The folks at The Drop were feeling it. It was the morning after Valentine’s Day, the first official day of the station being on its FM signal, 104.7. Why not swoon a little?
The people for whom the station had been created have been showing their love for “The People’s Station for R&B and Hip Hop” since it began streaming in June 2019. Now, The Drop’s brew of commercial-free cuts and community-loving content had an FM home. And, yes, even in a world of digitized fare and streaming options, it felt different.
