Latest news and information about the station engineering. This page will be a up to date source of information about PPR’s station build-out which includes recording studio progress and transmitter(s) status.

12-12-11 : We began live streaming.  You can now listen to the station with CD quality sound.  In the near future we will broadcasting  on a am frequency yet to be determined.

9.19.2011- Hired a company in preparation of becoming a 100 Watt station. This will enable us to expand our broadcasting range into western Connecticut, Putnam County, and further west and north into Dutchess County.  New laws will allow the licensing of more LPFM (low power FM) stations.  We believe the window for a license will open in 2012, and we want to have all our ducks in a row, so when the time comes, we’ll be ready to move ahead.

Also, we are playing regularly scheduled music along with local programming and our website is averaging between 1500-2000 hits per month, with over 800 unique hits per month…Thank you!!

6.15.11 – Several changes made to the website to streamline the reader’s experience.
