WRCR/Rockland County, NY To Be Leased To Radio India, Local English-Language Programming Moves To Online-Only

Changes

ALEXANDER BROADCASTING, INC. News-Talk-AC WRCR-A/RAMAPO, NY is being leased out to RADIO INDIA effective TUESDAY (11/15).

The station announced TODAY (11/14) that its local ROCKLAND COUNTY-centric programming will continue on the station's live Internet stream and apps, as well as local weather and traffic, but the air signal will be leased, with the station saying that its owners "have decided that the best way to use WRCR’s AM broadcast facility, 1700 on the AM radio dial, is to air Indian-language programming from RADIO INDIA for the next 12 months."

ALEXANDER BROADCASTING President Dr. ALEXANDER MEDAKOVICH said, "Just as newspapers, magazines, music and other forms of communication have been moving to digital delivery formats, we see the future of radio moving in that direction as well. While the golden age of analog, over-the-air radio had an exciting memorable past, the future of regional talk and conversation is currently just as robust and as easily accessible via the Internet and mobile apps and will continue to get even better in the future.  We look forward to serving our current audience and future listeners with great local, general interest and niche-specific programming.”
