WXXE (90.5 FM) is a radio station broadcasting a Variety format. Licensed to Fenner, New York, USA, the station serves the Syracuse area. The station is currently owned by Syracuse Community Radio.^[1]^[2]

History

Syracuse Community Radio (SCR) was officially founded in 1994 to apply for a license to bring community radio to Syracuse's FM dial. The project grew out of organizing by the Westcott Nation Music Association that included micro-radio in the Westcott neighborhood (1990–91) and a community television audio feed on Time Warner Cable. The organization was active for two years before incorporating in 1994.

SCR currently operates WXXE 90.5 FM, which was originally licensed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on February 11, 2000. In 2006, the FCC approved the license renewal of WXXE through June 1, 2014. WXXE 90.5 FM is licensed to Fenner, New York, which is a rural community in Madison County, in-between the communities of Cazenovia, Chittenango and Canastota, in the Syracuse metropolitan area. Fenner is probably best known for its extensive windmill project. Since December 2006, SCR has been airing public affairs programs such as "Democracy Now!" in the areas of Madison and Onondaga counties where WXXE can be heard currently, which is severely limited because of FCC required protection of WBXL 90.5 FM in Baldwinsville and WRVD 90.3 in Syracuse.

SCR has indicated that they will be giving up ownership of WXXE sometime in 2015 so they can instead operate WSPJ-LP which will actually put a strong signal over Syracuse, unlike the current case of WXXE. They are not allowed by FCC regulations to own both stations.^[3]
