Connoisseur Media currently owns WALK (1370 AM), what other station do they own located in Hempstead, New York?
WALK (AM) WALK (1370 AM) is a radio station licensed to Patchogue, New York. The station, initially owned by the Suffolk Broadcasting Corporation, went on the air on Sunday April 20, 1952 from the infamous 'fish-bowl' studios on Colonial Drive in East Patchogue, New York. The station's studios would remain there for more than 62 years until they were sold to current owner Connoisseur Media. For years WALK played nothing but classical, big-band, and jazz. It was purchased in 1963 by the Island Broadcasting System along with its sister stations, WALK-FM Patchogue, New York & WRIV Riverhead, New York. Island Broadcasting was owned in part by NBC News anchorman Chet Huntley. WALK was one of the first stations on Long Island to run a full schedule of Christmas music during the holiday season. The Holiday format began in 1995. In later years it was run on both WALK AM & FM. It continues to run on WALK-FM annually from around Thanksgiving through Christmas. The station currently broadcasts an oldies format (that evolved from Adult Standards a few years ago gradually), simulcasting WHLI 1100 AM Hempstead, New York.
