Again?

[Fourthisto]

Once again, thanks to all who made this station the source for countless great tunes and memories over the years.

I hope you all land on your feet ASAP. I feel for each one of you.

I'm sending you nothing but love and amazing music to surround you with today and through a million tomorrows.

[jps]

lump in throat.

looks like it'll be a "no music day" for me.

god, i hope this is temporary.

hang in there woxy!

[euro60]

Wow. Just wow.

This is barely 6 months after the move to Austin???? How is that possible?

[Listen_Thinker]

This saddens my day

[Motti]

Damn. This is incredibly shitty. Wish we had a little advance notice.

Pretty worried about the DJs, who just moved to Austin. I really hope you guys do okay... And thanks so much for all the awesome times.

Ironic that I'm wearing my WOXY Gone to Heaven t-shirt today, haven't wore it in a few months.

Well, shit.

Seconded.

Shocking, to say the least. I had just turned the stream on this morning in time for the last 30 seconds of the Soft Pack, and figured my internet connection just crapped out when silence followed.

I can't believe that Future Sounds pulled the rug out from under you guys like this. I'm sorry. You all uprooted your lives and put your all into making this work...and believe this was for keeps. I really hope that stability will come to you all soon enough.

Love,
Christian

What the fuck???

[Predot listener]

Holy shit.

Did they deliver any on-air message and I missed it, or did they just stop broadcasting?

[Patas]

WOXY has been something consistent over the past few months during a time in my life when things are up in the air.

[Fourthisto]

There are some details behind this out there in Facebookland, it seems Future Sounds was the one that couldn't work out a deal to keep it going.

And Modnar wore his last week to Beer Hero.

Yeah I thought it was my connection as well. Wishing you all well. Please keep in touch.

Yikes! I was listening, and then I wasn't. WOXY has made my day at work so much better for so many years. It's been the best source for new music. Guess it's back to KEXP or KCRW, which are good, but just not the same as WOXY.

No message, no opportunity to do so, it sounds like.

Not even the squeal of the brakes as it all came to a stop.

Just the Soft Pack singing "I think I'm gonna diiiiiiie" one last time and then the Smithereens' "A Girl Like You" on the vintage station.....

Now, nothing.

Dear friends --

It is absolutely mindboggling to me that I have to sit down and write these words: WOXY.com is being shut down today by our owners at Future Sounds.

Mike, Joe, Brian, and I uprooted our lives to Austin under the belief that we were finally under ownership that would take things at the station to the next level. We also brought on Paige Maguire from here in Austin to help us do things on a promotional and marketing level that hadn't really been in place for years. Yes, we have been dubbed "zombie radio" in the past after ownership shutdowns and resurrections, but it will take a pretty incredible company/plan coming around now to make me want to stick around at this point (although I guess we have to wait to see if anything shakes out in the days ahead). This time around, we no longer own WOXY and the entire situation is completely out of our hands.

The WOXY staff continued working last week during SXSW under good faith because a deal was "in motion" to continue funding for our operation. We were informed yesterday that that the deal fell through and now it is time for us all to walk away. There will be no farewell shows or weepy goodbyes. Our listeners deserve more than this, but I don't think any of us on staff have it to give right now. It is, to be perfectly honest, quite a kick in the dick to have this occur again right on the heels of our most successful SXSW ever. But, I guess it would pretty much be a kick in the dick no matter what since we've only been living in Austin for *6 MONTHS* and have already had the rug pulled out from underneath us.

I am told that this address will continue to work, but if it ends up failing in the future, you can also hit me up at: and my cell (hit me up if you need the #). I will probably take a few days off to let this all digest and figure out what happens next. I am VERY happy living in Austin, but will have to entertain any and all opportunities that may present themselves now. If you have any leads, please reach out.

Thanks to everybody who has been SO amazing to me and this station over the years. I've been on this wild ride now for 12 years. I am thrilled that I have had a part in helping to program this station since 1998 and am incredibly proud of WOXY's legacy.

cheers,
Shiv

I am just shocked that they (the Future Sound) would do this so soon after uprooting the guys' lives and moving them to Austin. I mean, c'mon!
