WYNY at 103.5 was the last New York City radio station to play country music. In early 1996 it became WKTU. There were 4 suburban stations at 107.1 FM that played country music from 1998 to 2003, but there was a very weak signal into Queens. I must get a weekly dose of Country music on the radio. Right now I am listening to Willies Place on Sirius/XM. I can also get country music on WLTW-HD2 and on numerous internet streams including terrestrial stations from other cities. There was an announcement today that there will be a new country music stream suited to NYC called the Elephant on WORCountry. I will have to check it out.Bruce Slutsky was born in New York City in 1949. I retired 8 years ago after working as a Science/Engineering Librarian at the New Jersey Institute of Technology in Newark for 25 years. I was married to Karen until she passed away in February 2021. I have a son Lee who is now 37 years old. I am very much interested in the popular music of the 1960s, especially Bob Dylan and the Beatles. I am interested in rock and roll radio. I am an enthusiastic fan of the New York Mets.
