WSPJ-LP is a community low power FM ("LPFM") radio station preparing to sign on in Syracuse, New York, covering much of the metro area. It is owned by Syracuse Community Radio, Inc.

History

Syracuse Community Radio (SCR) was officially founded in 1994 to apply for a license to bring community radio to Syracuse's FM dial. The project grew out of organizing by the Westcott Nation Music Association that included micro-radio in the Westcott neighborhood (1990-91) and a community television audio feed on Time Warner Cable. The organization was active for two years before incorporating in 1994.

SCR currently operates WXXE 90.5 FM, which covers an area on the far eastern edge of the Syracuse metropolitan area. WSPJ-LP plans local news and commentary, local music, youth programming and other content. "SCR has consistently provided this programming in the past," it told the FCC, "but over a very limited signal area at the outer fringe of the Syracuse area, resulting in greatly hampered listenership and participation." ^[1]

The station intends to sign on sometime in 2015 and states this new signal will be replacing their existing WXXE facility, because the FCC won't allow them to own both. They have also been approved for an FM translator that will rebroadcast the WSPJ-LP signal on 93.5 FM over the City of Syracuse, while the 103.3 FM signal will primarily cover the northern suburbs.
