The Future of Rock & Roll talks about the evolution of radio station 97X WOXY - which at its inception was the sixth modern rock station in the United States, based in Ohio.  The station tried to buck the trends and be independent - which at first meant avoiding repetition and playing new and more things unlike other stations (it seems like not much has changed since late 80s!).  It was very interesting to read how the media changed and how this station changed with it - even having a streaming option for their broadcasts in the early '00s when that was relatively unheard of.  Unfortunately, the changes ended up being too much for WOXY to keep up with and they are no longer.

 But definitely made me think what independence is and what it means to me.
