THE QUEENS NEW YORKER EPISODE 232: THE HISTORY OF 91.5 FM WNYE

WNYE (91.5 MHz) is a non-commercial educational FM radio station licensed to New York City. The station is operated, along with WNYE-TV (channel 25), by NYC Media, a division of the Mayor's Office of Media and Entertainment. Studios are located at the City University of New York's Graduate Center at 365 Fifth Avenue,[2] and the transmitter is at the former Condé Nast Building. As of August 31, 2015 WNYE aired adult album alternative music by simulcasting WFUV weekdays from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m.[3] On weekday late mornings and afternoons, the station airs news programming from NPR and other public radio organizations. That includes the NPR news show All Things Considered, Here and Now from WBUR-FM in Boston and 1A, a news and interview program from WAMU in Washington, D.C. Late nights, music programs are heard including the World Cafe from WXPN Philadelphia, Afropop Worldwide from Public Radio Exchange and Echoes which specializes in ambient and electronic music. Evenings and weekends are devoted to ethnic programming for the Greek, Irish, Croatian, Haitian, Slavic and Brazilian communities. Because its funding comes from the City of New York, WNYE is different from most non-commercial radio stations in that it does not ask for listener donations and it airs no fund drives.
