Description:

Planet 93.9 is the Quad Cities Real Alternative. Our take on the alternative format is unlike any other. There’s far too much great music that’s been released over the last 40 years to just pay attention to a small list of songs. Along with what’s happening now, we’ll dig deep into the roots of Alternative with New Wave bands like The Cars or Talking Heads. Planet 93.9 will be the home for the great 80s bands like R.E.M., The Cure, and U2. Of course, we wouldn’t be The Planet if we didn’t play all the 90s Alternative songs you heard first on another Planet. And we do mean ALL of them.
