'''WAMC-FM''' (90.3 [[FM broadcasting|FM]]) is a [[non-commercial educational]] [[radio station]] licensed to [[Albany, New York]], United States, featuring a [[public radio]] format. Owned by "WAMC Northeast Public Radio" with a [[legal name]] of "WAMC", WAMC-FM's primary signal encompasses the [[Capital District, New York|Capital District]], along with parts of eastern New York, southern [[Vermont]], [[Western Massachusetts]] and the [[Litchfield Hills]] region as the regional affiliate for [[National Public Radio]] (NPR), [[American Public Media]], [[Public Radio Exchange]] and the [[BBC World Service]]. The station's reach is extended into west-central [[Connecticut]], [[northeastern Pennsylvania]] and the [[Monadnock Region]], [[Champlain Valley]], [[Skylands Region]] and [[North Country (New York)|North Country]] areas, along with portions of [[Quebec]], via a network of twelve full-power [[repeater]]s and sixteen low-power [[Broadcast relay station|translators]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Coverage Map {{pipe}} WAMC |url=http://www.wamc.org/coverage-map |access-date=May 6, 2012}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://wamc.org/frequencies|title=Frequencies|access-date=September 22, 2016}}</ref> One of these satellite stations operates on the [[AM broadcasting|AM band]], [[WAMC (AM)|WAMC ({{Frequency|1400|AM}})]] in Albany.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.wamc.org/coverage-map |title=Coverage Map {{pipe}} WAMC |access-date=May 2, 2014}}</ref>
Unlike many NPR stations around the U.S. which use mostly outside programming, much of WAMC's schedule is produced in-house. WAMC is a charitable, educational, non-commercial broadcaster meeting the requirements of Section [[501(c)(3)]] of the [[Internal Revenue Code]] (26 U.S.C. §501(c)(3))<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.guidestar.org/organizations/22-2400593/wamc.aspx |title=GuideStar Exchange Reports for WAMC |publisher=[[GuideStar]] |access-date=May 6, 2012}}</ref> It had total annual revenues for the fiscal year 2010 of $6.36&nbsp;million. The station operates The Linda, WAMC's Performing Arts Studio, near its Central Avenue studios in Albany. WAMC-FM's corporate officers include Dottie Reyonolds, chair of the board of trustees, and [[Alan S. Chartock]], past president and chief executive officer.
WAMC's current CEO and President is Sarah Gilbert, replacing Alan Chartock, who retired from the station in 2023.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.wamc.org/news/2023-05-25/after-four-decades-leading-wamc-president-and-ceo-dr-alan-chartock-retires|title=After four decades leading WAMC, President and CEO Dr. Alan Chartock retires|date=May 25, 2023|website=WAMC}}</ref>
==History==
{{More citations needed section|date=December 2017}}
===Albany Medical Center===
WAMC signed on the air in October 1958.<ref>[https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-BC-YB/1961-62/section%20B%20All%20Radio%20%20Broadcasting%20Yearbook%201961-1962-9.pdf Information] from [[Broadcasting Yearbook]] 1961-1962 page B-108</ref> Albert P. Fredette served as the first general manager. WAMC was put on the air by the local hospital and medical school, [[Albany Medical Center]] and [[Albany Medical College]]. Albany Medical Center is a large [[Health care|tertiary-care]] hospital serving the upper [[Hudson Valley]], and the medical school is one of the country's ACGME-accredited medical schools. The affiliation with Albany Medical College was the source of the [[call sign]] WAMC. In 1981, the station became an independent institution, no longer associated with the medical school.
In its early days, WAMC had a mostly classical music [[radio format]]. The earliest years also included broadcasts of health information and lectures from visiting medical professors. Early on, part of WAMC's regular programming was the broadcast of live concerts by the [[Boston Symphony Orchestra]] from [[Tanglewood]] and Boston. When the NPR network was founded in 1970, WAMC signed on as one of NPR's original 90 "charter" members.
===Separating from the medical school===
Around 1980, financial pressures caused the hospital and medical school to begin divesting the station. In 1981, the [[Federal Communications Commission]] (FCC) license on 90.3 FM was transferred to a 501c3 tax-exempt entity, WAMC, Inc., which had been set up by a group of five corporators, including [[Alan S. Chartock]], who became longtime CEO and President, retiring in 2023. WAMC was initially affiliated with the [[State University of New York]] and [[New York State government]].
In the years since the transfer, the station has eliminated classical music, except for live BSO concerts. It has become a producer of information-based, non-music programming, providing a variety of interview-format programs to radio stations across the country via the station's in-house subsidiary, National Productions. ([[WMHT-FM]] in nearby [[Schenectady]] and its network of repeater stations continues to program classical music in the region.)
