Starting at noon Friday , WIGX 94.3 FM – known as 94-3 The
Shark -- began its run as L.I.’s newest rock station with its first song,
Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit.”
According to a story by Kevin Amorin at newsday.com, the station’s positioner, “Everything That Rocks,” is reflected in a playlist that includes: Red
Hot Chili Peppers, Green Day, Led Zeppelin, Metallica, Beastie Boys, Pearl Jam,
Linkin Park, Stone Temple Pilots, Soundgarden, Sublime, Nine Inch Nails,
Smashing Pumpkins, Van Halen and Foo Fighters.
“The radio listeners of Long Island have spoken - they want
more variety and a rock station that isn’t boring,” David Bevins, chief
operating officer of The Shark’s owner -- Connoisseur Media -- said in a
statement. “The Shark will provide listeners with the energy and attitude that
can’t be found on any other local Long Island rock station.”

The new station takes over what used to be the New 94X,
which debuted in 2010 and played songs aimed at Generation X. The Shark is
going after male listeners aged 18 to 49, a departure from the more inclusive
Gen X demographic.
Tom’s Take: Love Bevin’s statement “the radio listeners…have
spoken”! What a load of BS
