The first commercial radio station on Nantucket Island, MA has launched.
After testing for a day with a loop of Neil Diamond’s “Sweet Caroline” 97.7 WAZK launched at 5pm today as Variety Hits “97.7 ACK-FM“. Owned by Jeff Shaprio, who runs a group of stations in Vermont the stations is branding itself as “True. Island. Radio”.
WACK-97.7 is [b]not[/b] the first commercial radio station on Nantucket Island.
The 96.3 now allocated to Cape Cod (WEII) was originally based on Nantucket. I believe even during it’s top-40 days as WRZE, it’s transmitter was on the island.
