OTBOTOR-NASH FM 94.7 has been around for at least 3-5 years. Frankly it's more of a top 40 country format- but it IS New York based. If you R n NJ and search the dial I believe there are several other stations (one in Philly I believe) you can find. I think there's also one in South Jersey and 1-2 in Philly (listened to one there before NASH FM I believe).
One local station that I liked (lost my radios in storage locker selloff) Is located in Hunterdon County High School. I believe it is student run. They mix in older county music and such artists (they may surprise you) like Jimmy Buffett and Bruce Springsteen. There's also a segment where they play remote stuff-often great.
If you like Island music with a bunch of country thrown in check out Jimmy Buffet's free Radio Margaritaville (Radiomargaritaville.com). Its Something different. They'll also throw in artists like Bruce and Kenny Chesney+ a bit of country. Most of Jimmy's concerts are broadcast live and somewhere on the internet (same?) I watched a Buffett show on the net in amazing clarity 2-3 months ago. Radio Margartaville is also on Sirius.
Buffett has a new Christmas CD out so at least that stuff is at least half fresh!
