History	The first station on this frequency, the ILGWU`s WFDR-FM, was on the air from May 18, 1949 to February 15, 1952. The station signed on again on December 1, 1956 as WFMX, a classical music station broadcasting from the Pierre Hotel. It was the first station in the New York area to use multiplexing.
