Yeah, that's the set I caught too, but you've just committed one of the most common errors in song ID - "Send Me an Angel" is by Real Life not Pet Shot Boys. The original came out in 1983 (!) - pretty advanced stuff for then - but then the remix came out

I have been an LIR-DRE-LIR fan since the 80's. Now with a 2 and 1/2 month old and a 2 and 1/2 year old, I listened to the station whenever I had the chance. I was so sad on Jan. 10th to find it was gone. I has no idea this was going to happen. Is there

The WLIR Call letters were retained by the owners, & they will be used for their Eastern Long Island "107.1 - WLIR the Box" as soon as they get the FCC approvals to re-use the call letters.

Sorry guys, but I considered LIR dead a long time ago.
The music got "pop-y" and the DJs were dopey. Maybe I am living in the past, but give me Bob Wah or Willoughby any day!

You are!
XM offers programming called "Fred" and Sirius offers "First Wave".
I am getting Sirius, but am waiting for the release of a new FM modulator.
You can listen to streams of both XM an Sirius on their respective websites.
