WNYE

WNYE is a non-commercial educational FM radio station licensed to New York City. WNYE is operated by NYC Media, a division of the Mayor's Office of Media and Entertainment, along with WNYE-TV . WNYE's studios are located at the City University of New York’s Graduate Center at 365 Fifth Avenue, while its transmitter is located at the former Condé Nast Building. Because its funding comes from the City of New York, WNYE is different from most non-commercial radio stations in that it does not ask for listener donations and it airs no fund drives.

WNYE began broadcasting as a high-frequency Apex band station in November 1938 with the call sign WCNY, giving it an earlier starting date than any other FM station in New York City. In October 1939 the call letters were changed to WNYE because the original call sign was considered to be too similar to WNYC, the New York City municipal station. WNYE switched to 42.1 MHz in the old FM band in 1942. In 1946, it moved to 91.7 MHz, in today's current FM band; then in 1948, it settled at 91.5 MHz.
