New music

I’m an old WFNX person who followed this station to BDC. I was thrilled when indie617 came into being. There is nowhere else that I can get the new music that I hear on this streaming service. Well done!

Best classic Rock in Boston that you can take with you

These guys are the Boston Music scene! Taking the radio to the internet is no easy task and this crew is crushing it! It’s nice to know wherever you go you’ll always have your music with you!!!

Best music in Boston

This is where I find all my new music! The playlist are awesome and the events are even better! Can’t wait for the live shows post-COVID!

Alternative Boston

App always works, great mix of music, reminds me of the good old days of WFNX 101.7.

FNX fan

This app is the best and most cutting edge music app there is. I’ve been a fan of the people who run this since the the early ‘90’s and still am a fan after all these years. In fact, I listens to the original station when it was WLYN in the early ‘80’s. Still the best.

Great local source of alt and new music

App works well 98% of time. Between this and its BDC & WFNX predecessors I don’t know how my music preferences would have survived the past (Egad!) 25 years in Greater Boston !

Works with iOS 14.4, could use some interface tweaks

It’s still working! Interface is a little clunky but works well enough. 👍

I miss WFNX

Glad to have this iteration of WFNX to stream. Great app and love the music.

WFNX in your pocket

I remember the night WFNX played its last song and at 8:00 pm it went silent. This puts it back and better yet it goes wherever you go -

Tradition of great Boston alternative radio continues!

If, like me, the foundation of your musical tastes was formed in the 80s & 90s by the late, great Boston radio stations of WBCN & WFNX, the this is the app you’ve been looking for! Overall, lots of great music at all times. However, “Kick out the Jams,” weekdays at noon, has a special place in my 50-something year old heart; God bless you for what you do, Julie Kramer!

great music, great ticket giveaways

A+

Love the content

App could use some help. Moreso, when app is closed out, audio still plays over Bluetooth in car, even over other music, which is a bit annoying. Love the music this station plays, would love to not have to delete app to make it stop playing over other audio

It's my lifeline

I'm so happy there is an alternative to the ashes that were FNX. Way better!
Yay for Henry too!

WFNX is back!! Wicked pissah!!

When radio was the only option, it was always WFNX that played anything remotely interesting. If B-sides were radio, it would be WFNX. Thank goodness deadair was short lived. Play on!! xxoo

Resurrection of WFNX

Imagine if WFNX never went off air - that’s Indie617 in a nutshell. Great selection of music unless you listen on back-to-back days. Then it gets repetitive. There’s a ton of indie music out there, new and old, and Indie617 has knowledgeable DJs. Makes you wonder why they’re anchored by songs on heavy rotation, dunnit?

Actually works!

I have been depending on these folks and their associates for good new music since they were at WFNX. As RadioBDC, their streaming app broke when Apple started requiring TLS on app web connections.

Now, with reorganization and rebranding to indie617, the app works great and the music stream is fresher and more varied again. Definitely worth downloading this phoenix risen from the ashes of print newspapers and broadcast radio.

Great Indie station

Welcome Indie617. The next level of FNx and RadioBDC and a great station to listen to when I’m home!

Best music but a little buggy

Still the best alternative station in the country, going back to the WFNX days.

Back and better than ever

Beyond ecstatic for this radio launch. The app has been running smoothly for me so far and obviously the music has been incredible. Can’t wait for what the future brings.

Best streaming station around

Great mix of modern and classic alternative, and the DJs are the best. WFNX lives on.
