Rochester Now Rocks Harder

• iHeartMedia Hot Talk/Active Rock WAIO (Radio 95.1)/Rochester has morphed into ROCK 95.1, “Rochester’s Real Rock,” billed as “the city’s new destination for modern and active rock,” sporting an expanded library that features artists including Three Days Grace, Metallica, Linkin Park, Disturbed, Papa Roach, etc.

The revised on-air lineup kicks off with Rover’s Morning Glory, which remains in the lead-off spot, followed by Aly in middays, John DiTullio and Jeremy Newman in afternoon drive, and Mark Maira from 6pm to midnight. One noticeable absence from the new ROCK 95.1 is 40-year Rochester radio icon Alan “Brother Wease” Levin, who announced he had done his final show with the station.

“We’re excited to bring a fresh, authentic rock experience to Rochester,” said Bob Morgan, Area President. “ROCK 95.1 is built for fans who live and breathe rock, and we’re proud to deliver the music and personalities they crave.”
