History[edit]

See also: WFME History

John Hogan/Interstate Broadcasting ownership[edit]

WQXR-FM is the outgrowth of a "high-fidelity" AM station, also called WQXR (1560 AM), which was founded in 1936 by John V. L. Hogan and Elliott Sanger. Hogan began this station as the mechanical television station W2XR, which went on the air on March 26, 1929.[5]

The station broadcasts mainly classical music recordings. One of the station's listeners was the inventor of frequency modulation, Edwin Howard Armstrong. When Armstrong put his experimental FM station, W2XMN, on the air, he arranged to rebroadcast some of WQXR's programming. This ended in 1939, when Hogan and Sanger put their own experimental FM station on the air, W2XQR, just down the dial from Armstrong at 42.3 MHz.

When the Federal Communications Commission began licensing commercial FM stations, W2XQR moved to 45.9 MHz and became W59NY; the special FM callsigns were later dropped and the station became WQXQ.

The New York Times years[edit]

In 1944, Hogan and Sanger sold their holding company, Interstate Broadcasting Company, to the New York Times Company. When the FM band was moved from 42–50 MHz to its present frequency range of 88–108 MHz in 1945, WQXQ moved to 97.7 MHz. Within a few years, the station had the callsign, WQXR-FM, and its current frequency, 96.3 MHz.

WQXR was the first AM station in New York to experiment with broadcasting in stereo, beginning in 1952. During some of its live concerts, it used two microphones positioned six feet apart. The microphone on the right led to its AM feed, and the one on the left to its FM feed, so a listener could position two radios six feet apart, one tuned to 1560 and the other to 96.3, and listen in stereo.[6][7]

During the 1950s, WQXR-FM's programming was also heard on the Rural Radio Network in Upstate New York; this ended when the RRN stations were sold to Pat Robertson's new Christian Broadcasting Network. Both the AM and FM sides continued to simulcast each other until 1965, when the FCC began requiring commonly owned AM and FM stations in large markets to broadcast separate programming for at least part of the day.

In 1962, the QXR network was purchased by Novo Industrial Corporation but WQXR remained under the New York Times Company ownership.[8]

After briefly attempting to sell the WQXR stations in 1971, The New York Times was able to get a waiver of the simulcasting rules. The stations continued to duplicate each other until 1992, when the AM side changed its programming from classical to popular standards, becoming WQEW. In 1998, the Times entered into a long-term lease for WQEW with The Walt Disney Company, a move which brought Radio Disney to New York City.[9][10] The Times Company also included a purchase clause in the lease contract, and ABC exercised the option in 2007.[11][12] This left WQXR-FM as the Times 's lone radio station and, following a sale of its group of television stations to Local TV that same year, the Times Company's sole remaining broadcasting property.

Univision buys the station on a three-way deal[edit]

On July 14, 2009, the New York Times Company announced it was trading the 96.3 license to Univision Radio in return for the 105.9 license of Univision's WCAA.[13] The sale was slated to close in the second half of 2009. At 8 p.m. on October 8, 2009, Univision and The Times traded licenses.

The frequency swap was part of a three-way deal between Univision, the New York Times Company and WNYC. Univision paid the New York Times Company $33.5 million to trade broadcasting licenses with the Times. WNYC then paid the New York Times Company $11.5 million for 105.9 FM’s license, equipment and the WQXR call letters and website (changing the web domain from wqxr.com to wqxr.org) [14][15][16] As a result of the deal, the license changed the call sign to WCAA (and later to WXNY-FM) and flipped the format to Tropical Top 40.

On May 19, 2014 Tropical music shifted to Latin Urban music by using "¡Música Urbana y Mucho Más!".

WQXR-FM (105.9 FM) is an American classical radio station licensed to Newark, New Jersey and serving the New York City metropolitan area. It is the most-listened-to classical-music station in the United States, with an average quarter-hour audience of 63,000.[citation needed]

It is owned by the nonprofit New York Public Radio, which also operates WNYC (820 AM and 93.9 FM) and the four-station New Jersey Public Radio group. WQXR-FM broadcasts from studios and offices in the Hudson Square section of Manhattan, and the transmitter is located atop the Empire State Building.

