Общественная радиостанция в Амхерсте, штат Массачусетс, США.
Public radio station in Amherst, Massachusetts, United States
WFCR (88.5 FM) — некоммерческая радиостанция, лицензированная в Амхерсте, штат Массачусетс. Она является членской станцией Национального общественного радио (NPR) для Западного Массачусетса, включая Спрингфилд. Станция вещает с мощностью 13 000 Вт ERP с передатчика, расположенного на горе Линкольн в Пелхэме, штат Массачусетс, на высоте 968 футов (295 м) над уровнем средней местности. Лицензия принадлежит Университету Массачусетса в Амхерсте. На станции транслируются новостные программы NPR в утренние и послеобеденные часы, а также в ранний вечер. Днем и ночью звучит классическая музыка, а поздним вечером — джаз. Зона вещания WFCR охватывает Западный и Центральный Массачусетс, Северный Коннектикут (включая Хартфорд), а также части Южного Вермонта и Южного Нью-Гэмпшира. На протяжении большей части своей истории студии WFCR располагались в здании Hampshire House на территории кампуса UMass. Однако в 2013 году станция перенесла большую часть своей деятельности в здание Fuller в центре Спрингфилда. Вещание началось 6 мая 1961 года в формате одновременной трансляции с WGBH FM в Бостоне. К 1962 году станция прекратила зависимость от WGBH FM, а к 1964 году расширила местное вещание до 17 часов в день. Первоначально позывной знак представлял "Four College Radio", а в 1966 году стал "Five College Radio". WFCR является одним из основателей NPR и одной из станций, осуществлявших первоначальную трансляцию программы NPR "All Things Considered". Хотя UMass владеет лицензией с 1967 года, когда она была приобретена у WGBH Educational Foundation, WFCR всегда получала финансирование от Пяти колледжей (UMass Amherst, Smith College, Mount Holyoke College, Amherst College и Hampshire College), а также от периодически проводимых фандрайзинговых кампаний в эфире. С 2011 года WFCR и её сестринская станция 640 AM WNNZ называются New England Public Radio. WFCR утверждает, что является первой радиостанцией в Западном Массачусетсе, передающей сигнал с использованием системы HD Radio iBiquity. Станция вещает два цифровых потока: первый — это дублирование аналогового сигнала, а второй — круглосуточная станция классической музыки. 11 апреля 2019 года WFCR объявила о консолидации своих операций со станцией PBS WGBY TV (канал 57) под брендом New England Public Media, начиная с июля. UMass сохранит лицензию WFCR, а New England Public Radio Foundation сохранит лицензии на WNNZ и её спутники; NEPM будет управлять станциями на основании соглашений об оказании программных услуг.
WFCR (88.5 FM) is a non commercial radio station licensed to Amherst, Massachusetts. It serves as the National Public Radio (NPR) member station for Western Massachusetts, including Springfield. The station operates at 13,000 watts ERP from a transmitter on Mount Lincoln in Pelham, Massachusetts, 968 feet (295 m) above average terrain. The University of Massachusetts Amherst holds the license. The station airs NPR news programs during the morning and afternoon drive times and in the early evening. Middays and overnights are devoted to classical music and jazz is heard during the later evening hours. WFCR's broadcasting range extends to Western and Central Massachusetts, Northern Connecticut (including Hartford) as well as parts of Southern Vermont and Southern New Hampshire. WFCR's studios for most of its history were located at Hampshire House on the UMass campus. However, in 2013, the station moved most of its operations to the Fuller Building in downtown Springfield. The station signed on May 6, 1961, as a simulcast of WGBH FM in Boston. By 1962, it had severed the electronic umbilical cord with WGBH FM, and by 1964 it had expanded its local programming to 17 hours per day. The call letters originally represented "Four College Radio", becoming "Five College Radio" in 1966. It is a charter member of NPR, and was one of the stations that carried the initial broadcast of NPR's All Things Considered. While UMass has held the license since 1967, when it was acquired from the WGBH Educational Foundation, WFCR has always received funding from the Five Colleges (UMass Amherst, Smith College, Mount Holyoke College, Amherst College and Hampshire College) as well as from fund drives conducted periodically over the air. Since 2011, WFCR and sister station 640 AM WNNZ have called themselves New England Public Radio. WFCR claims the distinction of being the first radio station in Western Massachusetts to transmit a signal using iBiquity's HD Radio system. It airs two digital streams. The first is a simulcast of the analog signal, the second is a 24 hour classical music station. On April 11, 2019, WFCR announced that it would consolidate operations with WGBH owned PBS station WGBY TV (channel 57) under the New England Public Media banner, effective in July. UMass will retain the WFCR license, and the New England Public Radio Foundation will retain the licenses to WNNZ and its satellites; NEPM will operate the stations under program service operating agreements.

