Station history
WNUZ is a full-service radio station licensed to serve the community of Gap, Pennsylvania, with a reach of Lancaster, Chester Southern Berks and Southeastern York Counties. WNUZ broadcasts in FM stereo from transmitter facilities located in Gap, Pennsylvania.
The station's original construction permit was granted on October 16, 2003, and initial broadcast took place shortly thereafter.
In fall 2008, the then-WLRI-LP began reading the Intelligencer Journal and Lancaster New Era newspapers on the air, under an exclusive agreement with Lancaster Newspapers, Inc. (now known as "LNP Media Group"). In summer 2010, WLRI-LP began reading the Sunday News newspaper. All three newspapers were renamed in 2014 and now go by "LNP" and "LNP Sunday News" respectively. LNP notified WNUZ by U.S. Mail in June 2024 that as of July 2024 they would no longer provide WNUZ with a newspaper to broadcast.
On July 12, 2004, WLRI began airing programming from the Pacifica Radio Network and other community and non-commercial sources worldwide, along with live "in studio" news, weather, traffic and current affairs. Additional programming offerings from Pacifica Radio Network, WYD Media Management, Dan Delgado, SM Radio Productions, Mythical Intelligence, Inc., and Democracy Now! supplement daytime and some weekend on-air programming.
On March 17, 2015, WLRI filed for a new construction permit to relocate the transmitter and improve its overall service area. The application was granted by the Federal Communications Commission on March 19, 2015.
On March 28, 2015, WLRI was granted permission to relocate and increase TPO to 250 watts and ERP to 100 watts.
On April 20, 2015, control of WLRI was transferred to WLRI Incorporated, a non-membership, non-profit private Pennsylvania corporation following the consummation of its previous licensee.
On June 15, 2015, WLRI began operating at full power and applied for license to cover, subsequently granted.
On May 6, 2016, WLRI announced that it began establishing an online public file and virtual front desk in compliance to Federal Communications Commission rule-makings passed in early 2016.
WNUZ does not authorize use of its callsign and is the sole holder of WNUZ, therefore does not use the LP suffix except on the air when legally required for on-air identification. The station branding of LanChester NUZ 92.9 and WNUZ began with the selection of the callsign in June 2020.
Network affiliations
On October 1, 2010, WNUZ officially became the first Pacifica Radio Network station in Southeastern Pennsylvania.[4] It also airs the Thom Hartmann Show and the Stephanie Miller Show, Free Speech TV, Global Community Radio, On The Farm Radio and Keystone State News Connection reports.