History[edit]

The station first came on the air in 1964 as WHBI, which was originally owned by Hoyt Brothers Inc.. In the 1980s, the station - by then property of Multicultural Radio Broadcasting - went by the call letters WNWK, and aired leased-access ethnic programming.

In 1998, the station, under new ownership, started playing hit Spanish music as "Caliente 105.9" ("Hot 105.9"), with the call letters WCAA. In September 1999, the station changed its moniker to "105.9 Latino Mix" ("105.9 Latin Mix"). In February 2004, the station's owner, Univision Communications bought the 92.7 FM frequency in Garden City, New York which was the home of WLIR-FM and made it a western Long Island simulcast of 105.9 under the call letters WZAA. Some criticized this move because there are sections of the signal of 92.7 which overlap with the weak signal (in relation to other New York City stations) of 105.9.

On May 27, 2005, WCAA adapted a reggaeton format. La Kalle is a fanciful spelling of La Calle, Spanish for "the street."

The station's HD2 station, which it was launched in 2006, aired the original "Caliente/Latino Mix" format (The Tropical music format).

In the summer of 2006, Univision launched the National Affiliates page for its "La Kalle" stations around the United States, the Mini-Page also includes Quick-Links to live audio streams of other La Kalle stations.

Also in mid-2006, the station adopted the slogan "Yo Soy La Kalle!" ("I Am La Kalle!"), Thus Replacing The "Reggaeton y Mas" Slogan From Its Format Change. The New Slogan was Also Part Of A Nationwide Promotional Campaign That Univision Adopted For Most Of Its Other La Kalle Affiliates.

In late December 2006, the station dropped the "Yo Soy La Kalle" slogan for the slogan "El Movimento Latino" (in English, "The Latino Movement".) In February 2007, the La Activaeda Block and SUBELO Midday Mix switched DJs, DJ Kazzanova ran the 5 p.m. mix programming, and station resident DJ, DJ SpinOne, mixed the Midday Mix, however, some of the DJs were still in the station mixing in club broadcasts and mix shows, notably DJ Presice, who was still doing the Saturday "The Show" block and DJ Rey-Mo Who was mixing on La Kalle during select live club mix broadcasts. On mid-April 2007, the regular La Activaeta Block returned with the same schedule before the Kazzanova-SpinOne switch.

On January 11, 2007 Univision dropped the La Kalle simulcast by flipping 92.7 WZAA to a regional Mexican format. The station is now known as 92.7 Qué Buena. 92.7 was removed from the logo on La Kalle's website.

In an unprecedented decision by station executives in Mid-February 2007, the station started playing more of their old format as opposed to just Reggaeton 24/7. Some of the schedule changes were to blame for this format mix-up. The station aired a mix of Bachata and Salsa, with Reggaeton still being a primary format. These changes had no effect on the mix shows, but DJ Kazzanova played some Bachata/Salsa sometimes during his mix shifts. (not SUBELO Reggaeton Radio, his syndicated Reggaeton show airing on this station.) Also, in a TV advertisement spot, the new format mix was shown when one of the Bachata songs were shown in the ad.

These changes culminated on January 17, 2008 when Luis Jimenez returned to New York airwaves with his nationally syndicated morning show, The Luis Jimenez Show until his cancellation on July 16, 2014 after 7 years because of low ratings. The format was similar to the Latino Mix format that dominated the station before 2005.

On July 14, 2009, the New York Times Company announced it was trading the 96.3 license of WQXR-FM to Univision Radio in return for the 105.9 license.[1] The sale was slated to close in the second half of 2009. At 8 p.m. on October 8, 2009, Univision and The Times traded licenses.

The license swap was part of a three-way deal between Univision, the New York Times Company and WNYC. Univision paid the New York Times Company $33.5 million to trade broadcasting licenses with the Times. WNYC then paid the New York Times Company $11.5 million for 105.9 FM’s license, equipment and the WQXR call letters and website (changing the web domain from wqxr.com to wqxr.org) [2][3][4] As a result of the deal, the license changed the call sign to WQXR-FM.

