WFME-FM (106.3 FM) is a radio station airing Christian music and teaching programs. Licensed to Mount Kisco, New York in the United States, the station serves northern Westchester and Putnam counties. The station is owned by Family Radio.
Family Radio has applied to the Federal Communications Commission for permission to program the station with Family Radio's non-commercial religious format from its former 94.7 FM station's studios in West Orange, New Jersey, and in a public statement, Charlie Menut, Family Radio's regional vice president and former station manager/chief engineer for Newark, New Jersey's WFME (now WNSH), stated before that station signed off that WDVY would assume the WFME call-sign until a new suitable AM station in the New York City tri-state area could be acquired. On February 10, 2015, Family Radio was granted the purchase of WQEW (now WFME), 1560 AM. Family Radio did not cease transmitting WFME-FM, so WFME AM and FM started simulcasting each other on February 28, 2015, with the AM signal restoring the station's reach to the New York City metropolitan area that it had lost when Family Radio sold 94.7 FM.
WFME (1560 AM) is a religious-formatted broadcast radio station located in New York City; it operates as a Class A station on a clear channel frequency with 50,000 watts (50 kilowatts) of power. The station is owned and operated by Family Radio, a Christian radio ministry based in Oakland, California. The station's studios and offices are located in West Orange, New Jersey, and its transmitters are based in the Maspeth section of the New York City borough of Queens.
WFME began operations as W2XR, an experimental television station, owned by inventor John V. L. Hogan, operating at 2100 kHz, which went on the air on March 26, 1929. Hogan was a radio engineer who owned many patents, and wanted a permit for an experimental station. To avoid interference, the frequency granted in 1934 by the Federal Radio Commission was considerably above the normal broadcasting range, which at that time ended at 1500 kilocycles. Hogan's permit was one of four construction permits; the others, all granted on the same day, were W1XBS Waterbury and W9XBY Kansas City, both on 1530 kHz, and W6XAI Bakersfield, which shared 1550 kHz with W2XR. W2XR was licensed as an "experimental broadcast station" on June 29, 1934. But Hogan was also a connoisseur of music, and he drew on his own record collection to provide the sound for his experiments, which typically lasted for an hour in the evening. W2XR began to broadcast classical music recordings on 1550 kHz. His television broadcasts came to naught, but Hogan began to hear from unknown individuals who encouraged him to continue broadcasting music.
I can see it
It's funny man
Cause it's like it's not going nowhere
And you gon' see it wherever there's struggle
[Once in a while I do look at you]
I see my pain in your eyes man
[To see that twinkle in your eyes]
So I know you're feelin' me
It's that twinkle man
That sign of struggle
I've seen it
In me
Cause everyday I can't help but see it
People ain't satisfied
And you're hatin' your 9 to 5
and Everybody wanna live another life
But ain't no length you go or mountain you climb
Not to better your days
All That would do is leave room for people to say
"I guess you're livin' better now
Share a little bit of that cheddar now"
Cause I remember days back when
A brother was hustlin' and robbin' too
I done tossed the baretta now
On a whole nother level now
Still I can't enjoy my fame
Unless my people doin' the same
And gettin' money too
[Once in awhile I couldn't look at you]
Oh once in awhile
[and see the twinkle in your eyes]
And I can see that you don't ever wanna struggle no more
[Once in awhile I couldn't look at you]
Once in awhile
[and see the twinkle in your eyes]
And I can see that you don't ever wanna cry no more
Cause every time you ask me, I'm grindin'
It shouldn't have to be that way
You shouldn't have to pay my way
I shouldn't have to want for a brighter day
Got a little little problem on the way
Bounty hunters checkin' state to state
Child support lady on your case
Not to mention tickets you ain't never paid
Oh what must I do
that's what you'll be askin'
God please hold it down for me
Don't let Satan get the hold of me
I'm tryin' to tell you it can happen to me too
But it happened a lot worse to my brother
Muhammad thank God he recovered
[Once in awhile I choose look at you]
Once in awhile
[and see the twinkle in your eyes]
And I can see that you never wanna struggle no more
[Once in awhile I choose look at you]
Look in your eyes
[and see the twinkle in your eyes]
And I can see that you don't ever wanna cry no more
[Once in awhile I choose look at you]
'Cause I see your pain now
'Cause I see your pain now
I can feel you strain now
And I can see you cryin'
And inside you're dyin'
We're no longer the same now
But you got to make change now
[Once in awhile I do look at you]
Once in awhile
[and see the twinkle in your eyes]
And I can see that you don't ever struggle no more
[Once in awhile I do look at you]
Once in awhile
[and see the twinkle in your eyes]
And I can see that you don't ever wanna cry no more
Don't wanna cry no more
And I can see
That you don't ever want to struggle no more
