WNLC 1510 New London, Connecticut


WNLC 1510 AM exists no more but its FM version is still on the air. More information upcoming.


It's been silent for more than a year, and now AM 1510 in New London, CONNECTICUT is history. The station known for most of its history as WNLC sent its satellite standards format over to the FM side (WNLC-FM 98.7, formerly WXZR, East Lyme) last year and shut down, supposedly to repair serious problems with the eight-tower array in Waterford.

WNLC(AM) changed calls to WWJY earlier this year, and in April, notified the FCC it was surrendering its nighttime authority and removing five of the eight towers, leaving it as a 10 kilowatt, 3-tower daytimer...if it ever returned to the air.

Now it appears to be gone, which leaves some potential for a certain other station on 1510, WNRB Boston. The presence of WNLC in New London always forced WNRB to have a huge null to the southwest. With WNLC's departure (and the disappearance of CKRS Sherbrooke QC some years back as well), WNRB just might be able to become a much more potent night signal than its current highly-directional 50 kilowatts can manage.
