As part of the Iconic Alternative Network, our focus remains local \u2013 serving our audience with the music that defines the Edge, supporting artists that are shaping the genre today, and staying closely connected to the city.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The station is featuring a limited amount of currents and recurrents but mostly focusing on music from the 1990s and 2000s.
