About this listen

Something curious happened to rock music on the radio—one minute it dominated the airwaves, and the next, it felt like it vanished. In this episode, Brad Brock and the Jams ‘N’ Cocktails crew take a deep dive into the rise and sudden fall of alternative rock radio, focusing on the cultural phenomenon that was 103.1 The Buzz.
Joined by former Buzz insider Jack Wich, the conversation explores what really happened behind the scenes. Was it changing musical tastes, corporate consolidation, new technology, or something more intentional? From nostalgic memories to industry-shaking shifts, this episode uncovers the forces that reshaped radio as listeners knew it—without losing the fun along the way.
