Said Nik Carter. ŔThe connection that the listeners feel to RXP is one that you donâ„¢t often see anymore and when you stand in that studio and talk to the audience and you really feel it… to be given stewardship of that daily is really an honor.” Nik Carter is an industry veteran who was most recently in New York at KRock since July 2005.  Prior to his shift at KRock, Nik was the afternoon drive host at Bostonâ„¢s WBCN for 9 years where he was also air talent on Westwood Oneâ„¢s Å”Nothing Sacred, a weekly 60-minute music interview program ¦as well as host of Ëœthe Move Loft on Bostonâ„¢s UPN TV affiliate WSBK. Prior to his years in the Boston area, Nik was on-air talent and music director in New York at WNYC AM/FM.

Good for you, Nik! I have caught your show on K-rock whenever I didn’t like a particular song on RXP for the moment. You always had that “I’ll play what I want whenever they’ll allow me” attitude, which I admire. I am 45 and usually listen to RXP every morning with Matt Pinfield and Leslie Framm, then in the afternoon with Paul Cavaliconte (sp?). It’s a great radio station that plays every rock genre there is. I am finding out about so many bands I’ve never heard from from this station, since I’m a married working mother of 2 who’s hasn’t been to clubs in years. Thanks for signing on and not being forced to watch “Judge Judy” anymore.
Woo-hoo! Congrats, Nik!
Your devoted Boston fans still miss you. Thank God for webcasts!
Good luck in your new gig.
