WSNI (97.7 FM, "Sunny 97.7") is a radio station licensed to serve Keene, New Hampshire. The station is owned by Monadnock Radio Group, a division of Saga Communications, and licensed to Saga Communications of New England, LLC. It airs an adult contemporary music format, via Citadel Media's Hits & Favorites service.[2]
History [link]
The station's original construction permit was granted on February 1, 1980[3], with the call letters WXYW assigned on October 28; this was changed to WINQ-FM on December 29, 1982.[1] It took to the air in February 1983[4], though a license to cover was not issued until May 25, 1984.[5] (The "-FM" suffix was dropped on May 13, 1991.)[1]
WINQ was originally licensed to Winchendon, Massachusetts, and primarily targeted its programming to northern Worcester County. Initially, WINQ offered an easy listening format, airing primarily vocals, as well as several instrumentals an hour. In 1987, the station segued to an adult contemporary format; this gave way to an oldies format two years later. In 1993, WINQ again changed its format, this time to hot adult contemporary.
Saga purchased the station in 2003[6] and began to reorient WINQ to the Keene area. After a brief stint simulcasting WKBK's news/talk format, the station became a country station that August.[7]
In early 2005, Saga swapped formats with its sister station on 98.7 FM, becoming WOQL, an oldies station. Around this time, WOQL relocated from its original transmitter near Winchendon to Fitzwilliam, New Hampshire, improving its signal in Keene.[8]
The station changed its call letters to WSNI on October 16, 2006[1], prefacing its change to the current adult contemporary format at the end of 2006.[9] WSNI then continued its relocation into Keene; it changed its city of license to Swanzey and relocated its transmitter to Keene in November 2007[10], and again changed its city of license, this time to Keene itself, in late 2008.[11]

WRFF
WRFF (104.5 FM, "Radio 104.5") is an American broadcast radio station located in and licensed to serve Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The station is owned by iHeartMedia, broadcasts a modern rock music format, and is known on-air as "Radio 104.5." A transmitter tower for the station is located in the Roxborough section of Philadelphia, and its studios are located in Bala Cynwyd.
History
WRCP-FM
104.5 FM first signed on in February 1965 as WRCP-FM simulcasting WRCP/1540. Both stations offered MOR formats. The stations were owned by Associated Communications, a subsidiary of Rust Craft Greeting Cards. In 1967, the stations switched to country music formats. Tightened Federal Communications Commission (FCC) restrictions on AM-FM simulcasting led to a new format for the FM in 1977.
WSNI, first time
104.5 FM broke away from WRCP in 1977 and became WSNI. WSNI initially had a soft country/easy listening hybrid format before evolving to instrumental-based easy listening.
On January 1, 1980, WSNI became known as "Sunny 104" at first, then later "Sunny 104 1/2," and eventually "Sunny 104.5," a name which was reused later on in the station's history. "Sunny" dumped easy listening in favor of an Adult Contemporary format playing the Top 40 hits of the 1960s, Top 40/Adult contemporary crossovers of the 1970s, and the Adult Contemporary hits of the 1980s up to and including then-current product.

How Things Are
by: ZwanAway i fall to you
To stay silent no more
Anyone with a clue wouldn't do as i've done
But the fear that you know is the fear you become to love
I want to say
I want to go
I'm so afraid
To be alone
All right, it's time for the truth
My love means more than i ever will
Anyone this confused needs someone show them the way to
If i just find the strength to forget myself
I want it all
I want nothing
I'm so afraid
I'm so afraid
I want to stay
I want to go
I'm so afraid
To be alone
Is this how my life is supposed to be
It's not enough, but too much for my heart to hold
Is this how my life is supposed to be
