Hudson Valley WRKL Returns to the Air

Ex-RadioTV

They're weak, and have very low modulation, but in a Resumption of Operations filing 2/28/25, 910 AM WRKL, New City has returned to the air just a week or so short of being silent for a full year. At the same time they filed an engineering STA to once again run non-D with 250 watts day and 200 watts night. It was 8 years ago in February that one of the station's towers collapsed, and since then the station has been either off the air, or operating under a series of STAs and extensions at 25% power.
The latest STA attachment said they plan on filing for operation using the 3 towers that are still standing, after they get the financing to "straighten" them.

Finally, Cantico Nuevo has applied for a modification of WRKL’s license. Running on a series of STAs since one of their 4 towers collapsed in February 2017, the station seeks to downgrade from class B to class D status, effectively returning the station to its former self, prior to adding nighttime service a couple of decades ago.
In their life as a daytimer, they were 1000 watts DA-D, using 2 towers, with PSSA dropping to 73 watts. The proposed operation will return it to a 2-tower DA, using a couple of the nighttime towers, spaced and oriented similar to the original configuration. Apparently the original 60+ year old tower that’s a twin to the fallen towers will not be used.
The proposal is for a power reduction to 760 watts day, and 23 watts PSSA.
Interesting that the licensee no longer owns the property on which the towers stand, for now.