WQXR operates two translator stations – 103.7 in Highland, New York and 96.7 in Asbury Park, New Jersey. WQXR's audio is carried over WNYC's HD2 channel at 93.9 FM, and over Time Warner Cable television channel 590 in the Hudson Valley, New York.[5] On July 29, 2013, WQXR began broadcasting on the former WDFH, now WQXW (90.3 FM) in Ossining, New York, covering northern and central Westchester County.[6]

Worldwide, WQXR's standard programming is available on its Webcast, and the station also has a Webcast called Q2, focusing on classical works by living composers. Q2's daily playlist is called Living Music, Living Composers.[7]

Callsign history[edit]

Main articles: WFME (AM) and WXNY-FM

The WQXR-FM callsign was first assigned to the FM 96.3, which is WXNY-FM. The calls are derivated from WFME (formerly called WQXR from 1936 until 1992), founded on 1929 as a experimental Television Station. WQXR was de first classical radio station. The FM station signed on in 1939. In 1944, the stations were sold to The New York Times.[8]

In 1965, the FCC began requiring commonly owned AM and FM stations in large markets to broadcast separate programming for at least part of the day. WQXR-FM concentrated on longer Classical works, while WQXR (AM) aired lighter Classical music and talk programs produced in conjunction with The New York Times. WQXR-FM returned to simulcast the AM in 1971, and until 1992 (when the AM changed its programming from classical to popular standards, becoming WQEW).

The Times sold WCAA and the intellectual property of WQXR-FM (call letters and format) to the New York Public Radio.[4][3][9][10]

Programming of WQXR-FM 96.3 and 105.9[edit]

As with most remaining classical music stations in the U.S., the station's playlist has changed over the years to focus on shorter and more easily assimilated pieces and away from long pieces and most vocal music including opera. However, when compared to music programming from WQXR's early days (1940s and 1950s) the change in music is not as pronounced as might be expected. The station does, however, play a fair amount of 20th-century classical works. It also continues to play long pieces during special broadcasts, and during evening hours (7 p.m. to 6 a.m.) and also broadcasts a complete opera at least once a week. Most notably, it is the headquarters for broadcasting the Metropolitan Opera radio broadcasts each Saturday afternoon during its season, from December to April.

In addition to music, WQXR had newscast and financial updates of various lengths, from thirty seconds to three minutes, prepared initially by Bloomberg Radio (WBBR-AM 1130 kHz New York City). Over the years, the prominence that WQXR afforded to news first rose, then steadily diminished. During the 1950s and 1960s, WQXR provided five minutes of news each hour, uninterrupted by commercials. "Every hour on the hour, the New York Times brings you the latest news bulletins." These bulletins focused heavily on New York City, New York State, national, and international developments. It also featured a weather forecast for the New York Metropolitan area. Sports was almost never included. This presentation expanded during the 1960s to a fifteen-minute "early evening news roundup" at 6:00 p.m. WQXR dissolved its two-person news department in late 2008. It had broadcast from the actual newsroom of The New York Times at 229 West 43rd Street, 1.4 miles from WQXR's studios at Fifth Avenue and 18th Street.

WQXR relied on New York Times contributors for a number of short-form features, such as "The Front Page of Tomorrow's New York Times" broadcast six evenings at 9:00 PM and prepared by Times reporter James Barron, also a weekly fifteen-minute book feature prepared in conjunction with the New York Times Book Review editors, a weekly review of dance, and weekday reports on theatre, dining and wine. The New York Times White House correspondent also had frequent reports which were aired during the Morning Show. Since the transfer of ownership to New York Public Radio, the station has aired brief news updates during drive time from the WNYC newsroom.

WQXR also broadcast some religious services, including a weekly Lutheran service from the previous week on Sunday morning, as well as Sunday morning services, alternately, from two Unitarian churches, the Community Church and All Souls Church (New York).

