It was January 4th, 2008, 10:00 am and the last song to air from the radio station O-Rock 105.9, Orlando's Alternative station, happened to be none other than 311's Down, which in turn happened to be the very 1st song to be aired on the now ghostly O-Rock. There are traces of O-Rock that can be found here and there; but for the most part, it just vanished! What happened? I don't know, but I would very much like to find out. I admit, it wasn't the best station, but for the most part they played a decent selection of music. Though some of the D.J.'s seemed very weird and annoying. That still does not explain the magic disappearing act. Heck, even their phone line is funny, all you get is a busy signal....
So, I am going to dig a little and see if I can't upturn some kind of news. If anyone knows anything pertaining to the disappearance of O-Rock, pass the word!

Appearently they were the lowest rated station - any format- in Orlando. So CBS took them off the air. This is where stories differ. Some say CBS is going to launch a country station to try to compete with K92FM. Others say they are not sure what format they are going to choose, which makes since seeing that they are playing "The History of Rock". Yeah....IT SUCKS!!!
Hey, thanks Anon, although they were low rated and I didn't enjoy most of the stupid d.j.'s, the music was pretty good; considering what is available where I reside O-Rock had one of the strongest signals around! So, if any lowly CBS personnell happen to see this, do us central Floridians a favor and shoot your "higher-ups" an email and tell people here in central florida miss that new/alternative rock format. The LAST thing we need is another country station!
