WFAS (AM): Difference between revisions

On April 20, 2021, it was announced that WFAS had notified the FCC of their intentions to convert to an exclusively digital HD Radio signal, their plan being to complete the process by May 24. The station would be the third AM station in the United States to do so, following [[WWFD]] in Frederick, Maryland (broadcasting to the [[Washington D.C.]] area) and [[WMGG]] near Tampa, Florida. However, unlike these other two stations, WFAS's programming is not also carried over an analog FM translator. With the announcement, WFAS would also flip to [[conservative talk]] the same day, branded as "Digital AM 1230, New Talk for New York", featuring a variety of conservative talk shows otherwise not cleared in the market. CBS Sports Radio will continue to fill weekend timeslots.<ref>[https://radioinsight.com/headlines/207306/suburban-new-york-am-to-go-all-digital-next-month/ "Suburban New York AM To Go All Digital Next Month"] by Lance Venta, April 20, 2021 (radioinsight.com)</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://radioinsight.com/headlines/208468/wfas-sets-lineup-for-its-all-digital-talk-flip/|title=WFAS Sets Lineup For Its All-Digital Talk Flip|last=Venta|first=Lance|date=20 May 2021|work=RadioInsight|access-date=24 May 2021}}</ref> WNBM began simulcasting WFAS in December 2021 to provide the station an analog signal.<ref>{{Cite web|title=WNBM To Bring Westwood One Talkers To New York|url=https://radioinsight.com/headlines/216919/wnbm-to-flip-to-talk/|access-date=2021-12-18|website=RadioInsight|language=en-US}}</ref>
