WRKL Pomona Flips From Polish to Leased Spanish Religious

B

Barry

The website Northeast Radio Watch reports that WRKL 910 AM, owned by Polskie Radio, has started carrying leased programming from Radio Cantico Nuevo, instead of the Polish format they had been broadcasting.
The Spanish religious programming from Cantico Nuevo is also on several other AM stations in the New York metro area, such as WNYH 740 AM in Huntington Long Island.
 
I would recount some memories here of WRKL as a live, local, full-service station serving Rockland County but it's just too sad. Just pull the plug already and put the station out of its misery.
 
Perhaps it is possible Polskie Radio might be interested in selling WRKL, as the station is no longer carrying their Polish language flagship station in Chicago. Apparently there were not all that many Polish people in this area interested in pulling in a rather weak AM signal.
 
I to miss the local WRKL news. I suspect WRCR would have better coverage in North Rockland if they could get the WRKL and switch or simulcast on that frequency.
 
If memory serves me correctly, Polskie bought it to rimshot serve Brooklyn. At one point wanted to try to move it closer or make it directional. Obviously that didn't work out so well.

WRKL was a nice little station in the day.

It would seem tough to put a decent signal into any part of New York City, let alone distant Brooklyn, from 1000 watt (800 at night) WRKL, in Rockland County.
The Polish programming offered by WRKL was not even local, as it came from a station in Chicago. My guess is that most people that want Polish language programming have been listening to it online for quite some time.
As a result, I'm surprised WRKL broadcast in Polish as long as it did- about 10 years.
