An Evolving "Experience" ...

Could just be perception, of course, particularly now that Matt Pinfield has been hired for mornings, but I'm sensing a further evolution at Emmis' new Triple-A "Rock Experience" WRXP (101.9 RXP) New York. The Classic Rock isn't gone -- you'll still hear Springsteen, Stones, Who, etc., -- but there are stretches of several songs at a time where the station takes on a decided Classic Alternative feel (Costello, Morrissey, and, as I write, the Buzzcocks' "What Do I Get") -- a more eclectic version of WRFF Philadelphia and its Adult Modern ilk. For whatever reason, I've had several people tell me in the last few days that they're spending more time with the station.
