WNMR (107.1 FM) was a radio station broadcasting a Urban Contemporary format. Licensed to Dannemora, New York, it serves the Champlain Valley. The station is currently owned by RadioActive, LLC (controlled by Randy Michaels). However, under a local marketing agreement, WNMR is operated by CEC Media Group, making it a sister station to television stations WNMN and WGMU-LP. The station serves as the Champlain Valley affiliate of Sporting News Radio. ==History== A construction permit for the station, then allocated to Saranac Lake, New York, was granted to RadioActive on June 6, 2005, after having won it at auction in November 2004; the allocation was later moved to Dannemora. Initially assigned the call letters WDLC on February 15, 2008, the station first signed on that June as WELX, a simulcast of WCLX (102.9 FM), which at that time had an album oriented rock format.〔 The current WNMR call letters were introduced on April 6, 2009;〔 within a week, the WCLX simulcast was discontinued, and the station temporarily went silent. WNMR returned to the air that fall, under a local marketing agreement with Convergence Entertainment and Communications, with a news/talk format. While most programming on WNMR was syndicated (including ''The Dan Patrick Show'', ''The Michael Smerconish Show'', ''The Dave Ramsey Show'', some programming from Bloomberg Radio, ''Free Talk Live'', the ''Midnight Trucking Radio Network'', lifestyle talk programming on weekends, and some Sporting News Radio content on Sundays), a local program, ''Corm and the Coach'', aired in morning drive and was co-hosted by Steve Cormier and Tom Brennan; it had previously aired on WCPV until 2008. Convergence had planned a television simulcast of the show on WGMU. WNMR also carried hourly newscasts from ABC News Radio.〔 〕 However, the station struggled due to poor advertising revenues, leading ''Corm and the Coach'' to go on hiatus after the April 7, 2010 broadcast.〔 〕 Five days later, it was announced that Convergence had put WNMR's operations up for sale;〔 〕 on May 1, the station once again left the air. After Convergence formed a new broadcast subsidiary, CEC Media Group, the station resumed broadcasting in late June with an all-sports format; most programming came from Sporting News Radio, save for a local afternoon show hosted by Rich DeLancey,〔 and, later, Mike O'Meara's one-hour talk show. However, automation problems forced WNMR off the air once more on March 11, 2011. The station went back on air for a short amount of time as 107.1 The Fixx with an Urban contemporary format. Due to disagreements with the owner the station when off air and stayed as an internet radio station. The station is currently offline and off air. As of August 2014, the station was back on the air and broadcasting Polka music 24 hours per day. There is a teaser ad that airs stating that 107.1 is the new home for "The Barrel". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「WNMR」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
