by NotASouldier
A lot of us in the Chippewa Valley remember the radio station 99.9 The Carp, a "new rock" radio station that was unceremoniously taken off the air a few years ago and replaced with a "variety" radio station with an auto-DJ called BOB-FM.

I have fond memories of discovering some of my favorite bands on The Carp, and The Carp served as my gateway into the world of rebelliousness and abandon that is rock & roll, and I'm sure many others feel the same.The New Carp will have some slight differences in format to the original Carp. Rather than focusing exclusively on hard rock, The New Carp will explore songs from all the various subgenres of rock, whether they be hard rock, so
