A reliable and apparently radio-listening tipster sends this breaking news (now also posted on her own blog):

Some very HOT news off the Howard Stern show this morning: New York City's long-running premiere rock radio station, 92.3 K-Rock is changing formats and going to TALK radio as of January 3rd!! holy shit! most K_rock DJs and staff are learning the details right now from Howard's show! More to come, we're listening right now...

Without Stern, apparently, there's no more reason to live.

Then again, some would argue K-Rock actually died sometime around 1995, when it overnight stopped playing the classic rock that got us through high school. We got over it.
