Freeform Radio
by Meg Noonan
Freeform Radio is named in reference to the pre-corporate on-air format host Meg Noonan grew up with, where deejays and variety reigned supreme. The show is a lively mix of rock in all its glorious sub-genres — Classic Rock and Roll, American & British Blues, Glam & Garage, Punk, New Wave, Indie, Roots, Folk and Country—plus a heavy dose of R&B, Soul and Funk. It’s freeform!
