WUTI
WUTI (1150 AM) was a radio station broadcasting a talk format. Licensed to Utica, New York, United States, the station, established in 1948 as WRUN, was last owned by Leatherstocking Media Group, Inc., and simulcast with WFBL in Syracuse until going off the air in 2013. History WUTI signed on April 24, 1948 as WRUN, under the ownership of the ''Rome Sentinel''. The ''Sentinel'' was concerned that the Utica-Rome area was not being served adequately by WIBX, which, at the time the paper applied for the construction permit in 1946, had a 250-watt signal incapable of reaching Rome at night; in contrast, WRUN, with its 5,000-watt signal, would have more of a regional reach. (WIBX, in turn, upgraded to 5,000 watts soon afterward.) One of its announcers during WRUN's early days, in his first job as broadcaster, was a young radio announcer named Dick Clark, whose father was the manager of WRUN AM and FM (the FM half now WFRG-FM). He was known on-air as "Dick Clay", to avoid confusion ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Public Radio
Public broadcasting involves radio, television and other electronic media outlets whose primary mission is public service. Public broadcasters receive funding from diverse sources including license fees, individual contributions, public financing and commercial financing. Public broadcasting may be nationally or locally operated, depending on the country and the station. In some countries a single organization runs public broadcasting. Other countries have multiple public-broadcasting organizations operating regionally or in different languages. Historically, public broadcasting was once the dominant or only form of broadcasting in many countries (with the notable exceptions of the United States, Mexico and Brazil). Commercial broadcasting now also exists in most of these countries; the number of countries with only public broadcasting declined substantially during the latter part of the 20th century. Definition The primary mission of public broadcasting is that of public servic ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
