NYC Media Group
[edit]some of this information is incorrect. "NYC Media Group" is not a disguise-- the station has transferred as an asset of the board of education to the nyc media group. however, both organizations are new york city governmental agencies. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.131.241.223 (talk) 23:16, 21 November 2006
Wilkowsky dramas
[edit]Does anyone remember the half hour dramas by Peter H. Wilkowsky that we used to air from the Brooklyn Tech studios up on the roof, next to the hydroponics garden sometime around 1945? I remember reading the role of Winston Churchill as he nearly drowned. John Larry Baer, jsbaer@cox.net —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.106.116.155 (talk) 14:58, 17 July 2007
Unclear statements
[edit]The following statements are unclear and unsourced:
- "WNYE-FM airs domestic programs on weekdays and international programs on the weekend and for several hours on weeknights."
- Does this refer to programs with an international focus? Produced abroad? In foreign languages? There are domestic shows on the weekends!
- The programming is "like a multicultural broadcasting station (not to be confused with the company "Multicultural Broadcasting")".
- Replacing BBC news with "promotions for alcohol consumption"...
I've moved them here and out of the article for now. --EnOreg (talk) 00:19, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
Missing sources
[edit]The following statements are lacking sources and have been moved out of the article:
- "In August of 2007, it was learned that station management was planning a radical overhaul of the programming, ..."
- "This programing change was coupled with a subsequent plan to move the transmitter from Brooklyn to midtown Manhattan at 4 Times Square, thus virtually doubling its broadcast strength."

Past WNYE Programming
[edit]My father, Milton Ogur (God rest his soul), was an engineer at WNYE-FM for 25 years, retiring in 1978. My father said that the series he was proudest of was "High School of the Air," a home instruction program for students who physically could not go to a brick-and-mortar school building. Also of note was that during a good portion of the 1970s WNYE broadcast evening music and community-oriented programs from the Bedford-Stuyvesant Youth-in-Action Community Corporation. I just wanted to point out WNYE's effect on the New York scene back then.
