WXLJ (94.1 FM) is a public radio station licensed to Whitehall, New York, United States, serving the Saratoga Springs, New York, area. The station is owned by The St. Lawrence University, and is an affiliate of their North Country Public Radio network. [3] WXLJ (at the time WNYV) and its former AM sister, WVNR in Poultney, used to simulcast 100% of the time and go by the on-air slogan of "K94.1". WVNR has now ceased broadcasting and its license surrendered to the FCC. See WVNR for more information. The station was owned and operated by Loud Media. [4]
WXLJ's signal covers Glens Falls, Queensbury, parts of Saratoga, and parts of western Vermont. A small mountain range inhibits the signal from reaching clearly into Rutland.
On May 5, 2020, it was announced the station had been sold to Loud Media pending FCC approval.[5]
On July 25, 2020, Loud Media rebranded the station as "K94.1" playing classic country.[6] The new format and branding replicates its sister station K96.9 KYAP.
On December 9, 2020, WNYV began simulcasting on WABY in Watervliet, New York, and W231DU in Albany, New York.[7] This simulcast ended in March 2023.
On November 7, 2023, Loud Media filed an application with the FCC to transfer the broadcast license of WNYV to St. Lawrence University, who began operating the station as North Country Public Radio via a local marketing agreement on November 13.[8] The sale of the license, at a price of $50,000, was consummated on March 13, 2024. The station changed its call sign from WNYV to WXLJ on April 1, 2024.
