WMHT-FM
Encyclopedia : W : WM : WMH : WMHT-FM
WMHT-FM broadcasts classical music and NPR programming on 89.1 MHz in Schenectady, New York, and has been doing so since 1972. It has a timeshare with WRHV in Poughkeepsie, New York, which is the radio service of the State University of New York at New Paltz, along with a simulcast on WBKK, a radio station in Amsterdam, which once broadcast classical music itself until October 2005. On March 6, 2006, WBKK stopped simulcasting WMHT-FM and put on its own, younger-oriented classical music programming as "Classical 97.7."
WMHT-FM's signature program is "Bach's Lunch," a program originally conceived by Pam Mittendorff and Chris Wienk of WSHU-FM. Wienk brought the program to WMHT-FM in 2002 after it stopped airing on WSHU-FM in Fairfield.
RISE
WMHT also provides an information service for those who are blind and "print-disabled" known as RISE, which has been in operation since 1978. RISE programming is on the subcarriers of both WMHT-FM and WRHV-FM (even when WRHV-FM is not on the air).
