WFCR(FM), Public Radio for Western New England, has begun IBOC operation. In
a ceremony Wednesday, long-time donors Joseph and Dorothy Gavin of Amherst,
Mass. turned on the HD Radio transmitter atop Mount Lincoln in Pelham.

The Gavins are early lead donors to a capital campaign for a new facility.
Mr. Gavin for many years worked as an engineer at Grumman Corporation, where
he oversaw the design, testing and manufacture of 12 Apollo Lunar Modules.
Dorothy Gavin is an alumna of the University of Massachusetts, the licensee
of WCFR.

WFCR GM Martin Miller said, "Digital technology promises to significantly
increase the quality and scope of program services the station offers to its
listeners. For now, we will be broadcasting our normal programming in
digital, but, in the future, we will be able to provide data in addition to
sound, or broadcast a second program stream on our assigned frequency."

"Second program stream......" It will be interesting to see if it will
consist of the programming presently on their 1430AM.

I thought the FM station was owned by some university out there;
the last time I tuned in to the AM, which was a while ago, the AM
side (recently owned by the Catholic church) had been sold and
was running some kind of big band format.

Never mind my previous post. For some reason, I always mix up WFCR and WCRN!
