WLIR (WLIR.FM) is an internet radio station that plays the new music/modern rock that was originally heard on WLIR/WDRE (92.7FM, 98.5 FM, and 107.1 FM) in the 1980s and 1990s, along with the alternative rock of the 2000s to the present. The spirit of the original WLIR is maintained with the music mix and the personalities, such as Larry the Duck, Andre, and Rob Rush. Bob Wilson, long time WLIR employee and historian, created the WLIR.FM website and programs the music playlist.
WLIR was founded in 1959 by John R. Rieger. It was licensed to Garden City, NY on the 92.7 FM frequency and played a mix of Broadway tunes and classical music from a basement studio in the Garden City Hotel.
