[Swprograms] WNNZ 640 Westfield MA

[John Figliozzi <jfiglio1@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I haven't seen this reported anywhere as of yet, but if it's old news  
I apologize.

WFCR Public Radio based in Amherst MA has taken over WNNZ in  
Westfield MA (both near Springfield in central Massachusetts), a  
formerly commercial AM (MW) outlet which broadcasts on 640 kHz. with  
50 kW daytime and 15 kW nighttime, directional antenna.  WFCR has  
decided--at least for now--to program WNNZ separately.  WNNZ has been  
adding NPR and PRI content, plus it relays the BBC World Service from  
10 p.m. to 6 a.m., Monday through Friday; and 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. on  
weekends.

The full schedule may be downloaded from <http://www.wfcr.org/about/ 
WNNZ_program_schedule.pdf>.  For ECNA listeners this will be a DX  
catch of sorts, the further out you are from central New England.   
Here in Halfmoon, NY (just north of Albany and about 100 miles from  
the transmitter), I get perfectly listenable daytime and nighttime  
reception.
