WFEX World Foreign Exchange

In finance, a foreign exchange service provides clients with an on-line platform to trade currency, such as the U.S Dollar and the Euro. Clients may hedge against, or more likely speculate upon, changes in the exchange rate for different currencies.

The small "retail traders" who are likely to use these services are often the target of forex scams. The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission, which loosely regulates many foreign exchange traders in the U.S., has warned of an increase in the number of these scams.

In telecommunication, a foreign exchange service (FX) is a network-provided service in which a telephone in a given local area is connected, via a private line, to a central office in another, i.e., "foreign", exchange, rather than the local exchange area's central office.

To call originators, it appears that the called party having the FX service is located in the foreign exchange area.

Radio

WFNX is a New England commercial alternative rock radio station. With studios located in Lynn, Massachusetts, the station's primary audience is based in Boston, Massachusetts, where it broadcasts on 101.7 MHz. WFNX is also simulcast on two other New England radio stations, both broadcasting on 92.1 MHz: WFEX in Peterborough, New Hampshire (serving Manchester, NH) and WPHX-FM in Sanford, Maine (serving Portsmouth, NH and Portland, ME).

WFNX is owned by publisher Stephen M. Mindich's company, the Phoenix Media/Communications Group, and promoted as the broadcast cousin of the Boston Phoenix, Mindich's long-running alternative media newspaper.

Colloquially referred to as "FNX", the station began broadcasting on Monday, April 11, 1983. It was one of the first American commercial stations to play alternative rock. WFNX brands itself "the true alternative", an attempt to contrast itself from larger rock music rival WBCN. WFNX offers a more eclectic playlist, giving substantial airtime to less mainstream artists and even some local bands. WFNX also prides itself on being independent, unlike WBCN and WAAF which are owned by CBS Radio and Entercom respectively.

History

101.7FM began as the FM outfit of the Lynn-based WLYN located at 25 Exchange Street in Lynn. (25 Exchange Street continues to be the studio for WFNX.)

WLYN-FM for years simulcast WLYN-AM during the day and had its own programming after the AM signed off at sunset.

By the late 1970s, WLYN-FM had begun broadcasting ethnic programming in the midday hours, with drive times still simulcast with the AM. In 1981, WLYN-FM began broadcasting a nighttime block of new wave music which eventually became a 24/7 alternative music format in 1982, known as "Y102". The midday ethnic programs were moved to the AM where they continue to air to the present day.

In the spring of 1983, WLYN-FM was sold to the Phoenix Media/Communications Group and became WFNX, retaining for the most part the format that had been launched by the previous owners.

Signal Upgrade and Ratings Growth

On March 30, 2006, WFNX got a major signal upgrade, doubling its power and receiving permission from the FCC to begin broadcasting from its new antenna located atop One Financial Center in downtown Boston. To promote its signal upgrade in downtown Boston, WFNX sold all of its commercial ad time to beverage maker Snapple from Memorial Day, May 29 through Independence Day, July 4, 2006 (both are national holidays in the United States). The unique deal allowed the station to eliminate traditional commercial breaks for that time.

The combination of WFNX's signal upgrade and the departure of Howard Stern from WBCN resulted in a significant ratings change in the core rock 18-34 demographic in Boston in 2006. Arbitron Ratings four ratings books in 2006 (Fa05, Wi06, Sp06, Su06) showed that WFNX's weekday 18-34 audience ratings had increased by 33% over 2005, while WBCN's 18-34 ratings decreased by 37% from 2005.

Trivia

Nirvana's 1993 Nevermind It's an Interview limited-edition promotional release on Geffen Records was produced and engineered at the station by Kurt St. Thomas and Troy Smith. The original interview sessions were recorded by St. Thomas the night of Nirvana's first appearance on NBC's Saturday Night Live in 1992.
