WNYO (FM)
WNYO is a college radio station broadcasting from the State University of New York at Oswego in the City of Oswego, New York. It is a 24/7 radio station operated and managed by the students of SUNY Oswego. Broadcasting from the SUNY Oswego Marano Campus Center, WNYO broadcasts primarily alternative and hip-hop music throughout the day, as well as a fair amount of talk and sports-oriented programming.
WNYO also runs news segments, conducts interviews with artists, and plays syndicated NPR programs when students do not have shows. It broadcasts Oswego State Lakers sporting events live for the City of Oswego and on the internet.
In 1967 a group of Seneca Hall students begin broadcasting music via 1/2 watt transmitter. Dubbed "WSEH", the signal reaches the students in some, but not all of the floors in the dorm. The staff consisted of John Long, John Krauss and Randy Risk. John Long's record player served as the station's only turntable. The students responsible for WSEH organized the Oswego State Broadcasting Service and proposed to the Student Association for a commercial college radio station which would reach the entire campus, with a starting budget of $8500. The Student Association authorized an initial expenditure of $6000, the balance to be made up by the sale of advertising and profits of station-sponsored events.
OSBS obtained a space dubbed by many as "The Closet" which was located Room 211 of the new Hewitt Union. The Executive Board was hoping to obtain a license from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for an FM radio station in 1968, but in the interim transmitted their signal to the dorms via telephone lines and carrier current transmitters which utilize a building's electrical wiring as a broadcast antenna. The system, as devised, required no FCC license.
The station would be identified by the call letters "WOCR", signifying Oswego College Radio.
On November 1, 1968, at 5 p.m., WOCR signed on. The station affiliated with the Intercollegiate Broadcasting System. World and national news and information programming came via ABC's American Contemporary Network. As a 24-hour service, the signal of WHFM in Rochester was simulcast over the station from midnight until 6 a.m.
In 1969 the station moved into more spacious quarters in rooms 201 and 224 of the Hewitt Union. Station members construct a master control and production studios. Night Shift programming replaces WHFM during the overnight hours as live local announcers would go on-air.
In 1971 WOCR becomes available on TelePrompTer cable channel 6 in the city of Oswego, doubling the audience and improving opportunities for advertising sales.
