WFCR's Pittsfield/Lenox Frequency Moves to 106.1FM04:33PM / Thursday, October 01, 2009
AMHERST, Mass. - On October 7, 2009 (weather permitting), WFCR's translator station in the Pittsfield/Lenox area of Berkshire County will move from 93.9FM to 106.1FM, ensuring listeners a clear signal, free of interference.
There will be only a brief interruption in service while some equipment is changed that morning. (WFCR's station in Lee will also be off the air briefly in a related change, but will return to the air quickly on the same frequency it uses now, 98.3FM.) In the case of inclement weather, the change will occur as soon as possible.
In 2007, WFCR installed a series of five low-power stations in Berkshire County to enhance the station's signal in that part of the state. The stations rebroadcast WFCR programming on 101.1FM (Adams/North Adams), 98.7FM (Great Barrington), 98.3FM (Lee), and 96.3FM (Williamstown) -- and from October 7 onward, on 106.1FM in the Pittsfield/Lenox region.
"Since the completion of the Berkshire expansion project, WFCR's listenership and base of support in the western-most part of the state has grown quickly," said General Manager, Martin Miller. "The five stations make it possible for Berkshire listeners to hear the classical music, jazz and news programs that listeners elsewhere in western Massachusetts have enjoyed for the nearly 50 years WFCR has been on the air, and the feedback we've heard from so many listeners in the region has been incredibly positive."
The WFCR Newsroom covers stories from Berkshire County, and all of western New England. In addition, the station offers a full day of locally produced classical music programming each weekday (9AM-4PM), and Jazz a la Mode (weekdays 8PM-11PM), which celebrates 25 years on the air at WFCR this fall, along with National Public Radio staples like Morning Edition and All Things Considered and Fresh Air.
The station also provides live broadcasts from Tanglewood in the summer months and maintains relationships with several Berkshire County cultural institutions including Mass MoCA, which hosted the station's second "Public Radio Pub Night" event in August.
Listeners in the western part of Massachusetts and the Albany region of New York state can also hear the full line-up of public radio news and information programming that WFCR offers through WNNZ, broadcasting on 640AM.
"As we continue to expand our presence in the Berkshires through regional reporting and cultural partnerships, and through our broadcast footprint, WFCR looks forward to becoming the region's source of public radio programming about and for Massachusetts," said Miller.
