| - For years, 107.5 has handled the Alternative music needs of the Las Vegas Valley - but no one can deny that they only play new stuff, much of which is no good. For years, I wanted there to be a station that specialized in back-catalogue alternative hits.
With the arrival of 107.9 in 2005, I can rest at last.
107.9 is an alternative station, but unlike 107.5, they specialize in back-catalogue stuff, be it early 70s punk like Ramones and Sex Pistols, or 90s alternative rock like Nirvana and Soundgarden. The station DOES play new alternative rock, but it's clear their focus is on alternative classics, and that's a good thing.
The best of old and new alternative alike, this is one of the most essential radio stations in Vegas.
