Loud Media is pleased to announce that they have come to an agreement with St. Lawrence University doing business as North Country Public Radio to sell WNYV FM, Whitehall NY and acquire W247BJ Glens Falls NY.

Ricki Lee, Loud Media: “We’ve throughly enjoyed our tenure of WNYV operating as K94.1 for several years. The sale to NCPR gives the signal a perfect new home and our acquisition of translator W247BJ with its granted move into the Saratoga Springs area allows for growth of Saratoga’s Star Radio and I’m excited to get this new translator CP built and on the air”

Mitch Teich, NCPR Station Manager: “North Country Public Radio has been committed to serving communities around the region for more than 55 years. We’re thrilled to be able to serve our audience better in the Glens Falls and Saratoga Springs area with the purchase of WNYV.”
