So the winner for the best X of York County is…
105.7 the X, a Citadel radio station based in Harrisburg. We’ll give them credit for York County, though, because we really don’t have a lot of Xs!
Update from Joan, Aug. 12, 2010: Many thanks to Ken Carson from WQXA, who pointed out that the X’s FCC broadcast license is for York. Those of you who are radio aficionados will know this is important legally and I appreciate Ken pointing it out. Their antenna and transmitter are on the hill behind the Harley-Davidson factory in Spring Garden Township, even though their broadcast facility is in Camp Hill. Just wanted to clarify. Thanks!
This was suggested by Mike, many thanks! It was a tough letter. Meanwhile, thanks to some good e-mails from John L., I now realize I can do a bunch of posts on radio in York County; history, format changes, etc. So look for some more on that topic in the weeks and months to come!
Anyway, now it’s time to start voting for your favorite Y and to post comments with suggestions for the best Z for next week’s poll, if you haven’t already. We’re almost done, guys, and I’m kinda sad!
My name is Joan and I'm a lifelong Yorker. Throughout high school and college, I swore I was getting out of here as soon as possible. Now, a few years later, I can't think of anywhere I'd rather be. I love my town. And, as a local editor, I hear every day how much you love your towns, too. So please, connect with me and let's share what makes life in York County great. I'm here to help you enjoy this place as much as I do!
