WNYW (shortwave)

WNYW (Radio New York Worldwide) was a shortwave (also known as High Frequency) International Broadcast radio station, that transmitted from Scituate, Massachusetts, United States. During World War II, the station became important for the British and the Norwegian information services. On October 20, 1973, Family Stations, Inc., acquired the station to be part of its Family Radio network and changed the call letters to WYFR. Family Stations eventually progressively moved the transmitters to their current site in Okeechobee, Florida. The transmitter site in Scituate continued to operate until November 16, 1979, when it was switched off for the last time.
