NY Radio: WIRY Launches FM Signal

WIRY Hometown Radio in Plattsburgh, NY (Burlington VT) is now broadcasting on 100.7 FM as well as 1340 AM.

"We've been working on this for about 15 years," said WIRY Hometown Radio Owner and General Manager Bill Santa said. "We believe it will give us a bigger audience and a wider reach."

The two stations will have largely the same format, Santa said. They may tweak their programming a little for FM, maybe with more music and possibly some syndicated shows at night.

Santa bought the station in 1995 and changed the name to Hometown Radio WIRY.

Santa said he is proud to be the only station that is still based in Plattsburgh and to now offer this additional service to its residents.

"I think Plattsburgh should have an FM station," he said.
