NYC's new "Party" adds a jock from predecessor "Pulse 87.7"

Published on Wednesday, November 04, 2009

That’s DJ Serge, and WPTY’s Vic Latino (Victor Canales) tells the Daily News there could be additional talent pickups from the now-defunct dance-music “Pulse.” On virtually no notice, the JVC group has taken over the lease of the audio of Channel 6 WNYZ-LP from owner Island Broadcasting. Negotiations began after the 5pm Friday signoff of Pulse, whose parent had financial problems. JVC is now simulcasting its Hamptons-market WPTY (105.3) on 87.7 in the Big Apple. Latino says “We’re not kidding ourselves. We know this is a tough frequency."
