Sure was. I was there not at the end, but during the initial death throes. Steve Mindich held on as long as he could. I'm pretty sure FNX was the very last independently owned alternative rock station in a major US market.
I wasn't a staple on air or anything, but I did a few things trying to work my way up while also working on the street team. This was the early 2000s when satellite radio was cranking up, conglomerates were buying stations left and right, and career prospects in terrestrial radio went from bad to worse. After a few years I bailed for things like health insurance and getting married. I don't regret it, but I do miss it.
