On Thursday, February 24, 2005, WPLY / Y100 was taken off the air. After nearly 12 years at 100.3 FM, alternative rock disappeared from the Philadelphia radio l
scape. With it went the musical companion of over 500,000 residents of the Delaware Valley. Among those listening were the team at WXPN, the University of Pennsylvania's non-commercial, member-supported Triple A radio station. XPN has long been recognized for showing proper respect for the music they play their dedicated listeners - just like Y100Rocks.com. As XPN has embraced new technology to help fans connect with music, a partnership with Y100Rocks.com made perfect sense. This partnership also offered Y100Rocks.com the one thing they couldn't accomplish on their own - the opportunity to get back on the FM dial in Philadelphia.
