About This Station

**DARE FM** is an online radio station that revives the spirit of the legendary New York Metro alternative rock stations **WLIR/WDRE**, which broadcast on 92.7 FM from 1970 to 2004. Its format is built around **alternative and indie rock**, with a heavy emphasis on **'80s and '90s alternative classics, new wave, and alternative indie rock**—billing itself as playing "songs you won't hear anywhere else" and "the music that made 'LIR world famous." The station streams entirely in English and features a schedule of hosted programs, including *The Flashback Lunch*, *Larry the Duck's 80's, 90's, and Now*, and *The Saturday Night Dance Party*. The site highlights its "world famous" legacy of introducing a "Who's Who" of alternative rock artists, and includes listener testimonials praising its diverse, never-redundant playlists. It also encourages listener donations to help cover royalties and operating costs, and offers apps via Google Play, the Apple Store, and iHeartRadio.
