Connoisseur Media has announced that as of 6:00a.m. this morning, Stamford/Norwalk's 95.9 the Fox (WFOX), has adjusted its format and rebranded as "Fairfield County Rocks" focusing on the biggest rock bands of the late 80s, 90s and 00s.

"The Stamford/Norwalk market, even with the bleed in of New York City radio, is completely underserved with the next generation of classic rock," commented Program Director Kevin Begley, "The new version of 95.9 the FOX will supply that demand for those huge rock hits of the last 30 years".

95.9 the FOX will focus on core artists like Pearl Jam, Guns N Roses, Nirvana, Def Leppard, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Sublime, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, Motley Crue, Linkin Park and more.

Allan Lamberti, Cari Edwards and Keith Dakin will continue to hold down their current shifts in mornings, middays and afternoon respectively.

"It was time for 95.9 the FOX to say goodbye to the 60s and 70s and really embrace a great collection of rock music of the last few decades, "said Operations Manager Keith Dakin, "Beyond just the music, we will continue to do what we do best which is to be at every major community and charity event in Stamford/Norwalk as well as provide news and information when needed."
