Connoisseur Media To Debut Indie/Alternative 'Mod 102.3' In New Haven

A New Sound For New Haven

CONNOISSEUR MEDIA/CONNECTICUT has announced the launch of indie/alternative "MOD 102.3"/NEW HAVEN, set to debut MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 18th at 10:23a (ET) on WPLR-HD2. Current CONNOISSEUR/CONNECTICUT OM KEITH DAKIN will also serve as PD for the new station, which will play the likes of MUMFORD & SONS, THE LUMINEERS, ARCADE FIRE, TWENTY ONE PILOTS, COLDPLAY, BASTILLE, THE KILLERS, IMAGINE DRAGONS, FLORENCE & THE MACHINE and more.

The station also announced that ED OLIVEIRA and CHRISTIAN TURNQUIST will be the main personalities, and TRISTAN HALLER will oversee the marketing for MOD.  
   
“Choosing the indie/Alternative format for 102.3 was an obvious choice because NEW HAVEN clearly wants a station focused on the last 10 years of Alternative music," GM KRISTIN OKESSON said. "Our team understands, lives, and supports the NEW HAVEN community.  Moreover, this team has a deep passion for Alternative music with years of combined experience in the format. We look forward to supporting Alternative/indie artists and giving them a platform to launch new music in a market that is diverse, has a rich history in the arts, and already loves this genre of music."

“There is so much music out there that people are streaming, going to see live, and buzzing about that isn’t on the radio," Regional OM KEITH DAKIN added. "MOD 102.3 will fill that void. Alternative/Indie music didn’t die in 1997. It is alive and well and being ignored in NEW HAVEN. We are extremely excited to have Mod give these sounds to that audience.
