More information

 

WNYC has a long and distinguished history of providing New York and the nation with unique news, educational, cultural, and public affairs programming. WNYC-AM 820, one of the oldest radio stations in America, first went on the air on July 8, 1924. WNYC 93.9 FM signed on in 1943. Before January 1997, both stations were owned by the City of New York and operated by the WNYC Foundation, a not-for-profit organization established by private citizens committed to the cause of public radio. In 1995, the WNYC Foundation agreed to purchase the two WNYC radio licenses from the City of New York for $20 million and WNYC Radio is now run as an independent, not-for-profit organization. Grants and listener contributions cover more than 60% of the operating budgets for the two radio stations.
