No, it doesn't hook you in particular in. It hooks plenty of other people, though. It doesn't have to be played on the radio to be popular by any means.
You're probably thinking they're talking about KROQ in Cali, that's why you're confused.... they're speaking of a station that broadcasts out of New York City, called "KRock" (WXRK) which "went away" for awhile and changed its format to a like a talk radio only format and was called "Free FM." Fortunately, I guess they realised that wasn't as fun as broadcasting music and now they're back as "KRock" playing music again. Sometimes they'll play recordings of pre-Free FM listeners calling in and just totally trashing KRock for ever changing to a Talk Radio station and saying how much it unforgivenly ruined their lives for eternity. This is the KRock in our area, not to be confused with KROQ. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WXRK
