WYNY Radio is back on the air

I actually was referring to the return of call letters of W-Y-N-Y.

I knew you meant that, MusicRadioUSA, but it would like if another station were to ever get the WNBC calls - there are still some things some of us would never forget.

Me too. Country was an anomaly to me. The AC format was the TRUE WYNY.

Well the WRCA calls (used at 660 in NYC, I believe in the '50s) have been alive in Boston on AM 1330 for the last 20 years, give or take. The Boston (actually Watertown) WRCA is now running 25 kW-D/17 kW-N DA-2 from a triplex with two other Boston-area AMs. The signal is not a flame-thrower, but it covers the market pretty well, especially for the leased ethnic programming that makes up most of the schedule.
 
And 660's predecessor callsign, WEAF, are currently in use in South Carolina - praise the Lord:

Hopefully this is not too far off-topic for a NYC forum, but a few weekends ago we were up in that great, scenic stretch of highway between Milford and Woodbourne NY.

Didn't hear (or try) for 106.9. The impatient search of the hackneyed FM dial turned up the ex-Port Jervis station on 96.7. I had been curious as to what they were doing. After much hoopla in the area about the tower move and the new COL, what did we hear on tune-in?
'Hotel California'.
Good bye.

But the one I was after was the new 1450 in Milford -- WYNY's sister station. And they were pretty loud. They were running a high-school football game. It's good to know they're on the air. Maybe I can hear them here now, with WPAM Pottsville having gone dark.

That was a pretty industrious move ..... putting on a new AM and a new FM amid a pretty crowded dial.
 
WWPR IS located, up the street, in Bradenton, Florida.

Jeff in Sa-ra-so-ta!
