It's true !! It's True. I was out in the NYC area for a week listening to it, and it is indeed totally commercial free music. My guess as to how they can afford it is that they are borrowing money from someone to try and get a reasonable portion of the radio market so that in the fall they can begin selling commercial airtime. Historically it has been nearly impossible to break the WNEW/WPLJ/WPIX hold on NYC's listener audience (the one that counts - the Rock and Roll audience - the ones you can count on to spend alot of money on Blue Jeans, Beer, etc. etc.), and this may be an attempt to replace WPIX (which just went mellow rock?). Now, I wish someone would do something like that in LA.
