Talk:WFAN-FM

message: Once again history has been re-written in this article when it says WPIX had a New Wave/ Punk format. Call it what you will; alternative, punk/ new wave, modern rock,"new music", etc. but the fact is New York City has never had a station with this type of format; the closest was WLIR 92.7 FM on Long Island and WHTG 106.3 FM in New Jersey. WPIX 101.9 FM, (like K-Rock 92. FM years later), PLAYED many songs within the format but also played other types of rock. 
Below is the former text for the WPIX-FM article.  I didn't see anything in here to merge into WQCD -- everything already was there. If I've missed anything, go ahead and edit it in.
WPIX-FM was a New York City FM radio station operating at 101.9 MHz and owned and operated by Tribune Company.
=== History ===
WPIX-FM went through dozens of formats. In the early 1970's they played Album Rock then in 1975 Disco then Top 40 then in 1977 Top 40/Rock then by 1978 Progressive Rock. By 1979 they were Punk/New Wave Rock and by 1980 back to Top 40/Rock. In 1981 they evolve to Album Rock.
In January of 1982 they abruptly become Top 40 but evolve to AC by March of 1982. In 1983 they market the AC format as a love songs format though the station played some uptempo hits as well. Ratings were good by 1983 and were sustained until 1985. In 1985 they evolved to an eclectic AC format then an urban based AC by 1986. In evenings they began a Contemporary Jazz show in teh fall of 1986. By the winter of 1988 WPIX FM had a Hot AC format before 7 PM and Contemporary Jazz after 7 PM. 
On August 10, 1988 WPIX FM switched to an eclectic format combining soft rock, contemporary jazz, soft R & B music, New Age Music, and AC cuts during the day while running contemporary Jazz by night. During the day the format was 50/50 vocal and instrumental while at night was almost completely instrumental.
Two weeks later the modified to more of a contemporary jazz format full time playing a couple R & B vocals per hour. This format came to be known as  Smooth jazz. Call letters became WQCD "CD 101.9," much to the consternation of its fans. Today, "CD 101.9" has shifted to a smooth jazz format mixing in soft AC cuts from the 80's and 90's and today along with a music called "Chill". Tribune sold WQCD in the mid 1990's to Emmis Communications  and its still owned by Emmis. 
ALso since the late 1940's the WPIX call letters have been on Channel 11 licensed to New York, New York and owned by Tribune Broadcasting. During the years the calls were on 101.9 they were known as WPIX FM while Channel 11 had always been and still is WPIX.

message: Is CD 101.9 still broadcasting on 101.9-HD2? The CD101.9 website is down, and I don't have an HD radio to check this out. Any help appreciated. Freddicus (talk) 15:25, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

message: An attempt to move the article WRXP to WFAN-FM was unable to be completed, as a prompt appeared stating that an article by the name WFAN-FM already existed.  At the time, the WFAN-FM article was nothing more than a redirect to the WRXP article.  Since the station's call sign change had been made (and is now official in the Federal Communications Commission database), the article was cut/paste from WRXP to WFAN-FM.  If possible, please keep the article at WFAN-FM; if a delete is necessary, please go ahead and relocate the article back to the WRXP redirect, then move the article to WFAN-FM. (The recent article moves I performed allowed a move of one article to another if that 2nd article was nothing more than a redirect; is this still possible?)Darrel M (talk) 11:47, 6 November 2012 (UTC)
