse will continue operating online.
Being rebranded as TheRebelRocks.com, Program Director/afternoon host Dave Frisina will remain in place as will the two specialty shows he hosts on Sundays; the deep cuts/roots rock Soulshine from 10am-2pm and local music Soundcheck from 9pm-12am. The station is also promising only two minutes of commercials per hour.
