X107?
- Thread starter p_herring
- Start date
That was the old WZFM, Briarcliff Manor/White Plains. WZFM started out in the garage in Briarcliff Manor, then moved to the Bank of New York Building in Pleasantville, NY. They moved to Skyline Drive in Hawthorne probably in 1992 and were there as Y107. They were licensed to Briarcliff Manor/White Plains.
This station was also Progresssive Rocker WRNW, back in the 1970s, somewhat similar to its present day incarnation as WXPK....
x107 was just before my time. I remember the 95.9 the fox flipping to classic rock from rock, q-104.3 classic rock from rock, and k-rock from classic rock to rock. From what I hear from freinds and family it was a very good station. does anyone have any airchecks from the x107 or any old playlists?
thanks
thanks

I was the CE there for years, rebuilt the place from the antenna to the mic.
and yes, the station was in Hawthorne NY.
I have hours of airchecks on dat from our station in LA, Y107, but none from NY, sorry
PS I did end up with the PR&E radiomixer 20 and the Aphex 2020 when they went belly up

Pete... did you handle the move off the little stick in Irvington? Or the WCC stick to the County?
Its a shame, the station had weak management through the years. "Express 107" never had a chance, X107 was a decent idea, it was just too hard a sell.

First off let me just say "X-107" was my favorite station of all time....I was heart broken when it went off the air....I still remember their legal ID like it was yesterday - "Today's Rock X-107 WRGX Briarcliff Manor/White Plains/Nanuet"
Now I don't know if this is 100% correct and someone can help me out if if it's now but from what I remember, Odyssey owned both 107.1 WRGX & 910 WRKL.......Odyssey changed its name to Big City and later sold WRKL which went to Polnet Communications. After selling WRKL, Big City purchased 107.1 WZVU Long Branch & 107.1 WWHB Hampton Bays.....At first Big City was going to expand X-107's format onto WZVU & WWHB and call it Y-107 just like the one in LA.....However, since 103.5 WYNY changed to WKTU they went with county instead using the Y-107 name.

I moved it from WCC to the jail, later installed a harris Z5.

I still think that the BEST use of 107.1 was the Y-107 Country Quad-cast. Although the current "Peak" AAA format out of Westchester is very good, they still have signal problems. During the Y-107 years, the Westchester transmitter was brought up to 1900 watts from 890 watts. Here in Northern Bergen County, the signal is still very spotty and scratchy. There are times that the Breeze out of Long Branch actually overpowers The Peak here in Bergen, more so during summer "DX" periods, but nonetheless, the 107.1 frequency is still a mess with too many sticks fighting for airspace.
