Through his organization, Busch directed and produced the public access television show for ten years, reaching approximately 250,000 households each week.
The primary objective of New York New Rock was to provide a platform for local unsigned bands in the rock, R&B, and dance genres. The show aimed to educate and expose these up-and-coming talents to industry leaders and independent and major record labels while also expanding the bands fan base.
Wolfgang Busch made a conscious effort to showcase musicians affiliated with grassroots organizations such as the Black Rock Coalition, Christian Musicians United, Women in Music, The Gay & Lesbian American Music Awards (GLAMA), OutMusic, and the Staten Island Rock Coalition.
During the show's ten-year run, Wolfgang gained hands-on video production, directing, hosting and interviewing bands experience in the entertainment industry by recording over 600 live bands and producing more than 400 shows for New York New Rock TV. The program featured an impressive lineup of local icons, including Skin & Bones, Phoebe Légere, Carboy, TM Stevens, Jon Dunmore, Larry Mitchell, Sweet Convulsions, Sunshine Blind, Loretta's Doll, Darryl Hell, Bile, Sister Machine Gun, EBN, The Ancestors, the Ancients, Shoot the Doctor, and arena rock bands like UFO, Robin Trower, Bay City Rollers, Ned’s Atomic Dustbin, and Nina Hagen. New York New Rock also included interviews with GWAR, Hilly Crystal from CBGB's, Shriekback, Gods Child, Ronnie Montrose, R&B band Ian Neville, Latin music superstar Mambo King Tito Puente, Joe Cuba, Jose Feliciano, and Willie Villegas.
Behind the scenes, New York New Rock was powered by a dedicated team of volunteers, including Zecca, Ivy Markety, Jordyn Thiessen from WBAI, Sharon Lee Caddick, Patrick Inzetta, Steve Shrebernick, John Culkin from Citirock and ELA Studios, Donna Eckhardt, Jack Pavlik from Sweet Convulsions and the East Coast Rocker, Marc Scarpa, Darryl Hell, Steve, Marylin from the Black Rock Coalition, Sal Baldino from the Christian Musicians United, Clair O'Conner from Limelight, Gabriel Rotello, Michael T, Gaye Carleton, Willie Villegas, John Tolve, Eddie Fuentez, and George.