===Expanding the network===
Listener contributions (often obtained during periodic pledge drives) and corporate contributions have helped the original single station grow over the years into a network of 22 facilities with large primary [[service contour]]s covering the [[Capital District, New York|Capital District]], the [[Adirondacks]] section of New York, [[Western Massachusetts]], Southern [[Vermont]], and parts of [[New Hampshire]], [[Connecticut]], [[Pennsylvania]] and [[New Jersey]].
It has been a custom on WAMC to play two songs to mark the end of every fund drive: [[Kate Smith]]'s "[[God Bless America]]" and [[Ray Charles]]' rendition of "[[America the Beautiful]]". The station's February 2017 fund drive raised over $1,000,000 in less than one day.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.timesunion.com/local/article/Thanks-to-anti-Trump-sentiment-WAMC-reaches-10912754.php|title=Thanks to anti-Trump sentiment, WAMC meets goal in 12 hours|work=Times Union|access-date=April 8, 2017}}</ref>
The main 90.3&nbsp;MHz signal has an [[effective radiated power]] (ERP) of 10,000 watts, which on paper is somewhat modest for a full NPR member on the FM band. However, its [[height above average terrain]] (HAAT) of {{Convert|600|m|ft|sp=us}} gives it one of the largest coverage areas of any NPR station in the Northeast. It provides at least grade B coverage to most of east-central New York (including the Capital District), southwestern Vermont, western Massachusetts, southwestern New Hampshire, and northwestern Connecticut.
===Mount Greylock===
While WAMC-FM is based in Albany, its [[transmitter]] is actually in [[Massachusetts]]. WAMC-FM's [[antenna tower]] is atop [[Mount Greylock]] in [[Adams, Massachusetts|Adams]], in the [[Mount Greylock State Reservation]]. It is the tallest mountain in Massachusetts. The transmitter had formerly been a tenant on the tower, which was built and maintained by the Albany [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC-TV]] affiliate [[WTEN]] (channel 10) for its [[satellite station]] for the Berkshire region and Pittsfield, WCDC. WCDC had broadcast on channel 19 but that signal was shut down in 2017. The tower also features a radio facility for the [[Massachusetts State Police]] and a translator station for the Albany [[NBC]] affiliate, [[WNYT (TV)|WNYT]] (channel 13).
On December 22, 2017, WAMC entered into an agreement to purchase the Mount Greylock WCDC transmitter and tower from the owner of WTEN/WCDC, [[Nexstar Media Group]], for just above $1&nbsp;million. WCDC-TV had gone permanently [[dark (broadcasting)|silent]] on November 19, 2017, two weeks ahead of a planned December 1 shutdown amid declining over-the-air viewership, following damage to the station's transmission line in a storm. The TV station license was surrendered for cancellation on February 12, 2018, as a result of the FCC's 2016 spectrum auction for $34.5&nbsp;million in compensation. Due to the tower sitting on [[Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation]] land, as well as WTEN's lease on the land having expired two years prior, WAMC-FM could have been taken off the air if it had not purchased the facility. WAMC now owns the tower itself, but not the land beneath, which is under lease with the MDCR until 2025.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.berkshireeagle.com/stories/wamc-purchases-radio-tower-atop-mount-greylock,527769|title=WAMC purchases radio tower atop Mount Greylock|last=Fanto|first=Clarence|date=December 22, 2017|work=[[Berkshire Eagle]]|access-date=December 25, 2017}}</ref>
===Accusations of bias===
NPR's official news policy says its affiliate stations should be "fair, unbiased, accurate, honest, and respectful of the people that are covered".<ref>{{cite web |url=http://ethics.npr.org/ |title=NPR Ethics Handbook {{pipe}} How to apply our standards to our journalism. |publisher=[[NPR]] |access-date=May 6, 2012}}</ref> A Washington-based NPR news producer, who requested anonymity, stated that Chartock, the station's then-president and a frequently heard voice on the station, presented politically-biased commentary.<ref name="multiple"/>
Chartock responded that WAMC's editorial neutrality is maintained by "including as many conservative commentators on the air as liberal ones".<ref name="multiple">{{cite news |title=Locally Grown |first=Gadi |last=Dechter |url=http://www2.citypaper.com/news/story.asp?id=10286 |newspaper=[[Baltimore City Paper]] |date=July 13, 2005 |access-date=May 7, 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20051225015827/http://www.citypaper.com/news/story.asp?id=10286 |archive-date=December 25, 2005  }}</ref>
===First Amendment Fund===
In 2005, WAMC's board of trustees established a "First Amendment Fund" to promote and preserve [[the First Amendment]] and the right of [[free speech]] by providing a source of funding "to support WAMC if special situations or needs should arise". The contributions in this "unrestricted, board designated" fund reported on WAMC's 2006 [[IRS tax forms]] was $482,577.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.wamc.net/WAMC990-2006.pdf|title=WAMC's IRS Form 990 for Fiscal 2006 (page 35)}}</ref>
