X1079

X1079 broadcasts from Nevada in the western United States and can be heard in the alternative format. The station’s website divides its content into the categories Music, Entertainment and Local News. The local focus is clearly aimed at Las Vegas and the surrounding valley, whose urban development, cultural projects and municipal topics are regularly covered there.

In the music area, the station reports on tours, festival appearances and news from the rock scene, with the reports drawing heavily on well-known alternative rock and punk bands. A selection of these artists is also reflected in the event listings that appear in the local section.

By its own description, the station sees itself as a place for music away from the mainstream and as a link between the music scene and the community. This self-description can be followed on the website, but programme information on presenters or broadcast times is not listed there.
