About Us

Y-Not Radio is the home of indie rock in Philadelphia. Our roots go back to Philly's long-running alternative FM station Y100 (WPLY), where a new music show called Y-Not aired every sunday night from 1997 through the station's end in 2005. After the demise of Y100, program director Jim McGuinn, promotions director Josh T. Landow, and host Joey O. (amongst others) kept the spirit of the station alive online as Y100 Rocks (later Y-Rock). As of 2010, the station returned to its independent roots, morphing once again into Y-Not Radio with Landow at the helm. Through all the name changes, our mission has always remained the same: to bring you the best alternative, modern, and indie rock!

Now, Y-Not Radio is joining Philadelphia's internet radio community, iRadioPhilly! While we will continue to be independently owned and operated, our partnership will provide us new opportunities for growth and better ways to serve our audience, including higher quality streaming and inclusion on the iRadioPhilly mobile app.

Thank you for finding us, thank you for listening, and thank you for your support! We hope that you enjoy Y-Not Radio!
