WLIR is my hands down favorite radio station. You continue to introduce me to great new bands. – Katharine Bride Long Island City NY

Great station blows 90.7 and 92.3 away. - Kerry Coyle Arale

Thanks for continue being the leading edge of Alternative music for New York and the World! I'm a long time listener, having caught the wave back in 1983 (and have been riding it ever since)!

Thankful for your stream (truly), and hope you are on the air well into the next millennium! Thanks again for decades of great music & keep streaming! - Kenn Dancer II, WLIR-WDRE-WLIR Listener.

Thanks to Robert for his donation! I started listening a few months ago, and haven't really stopped listening since, driving, relaxing, while at work.... I'm 42, and through your station I'm always hearing a mix of songs I like, new wave, rock etc., hearing old music I never heard before, and new music that stands out (when so much so-called music these days is just manufactured, samey pop). It's also great to listen to something that's more than just a stream of selected music tracks, but has an identity and a tradition. It's become important to me and I really appreciate the work that was done to put it back streaming online, long may it continue. Regards, Robert Jackson listening in Australia

Amazing station. I used to listen to the original WLIR/WDRE in Northern New Jersey growing up Thank you for broadcasting this! I currently listen to your station on iHeartRadio. I will definitely spread the word. Many of my friends love this kind of music. Great to hear that WLIR is back and running. - Barton Lee

'LIR still giving us the best music, vintage and brand new! Thanks for still being here! I'm listening just miles from beautiful downtown Garden City, here in Mineola on Long Island! - Neal Citro

Thanks to Frank DAngelo for his donation. Thanks for continuing the great music from the past! Takes me back to my high school and college days. Best station ever!

Thanks to Tommy from The Bronx for his donation! I really wish it could be more, I hope soon it will be, thanks for keeping the dream alive! ...I can't tell you how devastated I was when LIR closed down, for a long time you guys were my only support when I had nothing. I grew up listening from the Bronx, NY, I live in lower CT now, Trumbull to be specific.

I’m in Miami, FL now. Originally from NYC, listened to WLIR and WDRE for many years. Stoked to continue doing so online. I’ve told so many of my friends about it, now spread out the US and beyond. Thank you!!! Rock on guys! - Willibald Garcia

I already saw the documentary and it was excellent, although I was of those that actually lived it .. I was in college in Weschester county from 81/85. I remember all the DJ’s and the specific shows. “ Off the Boat “ and the ever popular “ Screamer of the Week “.. I remember how relevant of a station it was and the brilliance of its playing all the new music first..I have been listening to all genres of music but the 80’s has always resonated most. Best Francoise.

Thanks to Tracey Henry for her donation! So excited to find WLIR again! You and your team are doin such a great job capturing that "Dare to be Different" spirit and balancing new artists with those WLIR "modern rock" classics that we all love. I usually start listening around 7:00 pm EDT as I find the station a great way to unwind after a long day. My 7-year old is listening as well, so this great music is being introduced to a whole new generation. Keep up the great work and thank you for bringing the station back as it continues to be so important for so many. Wish I could donate more! Tracey Henry in NYC

Hello! I used to listen to DRE/LIR between 1988-1995 when I lived in NYC. I now live in Belgrade, Serbia and I listen to the live stream everyday. My friends and colleagues listen to it with me everyday. I tell them how it was the center of my life as a teenager and its importance in the history of New Wave music. You can expect more listeners from Serbia in 2019. Cheers! - Der Kosmonaut

I am now living in Riverton, Wyoming, and am so amazed that I can listen once again to 'LIR, and all the so very happy memories are coming back to me.

I purchased a t-shirt, a baseball cap and a beanie hat so that I can let everyone know about 'LIR, and I'm telling EVERYONE to tune in! - Gina Rapone

Discovered you today thanks to a friend that I used to dj 80s music with. I stopped actively listening to alternative in 1992. I'm so happy that you play 90s-present that keeps that 80s aesthetic alive. Even happier that you're on my AppleTV. Keep us dancing! - Ian Malbon

Thanks to Monte in San Carlos, CA for his donation! - I very much enjoyed listening to you guys growing up in the 80s and happy to have you streaming.

Thanks to Vincent Paul Bartilucci - I was 3 months shy of my 16th birthday when the format changed in August 1982. WLIR and the music it played had a tremendous impact on me. It taught me that different isn't just okay, it's cool. I just signed up for a recurring donation. I wish it could be more.

I can't tell you how wonderful it is to have WLIR back. That station saved my sanity when I was a punk kid growing up in an uber-preppy suburb where I never fit in. Your music — old and new — still rocks. And my inner teenager is beyond stoked! Thanks again, Jenn
