WNYC Buys WQXR
"The Radio Station of the New York Times" will have to find a new slogan.
WQXR, which has been broadcasting classical music to New Yorkers for decades has been sold.
In a complex deal, the buyers are WNYC (New York Public Radio) and Univision. In addition to the New York Times banner, 96.3 fm will pass to a new station as well (For years WQXR had broadcast at 1560 AM).
Owned by the New York Times since 1944, the station was founded in 1936 and calls itself the country’s oldest commercial radio broadcaster of classical music, and is in fact one of the first FM stations anywhere, as well as the oldest in New York.
