ONEONTA, N.Y. -- WUOW, the
National Public Radio/Pacifica affiliate station at the SUNY College at
Oneonta, has received approval from the Federal Communications Commission
for a construction permit that will move the two-year-old station from a
low-power station broadcasting at 104.7 FM to a full-power station
broadcasting at 88.5 FM.
With the increase in power, WUOW will now reach more residents of Otsego
County who were not previously served by public radio with music,
thought-provoking public-affairs programming, local and national news,
community information, and the popular "Kitchen Table Conversations with
Alan Donovan."
SUNY Oneonta, operating as Oneonta Community Radio/WUOW, already employs
a state-of-the-art emergency alert system, which enables authorities to
broadcast emergency messages to Otsego County immediately through the use of
a telephone and the proper codes. The move to a full-power public radio
station is the next step in SUNY Oneonta's plan to develop a station capable
of providing news and information to area communities in times of emergency.
WUOW also provides live streaming of its signal on the web at
