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:

The logo for the website was designed by Cameron Kennedy and the actual website was donated by Cybersyzygy Web Design and generously hosted by David Mercer Consulting,whom are dedicated to the cause to get Rock back on the airways in Sonoma County.

 

Appeal to Local Bands

Attention Local Musicians:

We here at BringbacktheROCK want to help you get the word out for your shows, as we have an event calender that is just waiting  to be filled with concert information. We are offering this at no cost to the bands. Please send any concert information to info@bringbacktherock.com. Please include all information such admission prices, age restrictions, location with address, and all bands on the show’s card (an event title would be appreciated but not required). We want to do everything possible to keep rock in Sonoma County and to bring in more as well. Please help us out with our event calendar as it is hungry for ROCK.

 

 

ROCK on Sonoma County!

Crossroads

We are at a crossroads for our movement. Where do we go from here? We have had successes with businesses that advertise with Maverick Media. The question then becomes what do we do if Maverick Media doesn’t bring back the Fox as we knew it? We can keep protesting to keep publicity up in the media or we can get proactive. By being proactive I mean requesting rock on rival stations to Maverick Media, writing letters to the editor, by supporting local rock shows, and by writing to other media companies to get them to bring in a new rock station. These are very simple and we can do that at any time. This is how we can achieve keeping rock alive in Sonoma County. The key is building the rock community into a powerhouse. We should not stand down and let rock and roll go away. We need to stand up and say NO, and work to build the Sonoma County rock community into the envy of the rest of the Bay Area. Rock your metal shirts, blast your stereos with rockin’ tunes, and most of all keep attending local shows! The better the community becomes the more recognition our area will get from the big name bands. When those bands keep coming back, they bring in lots of money into the local economy and also help local bands by possibly having them open for them. This will not be an overnight change, this will take lots of hard work. My goal is to turn this site into a non-profit hub for the local community. We will use this site to promote local bands, and to build things up to help get big name talent to come here. I do not want to do this to get famous or anything like that. I am doing this for the love of the music that we all share, ROCK. This will be a community page, this will be used to bring ROCK back to Sonoma County no matter what happens with the Fox itself.  The Fox may come back or it may not but the community will remain. The community will always outlive any radio station that comes along.  We need your help at building up this dream of a super rock community, we need input on what you all want to be done. We could raise funds to build our own station (this will cost large amounts of money and will be no small task) orwe could focus on our campaign against Maverick Media (towards what end?). We need your input. Lets use this momentum that we have and build something great with it!
