WYNC - FishbowlNY http://www.mediabistro.com/fishbowlny Turning the Page For New York Media Copyright 2014 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 20:08:35 +0000 http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss http://wordpress.org/?v=3.6.1 WNYC To Switch Classical Music Station WQXR To 105.9 With Carnegie Hall Concert wnyc-graphic.jpgThe FCC has approved WNYC‘s purchase of classical radio station WQXR from The New York Times Co., the public radio giant announced this morning. The classical radio station will move to a new spot on the dial, 105.9 FM, precisely at 8 pm on October 8. The switchover from Univision, which currently broadcasts at that frequency, will occur live on stage at Carnegie Hall and will be simulcast on WNYC 93.9 FM. Univision will shift its programming to 93.6 96.3 FM.

Classical music fans must have been relieved earlier this year when WNYC, the nation’s largest public radio station, emerged as a buyer for WQXR. They intend to transform the WQXR’s operation into a member-supported station and have launched the $15 million Campaign to Preserve Classic Music Radio in New York City.

“WQXR will operate out of WNYC’s new facilities on Varick Street in Hudson Square and the signal will continue to broadcast from the Empire State Building,” says the press release.
