Rochester Radio Stations

Rochester has 18 active full-power AM and FM stations whose FCC city of license is Rochester, New York: six on the AM band and twelve on FM. The local dial includes news and sports talk, public radio, classical music, alternative and college programming, Christian teaching, country, rock, contemporary hits, and locally owned urban radio.

We manually matched every FCC facility to its current station identity and checked online listening on July 29, 2026. Sixteen listings have a verified HTTPS stream. Five Audacy streams are limited to listeners in the United States. WXXI News is intentionally listed on both 1370 AM and 105.9 FM because the FM station is an official 24-hour simulcast of the AM service.

WDCX 990 and WIRQ 90.9 remain useful frequency listings, but their station pages are not being published yet: WDCX did not expose a stable direct stream for this player, while WIRQ's official link currently uses HTTP rather than a secure HTTPS connection. This directory follows FCC city of license, so stations licensed to nearby communities will appear on their own city pages and later in the broader Rochester market guide.
