message: Snox8x8, unless you have a source for the CSN time brokerage agreement, then it is original research. I looked exhaustively across two days and have not been able to find confirmation of the deal, even on the CSN website you inserted into the page. Please avoid an edit war and find a source.

thread_title: CSN speculation

message: Technical inaccuracy here - 87.7 MHz is not an actual FM broadcast frequency.  It is in fact the audio subcarrier of VHF TV channel 6.  Also, the actual frequency is 87.75 MHz.  However, I am updating the article as it appears that WNYZ is now broadcasting on TV again. Ryan 03:09, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: To clarify, 87.7 MHz is not an FM radio broadcast band frequency in most NTSC-M countries, including Canada and the United States, because of the allocation of 82-88 MHz to VHF TV 6. The frequency does, however, clearly fall within the 87.5-108MHz FM broadcast band in many other countries, including most or all of Europe. (It also falls within the Japanese 76-90 MHz FM broadcast band.) Most FM receivers will include the frequency because it is indeed valid for radio in most PAL or SECAM nations worldwide, leaving one less thing which needs to be changed between North American and European versions of the same receiver. --66.102.80.212 (talk) 02:04, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

message: WNYZ does not come in in  most if any of Central New Jersey it is overpowered by ABC's WPVI-TV 6 from Philadelphia. DLA75
^That is not really true post the June 12th switch to digital.
:Yeah it is. WPVI's digital signal is ON channel 6. And if WNYZ-LP is causing problems in Central Jersey please file complaints with the FCC and WPVI as a DTV channel 6 channel is hard enough to recieve in many areas without a bogus 87.7 FM station interfering. This franken-FM has been reaking havock in so many areas since they exploited LPTV loopholes and reallocated their TV power to broadcast with an FM stereo standard, making their signal extend well beyond their service contour, even into the Poconos.Kyl416 (talk) 17:44, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

message: As of today they are playing a jazz format. No reference, just OR from listening to the radio (and loving it! Best reception for any jazz station in my apt, too bad it won't last after Feb 1). —Elipongo (Talk contribs) 00:03, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: Wikipedia is not a place for rumors

message: The current paragraphs describing the format suggest that there are three components:
a: main block, weekdays 5am - 8pm, Russian stuff
b: overnight, 8pm - 5am, Indie Darkroom
c: Sunday mornings: Hindi
However, the writing is unclear and mangled.
I'm not in a position to listen to the station and verify the schedule, otherwise I'd clean it up myself. If someone in range of the transmitter can check out the programming and update the article, I'm sure everyone would appreciate it.
(Given the shakiness of this station in the past, I'm reluctant to make the changes without direct info.)
Thanks

thread_title: could someone re-format the actual schedule list?

message: Can anyone confirm WHICH signal (analog and digital) is on which frequency?  i'm pretty sure you can't have an analog signal and a digital signal on the same channel... i checked the FCC database, and they have applications to flash-cut (convert from analog to digital on the same frequency) on VHF 6, and no records of them using (or applying for) UHF 22.  I do see an application for UHF 49, however.  Are they using VHF 6 for analog, and UHF 22 for digital broadcasts (with 1.1 as its PSIP number)? I just feel this article is in need of a bit of clarification. RingtailedFox • Talk • Contribs 01:54, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

message: Hello, Please do not add unreferenced names as entries to the list of former employees in articles. Including this type of material in articles does not abide by current consensus and its inclusion is strongly discouraged in our policies and guidelines. The rationales are as follows:
#WP:NOT tells us, Wikipedia is "not an indiscriminate collection of information."  As that section describes, just because something is true, doesn't necessarily mean the info belongs in Wikipedia.  
#As per WP:V, we cannot include information in Wikipedia that is not verifiable and sourced. 
# WP:Source list tells us that lists included within articles (including people's names) are subject to the same need for references as any other information in the article. 
#Per WP:BLP, we have to be especially careful about including un-sourced info about living persons.
If you look at articles about companies in general, you will not find mention of previous employees, except in those cases where the employee was particularly notable.  Even then, the information is not presented just as a list of names, but is incorporated into the text itself (for example, when a company's article talks about the policies a previous CEO had, or when they mention the discovery/invention of a former engineer/researcher). If a preexisting article is already in the encyclopedia for the person you want to add to a list, it's generally regarded as sufficient to support their inclusion in list material in another article. cheers Deconstructhis (talk) 05:26, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

message: Back around August 10th, 2016  I was in the NYC area and tuned my car radio to 87.7 FM. Didn't hear anything on that frequency.
Anyone in town who can clarify whether this station is still operational? Thanks.

message: I think we should rename the article to WNYZ-LD,because it’s still Low-Powered,but it’s running on a digital Signal,and if we look at articles such as WRME-LD and WDCN-LD, All the other articles in the Surviving Franken-FMs Category switched to -LD,Should the Same go for WNYZ-LP?
