WAMC Now On The Air In Highland At 102.1 FM

ALBANY, NY (02/07/2008)(readMedia)-- Listeners in Poughkeepsie, Hyde Park, Highland and New Paltz can now tune in to a new WAMC signal at 102.1 FM. The new translator station relays the programming of Northeast Public Radio’s WAMK, 90.9 FM Kingston to the areas surrounding Highland in Ulster and Dutchess Counties. According to WAMC President & CEO Alan Chartock, “This new signal helps to fill in a weak spot in our coverage of the Hudson Valley especially in areas of Poughkeepsie and New Paltz. We are pleased to be able to help listeners in these areas that may have previously had some problems getting our signal.”

The addition of translator station W271BF from owner Susan Clinton completes a year long project to improve WAMC signal delivery to portions of the Hudson Valley and southern Catskills. Translators are low power FM signals designed to improve reception of full power stations in specific local areas.

WAMC/Northeast Public Radio is a non-commercial, listener supported public radio network broadcasting 24 hours a day to portions of seven New England and Middle Atlantic States. All broadcasts can also be heard on-line at www.wamc.org.