The station also features a weekly program about piano entitled Reflections from the Keyboard, which is hosted by David Dubal. Dubal had previously been music director at WNCN (a defunct classical-music radio station in New York City), WQXR's competitor in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. Reflections from the Keyboard took a four year hiatus from new programs starting in August 2009. New programs returned to WQXR in June 2013. Some of the current WQXR announcers, as well as its program director, were previously employed at WNCN. WQXR's national programs include New York Philharmonic This Week hosted by Alec Baldwin, Exploring Music hosted by Bill McGlaughlin, Performance Today hosted by Fred Child, Pipedreams hosted by Michael Barone and From The Top hosted by Christopher O'Riley. David Garland hosts two shows on WQXR each week: Movies on the Radio, a show that has a different movie theme each week, and airs on Saturdays at 9PM; he also hosts Old School, a program that plays old time classical pieces. Bob Sherman hosts The McGraw Hill Financial Young Artist's Showcase, which displays the talents of young emerging artists. The show airs Wednesday Nights at 9PM (The show, during WQXR's ownership by The New York Times, aired at 9:05 PM because of James Barron's Front Page of The New York Times.) The showcase has been airing on WQXR since 1978.

NBC Owned Television Stations[edit]

Logo of NBC Owned Television Stations

On August 3, 1995, NBC agreed to acquire Outlet Communications for $326 million.[2] The deal (which included 3 owned stations and 2 operated under a time brokerage agreement) was closed on February 2, 1996.[3]

In 1997, NBC and LIN Television Corporation formed Station Venture Holdings. with LIN sold a controlling interest in KXAS to NBC, and NBC contributed KNSD to the resulting partnership. Owing to their controlling stake in the partnership, NBC took operational control of both stations[4][4] These stations when in the JV were considered owned and operated stations as NBC holds a majority stake in the venture.[5] NBC operated the company through its 79.62% interest and LIN Media the remaining 20.38%.[6]

In 2006, NBC sold four stations from its smallest markets. In November 2007, the division changed its name to NBC Local Media. In March 2008, Local Media decided to focus on growing websites and the top ten market stations placing WTVJ in Miami and WVIT in Hartford up for sale.[7]

LXTV was acquired in January 2008 by NBC Local Media[8] followed in March by the purchased of Skycastle Entertainment, Local Media's former outside sales and marketing firm.[9] After NBC Weather Plus was shut down in late 2008, WNBC launched a replacement programming of local information, news and livestyle as NBC New York Nonstop in March 2009 using LXTV programs.[10] In January 2009, Local Media and Fox Television Stations set up a local news sharing service starting with their Philadelphia stations after testing since the summer of 2008. Footage will be made available to other local media.[11] On July 29, 2009, NBC Local Integrated Media replaced the standard station extension websites with city centric websites using nbccity.com web addresses.[12]

In February 2010, the NBC stations launched a new website, theFeast.com, a restaurant news, blog and aggregate critic feature.[13] Additional vertical websites were also launched including The Goods and The 20. Stations are encouraged by Local Media to develop their own specialized websites. The 20 is for the top special interest articles and the Goods is a group buying website launched in May.[14]

In late 2010 and early 2011, eight more NBC O&O stations adopted the Nonstop digital subchannel format including the three California as one network. Each stations' Nonstop subchannel has eight hours of local programming along with core programming from affiliated production company's, LXTV: Talk Stoop, First Look and Open House.[15]

In the Summer 2011, the company started to sell national advertising on behalf of affiliated cable channel, New England Cable News (NECN).[16] In June, NBC Local Media's new president Valari Staab renamed the company to NBC Owned Television Stations (NBCOTS).[17] On November 3, NBCOTS announced that its seven local Nonstop subchannels would become a single national network, Nonstop Network. The Network will also add its stations that currently do not have a Nonstop subchannel and beyond to other markets.[18] A NBC executive indicated that the independent formatted Nonstop channels were doing well but needed separate 24/7 programming. The Network will have day time retro reruns and evening livestyle shows. Local stations will be able to pre-empt the national programming. By July 2012, NBC was also considering renaming the Network to "Bob TV" or some other name.[19]

With Comcast purchasing controlling interest from General Electric of NBCUniversal in 2011, NBC stations were required by the Federal Communications Commission to develop partnership agreements with nonprofit news organizations.[14] TheFeast website was transferred to NBCU affiliate DailyCandy.com in November.[20]

With the success of the NECN advertising partnership in April 2012, the division and the Comcast Sports Group extended the partnership nationwide with four additional markets where there are both a Comcast SportsNet channel and a NBC-owned station (New England, Mid-Atlantic, Northwest and Philadelphia).[16]

