“Trust not too rashly to face an index of an inward grace,” W. Hollar engraving from 18th-Century edition of Aesop’s Fables.

Frequency and Amplitude provides a rundown of some of what can be found on the NYC-area analog radio dial. We make no claim to be comprehensive. We don’t have the resources. This is a “labor of love” (if you define love as irrational dedication to something like radio). As we move forward, we are hoping to shore up some of our weak points; site design, lack of sports radio coverage, and other things.

We are looking for interesting writing about the radio and program reviews. Send queries, pics of radios and info about interesting programming to freq-amp@protonmail.com