WNNZ
Флагманская станция сети NEPR News Network – WNNZ, 640 кГц AM, лицензированная в городе Вестфилд, штат Массачусетс, которая ранее принадлежала компании Clear Channel Communications (ныне iHeartMedia). Выходная мощность WNNZ составляет 50 000 Вт днём, что является максимальной мощностью, разрешённой Федеральной комиссией по связи для AM-станций. Однако, поскольку 640 кГц является чистой частотой для CBN в Сент-Джонсе, провинция Ньюфаундленд и Лабрадор, WNNZ должна снизить мощность до 1000 Вт ночью. Антенная система состоит из трёх мачт, использующих различные диаграммы направленности днём и ночью. Днём она обеспечивает как минимум вторичное покрытие всей западной части штата Массачусетс, а также столичного округа Нью-Йорка и района города Хартфорд. Ночью сигнал ослабляется, чтобы сконцентрировать его в северном направлении, в районе городов Спрингфилд и Хартфорд. До 2010 года программирование для WNNZ предоставляла WFCR, а Clear Channel продавала спонсорскую рекламу. Однако в июле 2010 года WFCR приобрела WNNZ у Clear Channel за 525 000 долларов. В сделку не входят передающие мачты, но договор купли-продажи содержит пункт об аренде, согласно которому Clear Channel останется владельцем мачт и будет сдавать их в аренду WFCR. WFCR приобрела лицензию у Clear Channel от имени "WFCR Foundation Inc.". FCC одобрила сделку 25 августа 2010 года. До 2007 года программирование, которое звучало на WNNZ, транслировалось на WPNI, 1430 кГц, в городе Амхерст, принадлежавшей компании Pamal Broadcasting.
The flagship station of the NEPR News Network is WNNZ, 640 kHz AM, licensed to Westfield, Massachusetts, which was once owned by Clear Channel Communications (now iHeartMedia). WNNZ's power output is 50,000 watts in the daytime, the maximum permitted for AM stations by the Federal Communications Commission. But because 640 kHz is a clear channel frequency for CBN in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, WNNZ must reduce power to 1,000 watts at night. The antenna is a three tower array, using differing directional patterns day and night. During the day, it provides at least secondary coverage to all of western Massachusetts, as well as New York's Capital District and the Hartford area. At night, the signal is cut back to concentrate the signal northward around the Springfield and Hartford areas. Until 2010, WFCR provided WNNZ's programming, while Clear Channel sold underwriting advertisements. However, in July 2010, WFCR purchased WNNZ from Clear Channel for $525,000. The sale does not include the transmission towers, but rather has a lease clause in the sale agreement in which Clear Channel will own them and lease them to WFCR. WFCR purchased the license from Clear Channel under the name of "WFCR Foundation Inc." The FCC approved the sale August 25, 2010. Prior to 2007, the programming heard on WNNZ was heard on WPNI, 1430 kHz, in Amherst, which was owned by Pamal Broadcasting.
WNNZ-FM (ранее WGAJ)
WFCR, вновь, под наименованием лицензиата "WFCR Foundation Inc.", приобрела лицензию WGAJ 91,7 МГц в Дирфилде, штат Массачусетс, у Deerfield Academy. Передача лицензии была одобрена 19 августа 2010 года. WFCR выплатила Deerfield Academy 10 000 долларов за этот сигнал. Позывной знак станции был изменен на WNNZ FM с 1 сентября 2010 года.
WFCR, again, under the licensee name of "WFCR Foundation Inc.", acquired the license of WGAJ 91.7 MHz in Deerfield, Massachusetts from Deerfield Academy. The license transfer was granted on August 19, 2010. WFCR paid Deerfield Academy $10,000 for the signal. The call letters of the station were changed to WNNZ FM as of September 1, 2010.
WNNI
WFCR выиграла право использования частоты 98,9 МГц в Адамсе, штат Массачусетс, на аукционе FCC № 91 (под наименованием заявителя – WFCR Foundation Inc.). WFCR приобрела это право за 189 750 долларов США. WFCR подала в FCC заявку на новую станцию для передачи нового сигнала с вершины горы Вест-Саммит в Норт-Адамсе, штат Массачусетс, где расположен существующий передатчик WUPE FM. У WFCR уже имеется ретранслятор W266AW, расположенный там же.
WFCR won the allocation of 98.9 in Adams, Massachusetts, in FCC Auction #91 (under the applicant name, WFCR Foundation Inc.). WFCR won it for $189,750. WFCR filed the application for a new station with the FCC, to transmit the new signal from the top of West Summit, in North Adams, Massachusetts, where the current WUPE FM transmitter site is located. WFCR already has a translator, W266AW, located there.
WNNU
WNNU начала вещание в 2013 году; она транслирует на частоте 89.5 FM и охватывает южную часть округа Беркшир и часть округа Колумбия в соседнем штате Нью-Йорк.
WNNU was launched in 2013; it broadcasts on 89.5 and serves the southern portion of Berkshire County and part of Columbia County in neighboring New York state.
Другие станции
Помимо WNNZ AM FM, WNNI и WNNU, новостная сеть NEPR News Network транслируется на 89.3 WAMH в Амхерсте, обслуживающем округ Гэмпшир, и на 91.9 WAIC в Спрингфилде, обслуживающем округ Хэмпден. WAIC присоединилась к сети 1 июля 2016 года после перехода с эфира Connecticut Public Radio. Станция принадлежит Американскому международному колледжу в Спрингфилде, но её программное наполнение обеспечивает WFCR. WAMH дублирует трансляцию WNNZ с 2:00 до 4:00 утра, а в остальное время суток эфир заполняют студенческие программы свободного формата (во время учебного семестра в Амхерстском колледже).
In addition to WNNZ AM FM, WNNI, and WNNU, the NEPR News Network is heard on 89.3 WAMH Amherst, serving Hampshire County, and 91.9 WAIC Springfield, serving Hampden County. WAIC joined the network on July 1, 2016, after switching its programming source from Connecticut Public Radio. It is owned by American International College in Springfield, but programmed by WFCR. WAMH simulcasts WNNZ from 2 a. m. to 4 p. m. with student free form programming the other hours of the day (when Amherst College is in session).