On October 24, 2012, NBCOTS announced it will relaunch the NBC Nonstop network as Cozi TV, which will feature classic TV shows, movies and original programming.[21]

In February 2013, LIN Media pulled out of its Station Venture Operations joint venture with NBCUniversal as part of a corporate reorganization, giving NBC 100% ownership of the venture's two stations, KNSD and KXAS-TV.[22] LIN paid NBC around $100 million to allow for the transaction.[22] Currently, the company still exists, but managed entirely by NBCUniversal (through its subsidiaries NBC Telemundo License LLC, NBCU New LLC I and NBCU New LLC II with 80%, 19% and 1% of interest respectively).[23]

Telemundo Station Group[edit]

On April 12, 2002, Telemundo was purchased by NBC for $2.7 billion.[24]

In April 2002, NBC bought KPHZ (now KTAZ), KPHZ-LP and KPSW-LP from Venture Technologies Group for $7,5 million.[25] It was finalized on September 26, 2002.[26]

In September 2002, NBC agreed to acquire WPXB from Paxson for $26 million, with the intention of making channel 60 an owned-and-operated station of Telemundo.[27][28] The sale was completed on October 29, 2002;[29] two days later, the call letters were changed to WNEU.[30] Channel 60 continued to air ShopNBC programming until April 2003, while ValueVision Media (ShopNBC's parent company) was in the process of acquiring WWDP to move ShopNBC there; WNEU switched to Telemundo that month.[31] Concurrently with the station joining Telemundo, WNEU entered into a joint sales and time brokerage agreement with ZGS Communications, owner of existing Telemundo affiliate WTMU-LP (then on channel 32; now on channel 46).[32] During this time, WNEU effectively served as a full-power satellite of WTMU-LP,[33] even though channel 60 was promoted as the main station. The local marketing agreement with ZGS expired in April 2014; at that time, NBCUniversal retook full control of WNEU and placed the station in its Telemundo Station Group.[34][35]

On October 8, 2002, NBC announced that it would acquire three Telemundo affiliates: KHRR (in Tucson) and KDRX-CA (in Phoenix) from Television Apogeo, and KNSO (in Fresno) from Sainte Partners II, L.P..[36] The sale of Arizona stations were completed on January 1, 2003;[37][38] while the acquisition of the Telemundo-affiliate in Fresno was completed on April 30, 2003.[39]

On February 23, 2005, NBC bought Telemundo affiliate KBLR for $32.1 million.[40][41] The sale was completed on May 24, 2005.[42]

In early 2005, NBCUniversal reached an agreement with the Daystar Television Network, and the two broadcasters together filed an application with the Federal Communications Commission to move NBC-owned KPHZ (KTAZ) from Holbrook to Phoenix, where it would broadcast on channel 39. Daystar’s KDTP would move from Phoenix to Holbrook, broadcasting on channel 11. It was an unusual and complicated request that involved not only a swap of cities of license and frequencies, but would also require removing the non-commercial reservation from channel 39 in Phoenix and creating a non-commercial reservation on channel 11 in Holbrook. Holbrook already had a non-commercial allocation on channel 18 which had never been built, and most likely never would be.[43] In addition, NBCUniversal would transfer KDRX-CA to Daystar, preserving a Daystar outlet in Phoenix. On October 5, 2005 the FCC agreed to allow the switch, saying that the benefit of having competing full-power Spanish-language television stations in the Phoenix market outweighed the loss of the non-commercial reservation.[43][44] In April 2006, the FCC granted construction permits to move the licenses.[45][46] The move was completed on July 23, 2006.[47]

In January 2006, NBCUniversal agreed to buy Denver's KDEN-TV from Longmont Broadcasting.[48] The acquisition was completed on July 13.[49] In November, NBCUniversal agreed to donate Steamboat Springs' KMAS-TV (who was the main Telemundo affiliate for Denver before NBC's acquisition of KDEN) to Rocky Mountain Public Broadcasting Network.[50] The donation was completed on July 26, 2007.[51]

On January 26, 2011, NBCUniversal announced the sale of its Spanish-language independent station KWHY-TV to the Meruelo Group due to its pending merger with Comcast.[52] The sale was completed on July 1.[53]

