AM 740, WNYH

some pay to play shows are quite good......some of the shows I had at WLUX were really good. Mickey B, pays his way, makes a living, does a good job, and serves his listeners. The infomercials, I listen sometimes when they talk about taking massive dumps, cleaning out your colon and eating bee pollen, but only for the freak value. If you are doing well with your credit show, good for you, if you are happy with WNYH, again good for you. Who cares what people think of Yoon.....Remember at the end of the day, he still owns a radio station, and some of us work at one.
 
I have to agree...some brokered programming is quite good. And then there's the other end of the spectrum, which is horrible. What I would do with WNYH is this: First and foremost, the audio needs to be adjusted. From listening while driving through the area, the modulation sounds like it's way over 150%. Audio sounds like it's being compressed so hard that it's flat-topping. Station can be loud and yet sound clean with some careful adjustment of the processing. Next thing is to straighten out the automation and get ID's running when they're supposed to. I'd then add liners and some local content, and straighten out the segues a bit. Next would be reworking the music..what does the station want to be, standards, oldies, or a little of both? Get some live local talent on, and and put the infomercials on spots on the weekends. As it stands now, the station cuts a little into the coverage of the station I work at, WVCH. I can hear WNYH up to the connector road on the PA Turnpike....wondering if it beats up on Toronto during critical hours.

WNYH really needs to get a qualified R.F. Engineer in there to make some serious adjustments. I have no real guage to go by, but it sure does seem the modulation is as you say way over the top. Also it seems like the pattern is quite out of whack. The station comes in clearly in areas where it used to be obliterated due to the tight directional pattern. Even though there is a new construction permit for a slightly adjusted pattern, there should still be a sharp null pointing southwest over Nassau County to protect WVCH. I can't believe you can hear the station in Pennsylvania. That just furthers the statement that WNYH needs a qualified engineer to make some serious adjustments. They're playing with fire. I know that big issues the NYC field office takes seriously are EAS and Directional AM Arrays. They don't seem to have too much of a problem with overmodulation, especially with the FMs, but I know a few of the big NYC stations have had their directional patterns scrutinized.
