New Music Discovery starts here. New artists, new music by classic artists, indie rock, local music, theme sets, concert blocks, birthday/anniversary salutes, and much more. The ALERNATIVE to the Alternative. Cabrini University, sadly, has sold WYBF's FCC license and we no longer transmit at 89.1-FM. I apologize for the loss of your FM rock station. It is a miscarriage of justice. Our former compe
titors down the dial, WXPN, WMMR, WXTU, and so on have been streaming on the internet for just as long as we have, give or take, but I don't see those stations taking down their FM signals anytime soon. I was on the air for the last FM transmission 8/24/22, a date, to borrow a phrase from FDR, which lives "in infamy." 11:38AM to be exact was when the transmitter was sadly turned off. I continue on with the internet only Cavalier Radio (cavalierradio.com), the successor internet station to WYBF (89.1-FM). For the time being it'll simply be a Philadelphia area FM rock station that's on the internet instead of on the FM airwave. That's really the way to think about it.

UPDATE! (April 7th): After 13 months I HAVE RETURNED!!! It is great to be back on the airwaves at WYBF! I literally waited since Monday March 16th for the word to go back. In the very beginning this was only supposed to be two weeks, then two weeks became four additional weeks. Then Memorial Day came and went. Friday June 5th, suburban Philadelphia's first day in yellow phase came and went. June 26th, the first day in green phase came and went. And so on and so on. I completely believed I would be going back in late August. In the interim for 13 months, I continued to break new music on this page. It's not as much fun breaking new music on Facebook as of course it is breaking new music on the FM airwaves, but now I am back. Upon my return, my show has a name. For years I've been asked "what's the name of your show?" "What's your show called?" I never called it anything really, I didn't think it was necessary. A few years ago I was asked for a title to put up on the website (cavalierradio.com). So I just told our GM "Morning Drive" because, well, that's when I'm on. Now that I'm back, my show's title is "Essential Service Radio." Because, as we know, that's what it is!
