2014 Winner: This Is 617 on Vanya Radio

When WFNX folded last year, Boston lost a platform for promising local bands. Vanyaland, a music blog captained by former Boston Phoenix music editor Michael Marotta, has stepped up to fill that void with Vanya Radio, a live-streaming online station. And while Vanya Radio spins buzzy alt, indie, electro and hip-hop jams all day, tune in at 6 am, 1 pm and 7 pm for This Is 617, a showcase of all the local bands you should be listening to right now.
