History

The station was originally assigned the call letters WCEE-LP on June 18, 2002. On March 31, 2005, the station changed its call sign to WGRZ-LP. On March 12, 2007, it changed again to the current WGRV. However, as of March 25, 2013 the station went off the air and has filed a STA to remain dark for six months. [3]

As of November 9, 2013, WGRV-LP remains silent, with no immediate plans to resume broadcasting. The station is currently listed in the FCC database as "licensed and silent." [4] According to a message on the station's web site, the station is off the air indefinitely due to life changes and health issues among the station's key staff.

WGRV-LP's call sign was deleted and its license cancelled by the FCC on June 24, 2014. The record can be viewed using the FCC's CDBS station search tool using the call letters DWGRV-LP. The "D" at the front stands for "deleted". The FM translators that were part of the network are still licensed, but since they have also been silent for more than a year, the law requires that the FCC delete them as well unless they have switched inputs and are rebroadcasting another station.

Awards

The station was nominated for the Smooth Jazz Radio Station Of The Year by Radio and Records magazine in 2006 and 2007. [5] [6]

KNIK-LD is a low-power television station in Anchorage, Alaska, United States, which is currently silent. The station was one of very few low-power television stations that operated predominantly as a radio station by way of the fact that many FM radio receivers can tune in a VHF channel 6 television audio carrier at 87.75 MHz. This technique is made more potent due to a formerly unforeseen interpretation of deregulatory language in FCC low-power television station regulations:

Sec. 73.653 Operation of TV aural and visual transmitters.

The aural and visual transmitters may be operated independently of each other or, if operated simultaneously, may be used with different and unrelated program material.
