Sinclair Communications Alternative “96X” 96.1 WROX-FM Exmore/Norfolk VA has shifted its playlist in a AAA direction.
WROX-FM has been in a direct Alternative battle with iHeartMedia’s “Alt 105.3” WNOH Norfolk. The market lost its previous AAA at the start of the year when Davis Media flipped “102.1 The Tide” WXTG-FM to News.
The move comes with a shift to a broader, gold based playlist with songs as old as the 1970s and positioning as “More Variety, Less Repetition”.
“96X” as heard on the 1pm hour today featured:
- Sublime – Wrong Way
- Cold War Kids – First
- U2 – With Or Without You
- Fuel – Hemorrhage (In My Hands)
- The Record Company – Make It Happen
- The Rolling Stones – Paint It Black
- Foo Fighters – These Days
- The Black Crowes – Hard To Handle
- The White Stripes – Icky Thump
- Of Monsters And Men – Alligator
- The Mighty Mighty Bosstones – The Impression That I Get
- The Clash – London Calling
- Cage The Elephant – Mess Around
- Eagle Eye Cherry – Save Tonight
- Peter Bjorn and John – Young Folks
- The Revivalists – All My Friends