On March 21, 2013, NBCUniversal entered into an agreement to acquire WWSI from ZGS Communications for $20 million. Prior to the sale agreement, WWSI had been the largest station (in terms of market size) aligned with Telemundo that was not an owned-and-operated station of the network. The deal created a duopoly with NBC-owned Philadelphia station WCAU.[54] The sale was completed on July 2.[55]

New Division[edit]

In July 2013, NBCOTS and Telemundo's O&Os station groups were brought together to form a new division, NBCUniversal Owned Television Stations under NBC TV Station president Valari Staab, while NECN was transferred into NBC Stations.[1]

On September 13, 2013, NBC announced the adquisition of Telemundo affiliate KTLM (the license was acquired by NBC Telemundo License LLC and the non-license assets by Telemundo Rio Grande Valley LLC).[56][57] The sale was finalized on December 31.[58]

On January 7, 2016, NBCOTS announced that it would launch an NBC O&O in Boston on January 1, 2017, replacing WHDH.[59] It was originally rumored that NBC would air primary on a WNEU channel, however on November 1, it was announced that NBC will air on its current translator WBTS-LD (acquired from WNEU's former operator ZGS Communications) with WNEU airing on its DT2 channel for the New Hampshire side of the DMA.[60][61][62]

In January 2017, NBC announced that its launching a new Telemundo O&O station in San Diego, replacing Mexican licensed station XHAS-TDT (whose affiliation will expire in June 2017).[63][64]

Units[edit]

Also, NBCUnievrsal holds a 14% interest of EVINE Live, Inc. (formerly Valuevision Media, Inc.) owner of WWDP (Norwell/Boston),[65][66][67][68] however the company neither has nor exercises control of ValueVision.[69]

LU 84, channel 7, is a Telefe owned-and-operated television station located in Neuquén, Neuquén Province, Argentina. The station is owned by Televisión Federal S.A., subsidiary of Telefónica.

History[edit]

LU 84 started their regular transmitions on December 5, 1965. The station was founded by Alfredo Suárez, Jorge Gravier and Rodolfo Riavitz.[1]

In 1970, it was installed the first translator of LU 84, located in El Chocón,[2] but was authorized to operate in 1971.[3]

On September 2, 1998, Dicor Difusión Córdoba S.A. (owner of LV 85, Channel 8 of Córdoba) and Pedro Simoncini (one of owners del LT84, Channel 5 of Rosario) become shareholdes of Neuquén TV S.A. (licensee of LU 84).[4] On that month, Dicor Difusión Córdoba y Neuquén TV were sold to Editorial Atlántida, becoming part of Grupo Telefe.[5]

In 1999, Telefónica acquires Channel 11 Buenos Aires (Telefe) and 7 other channels (inclued LU 84).[6][7] On May 2000, Telefónica assumed the operations of the 8 TV stations.[8]

On August 30, 2011, the Federal Authority for Audiovisual Communication Services, through the Resolution number 1033, authorized to channel 7 to start a experimental transmission on digital. It was assigned the channel 38 on UHF band;[9] however, the digital signal is not airing yet.[10]

On December 6, 2012, Telefe presented on the Federal Authority for Audiovisual Communication Services its plan of voluntary adaptation with the intention to adapt to the 2009 Audiovisual Services Law, where the company proposed the divest of LU 84 and LU 80, Channel 9 of Bahia Blanca.[11][12] The plan was approved on December 16, 2014.[13][14][15] The stations are still for sale.

On June 4, 2015, the Federal Authority for Audiovisual Communication Services, through the Resolution 381, assigned to LU 84 the Channel 29.1 for regular broadcast on Digital (in HD).[16]

News programming[edit]

LU 84 presently broadcasts 20¼ hours of locally produced newscasts each week (with 4¼ hours on weekdays); LU 84 does not carry newscasts on Saturdays and Sundays.

The newscast debuted on August 1, 1999.[2]

On October 2013, the state-owned Radio y Televisión del Neuquén S.E. launched a morning newscast (produced independently from the Channel 7 news departament) called A Diario.[17]

Translators[edit]

LU 84 extends its coverage throughout the Neuquén Province, plus parts of the La Pampa and Río Negro provinces, using a network of 42 translator television stations listed below.[18]
