From Bill Baker at WCNY:
CLASSIC FM, Public Broadcasting from Syracuse, NY, WCNY-FM, has been filling the needs of classical devotees in the Kingston, Gananoque, Inverary, Brockville region and beyond for some time, now. The tower near Watertown reaches across the St. Lawrence quite nicely, attracting listeners with whole works and a variety of eras, composers, ensembles, and announcements regarding musical events in the region. It’s a great pleasure to serve the needs of such appreciative listeners (and now many station members!) in Southern Ontario.

If I understand correctly, CLASSIC FM, Public Broadcasting from Syracuse, NY, WCNY-FM does not have any new signals or stations but they are just commenting on being happy to be getting new members from Canada from their station in Watertown, NY?
In other news WQXR New York Cities Classical station is buying WDFH 90.3 OSSINING, NY. They filed the fcc transfer application yesterday 5/1/2013. Currently WDFH is 476 ft. 53w DA A but the sales contract says they want to apply to upgrade WDFH to 250 watts. The WDFH website says WDFH currently serves 400,000 people in the northern New York City suburbs. Looking at coverage maps WQXR currently reaches everywhere WDFH does but the WQXR signal is weaker there. Upgrading to 250 watts should greatly help. If the FCC denies the upgrade the sales contract says the sale is off.
Also commercial classical station WBACH-FM in Maine recently added a 250 watt translator at 96.9 in Portland, ME simulcasting the HD2 full power signal from WTHT 99.9. http://www.wbachradio.com/.
