WYSL is a radio broadcasting station in Avon, New York. Broadcasting at 1040 kHz on the AM dial, the station is owned by Robert C. Savage under the name Radio Livingston and serves Livingston County and the Rochester metropolitan area. WYSL streams most of its programming on the Internet. ==History== The call letters for WYSL were taken from a radio station in Buffalo which had used the same calls (that station is now known as WWWS). Savage launched an all-news format in 1987 on 1030 kHz as a daytime-only station, but would later move to the 1040 frequency to broadcast 24 hours per day. Historically the station was an all-news radio format with both local content and programming from the Associated Press. The all-news format, however, would end in 2006 for a number of reasons. First, the Associated Press discontinued its radio services in July 2005. WYSL replaced the network with CNN Headline News, the only other national commercial all-news outlet available. After that, however, CNNHN decided to launch "Headline Prime," which effectively eliminated its viability as an all-news network between the hours of 7 PM and 2 AM ET (later expanded through the entire overnight). This left a large hole in the schedule. Third, the Rochester market's "second-tier" news talker, WROC 950, had been replaced by a progressive talk format and had locked up the area's CBS Radio Network affiliation. As a result, WYSL picked up conservative talkers Laura Ingraham and Bill O'Reilly from the former WROC lineup and added Rusty Humphries and Jerry Doyle from Talk Radio Network to fill in the late evening gap, thereby transforming the station into a news-talker. WYSL shares some news staff with another small station, WSPQ in Springville, which the station refers to as its "Western New York bureau." WYSL was affiliated with ABC News Radio and the Wall Street Journal Radio Network, but switched to the Salem Radio Network for newscasts in 2012, following what Savage described as an unacceptably pro-Democratic bias in ABC's reporting of the 2012 Republican presidential primaries. WYSL increased its power from 2,500 watts to 20,000 watts in November 2006. 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「WYSL」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
