Y107 is I beleive a trimulcast of WWVY Hampton Bays, NY; WWXY Briarcliff
Manor, NY; and WWZY Long Branch, NJ. All are on 107.1. I remember reading
somewhere a year or two ago about the formation of this trimulcast (Daily
News or Airwaves, don't remember which). I understand that the three
stations cover the outskirts of NYC nicely but in NYC proper don't do much
signal-wise (all are Class As). I haven't ventured to NYC since 1989 (didn't
listen to much radio in the brief time I spent there, either), so I can't
say first hand....
