From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
WFNP is a college radio station licensed to Rosendale, New York run by students attending the State University of New York at New Paltz, broadcasting on 88.7 MHz at 6 kilowatts ERP from the Illinois Mountain tower in Marlborough, New York.
WFNP-FM is one of a handful of time-share FM stations remaining in the United States, since its 1990 signon it has shared the 88.7 frequency with WRHV-FM (originally WMHX-FM), a simulcast of classical-formatted WMHT-FM Schenectady. Currently, WFNP-FM is on the air from 7:00 PM-5:00 AM weeknights and 10:00 PM-5:00 AM weekends while school is in session (September 1st to November 30th and February 1st until April 30th). Since the mid 1990s, WFNP-FM has looked to find its own frequency and currently possesses a construction permit to move to 98.9 MHz and to expand to 24/7 programming.
Though WFNP-FM signed on in 1990, the station has been on in some form since 1972 when it began as a carrier current AM station heard solely on campus which also held the WFNP calls. After the launch of the WFNP-FM, the AM remained on the air with its own programming by day and an FM simulcast by night. WFNP (AM) lasted until the early 2000s when it was succeeded by the combination of a webcast and a simulcast on WNPC, the campus TV station. As a tip to its heritage, the non-FM programming is referred to as "the AM station".
