From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
WFRH is a traditional Christian music and teaching radio station licensed to Kingston, New York and serving the Mid-Hudson Valley and points north. It is owned by the non-profit Family Stations Incorporated and broadcasts on 91.7 MHz from a tower in Kingston.
The station runs programming from Family Radio and first signed on the air in 1992 to help expand the reach of the Family Radio network at the behest of listeners of the distantly based WFME in Newark, New Jersey. Since its inception, it has aired all programming from the network with the only local component being a limited local staff.
[edit] Translators
Currently, WFRH is also heard on the following frequencies:
- 90.5 W213AM Poughkeepsie (broadcasting from the Illinois Mountain tower in Marlborough)
- 105.3 W287AB Albany (broadcasting from the Helderberg Mountains tower farm in New Scotland)
The Poughkeepsie frequency had been a longtime translator of WFME (and is still listed as such on the Family Radio stations list). The Albany frequency is prone to frequent reception problems and outages due to being located between two full-power FM stations and WFRH being adjacent to local WRPI.
At one point in the late-1990s, WFRH maintained a translator network, mostly in Greene County, to improve its reach to the north and to attempt to also target Albany. These translators, and their current status, is as follows.
