WNYE is a public radio station owned by the City of New York.

History

WNYE is operated by the NYC Media Group, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the City of New York. The program started out as a high-frequency AM (Apex) station in 1938, switching to 42.1 MHz FM in 1942. In 1946, it moved to 91.7 MHz, in a new FM band. Then in 1948, it settled at 91.5 MHz.

In March 2007 the station was rebranded as "91.5 FM Radio New York".

Programming

WNYE airs domestic and international programs as well as foreign-language productions. Included are National Public Radio (NPR) programs that WNYC, the primary NPR affiliate in the area, does not air, such as "The Diane Rehm Show".

On February 11, 2008, the station management announced a partnership with Seattle-based station KEXP-FM to produce a new format branded as "Radio Liberation" [cite press release | title = KEXP and Radio New York liberate listeners from the norm | publisher = Pyramid Communications | date = 2008-02-11 | url = http://kexp.org/newyork/press.aspx | accessdate = 2008-02-18 ] , featuring indie-music shows and simulcasts. [ [http://www.timeout.com/newyork/articles/tv-dvd/27691/air-raid "Air raid"] , Time Out New York, Issue 651, Mar 19–25, 2008.] The format started on March 24, 2008, replacing a number of BBC and NPR shows.
