would go on-air. 1970s In 1971 WOCR becomes available on TelePrompTer cable channel 6 in the city of Oswego, doubling the audience and improving opportunities for advertising sales. In 1974 a memorandum from college president James Purdue to Student Association President is leaked to WOCR. "Steps will be taken next year to prevent the student campus radio station from soliciting paid advertising. This they have done in the past without permission, and the result has been an over solicitation of people in the community for support of an unauthorized campus activity... I don't think the radio station is a good radio station and this bothers me because it does get out into the community." Additionally, the Student Association zeroes out the requested $10,000 budget request from WOCR, the Treasurer stating that President Purdue would veto the entire S.A. budget if WOCR was allocated funds before he had seen and approved the proposed WOCR programming structure for 1974-75. After Purdue has reviewed the station's plans for 1974-75 operation plans, the S.A. approves a $7500 austerity budget. The station was ordered off cable and the ability to sell advertising to the Oswego community was banned. At the time of the memo, annual advertising revenue was currently approximately $10,000. In 1977 acting College President Virginia Radley and SUNY approve a plan, allowing WOCR to once again sell commercial advertising to the Oswego community. 1990s In 1991, the State University of New York system applied for a construction permit for a new FM station at 88.9 MHz. The station received the call sign WNYO on December 13, 1991; it signs on April 29, 1992, serving as a successor to the carrier current station (which, in addition to WSEH and WOCR, had subsequently gone by WOZZ and WOSR). 21st century In 2011 WNYO moved from Simian Automation System to ENCO's DAD automation system. In 2018, WNYO renovated its studio in the Marano Campus Center. This renovation included a new main studio, two production studios, and keycard, 24-hour access door, making it a world class station in terms of equipment. WNYO began airing WRVO's Take Care on Sunday mornings and has started uploading podcasts to YouTube at this time as well. In 2021 WNYO transitioned from ENCO's DAD automation system to WideOrbit's Automation for Radio.
