Why Bring Back The Rock?

After 20+ years on the air, Maverick Media pulled our only Rock station 101.7 The Fox from the airways.  At 12 noon on March 24, 2011, without any prior notice, the station we knew as 101.7 The Fox, turned into Hot 101.7.  Appalled by this decision and lack of being informed of the change in format, many dedicated Rockers united together to protest against Maverick Media.

This website is to be used as a tool to Bring Back The Rock Back To Sonoma County. Browse all the menus above, to left and to the right find ways to get involved in the crusade to get Rock/Metal back on the airways in Sonoma County.  Please view the “About us” page to learn more detail about the end of 101.7 The Fox.

The latest information shall be posted below, so be sure to check back often .

Rock will be on our radios again!  We will forever remember:

Sonoma County Rock Fest?

I want to gauge the opinion of the many subscribers to this page in regards to the future. As I have stated in the past I wanted to try and get some sort of show in courthouse square. I was thinking why not turn it into a Rock Fest of sorts, kinda an annual thing. A Sonoma County rock fest to call our own. The way I see it is starting small in the beginning but growing it every year. I want this to be an event that bands from the bay area and beyond would like to perform at as well. This will be a place for local bands to show their stuff in middle of downtown. This is a grand idea but the main issue is Funding. I, personally cannot afford to do this myself. This show would definitely need sponsors and financial support. We would need help with raising funds for this show in addition to help with permits and planning. I was looking towards August to possibly do this as it will give ample time to plan and promote. Possible locations would be Courthouse Square in downtown Santa Rosa or the amphitheater at the fairgrounds (after the fair has ended). Cost of renting the amphitheater is listed as $2000 for one day (the Grace Pavillion is $500 cheaper) and currently costs for Courthouse square are unknown other than the permit costs which is around $80. Comments would be greatly appreciated as we can use all the input that we can get on this. Spread the word on this as we want the local community to embrace the event. Should we try and move forward with this idea and have something tangible to keep the rock community alive?

Are you getting used to not having The Fox?

If you said no, then I urge you to get more involved.  The only way we’re going to get Rock back on our airways, is with the commitment from the community.

 

The Community MUST demand it!!

 

Do you demand it?!?  Show us!!!

 

Social Media is only going to get us so far. That includes better participation in our rallies. Increased calls to businesses that purchase advertising with Maverick Media.  Use the updated script.  It’s also time to increase the amount of letters in our arsenal of weapons.  Letters to businesses that advertise with Maverick Media. Letters to both corporate and local headquarters.  Letters to your local newspaper editor for the “opinion” sections.  Press Democrat, Argus Courier, SF Examiner, Any and all that are available in our market.

 

We should also write letters to the companies that are supporting us.  Yes, write, not call.  I’m sure they’ve been called enough.  I say write a letter from the heart.  Tell them how much you appreciate them pulling their ads from Maverick Media. Tell them how much Rock means to your daily life.  This is also good material to write to the newspapers.
