In 1971, WRNW morphed to easy listening, then to Top 40 and in 1972, finally transitioned to a Progressive Rock format.

The word "finally" lends opinion to the above sentence as this was not the last format change for this station. Also:

Notable alums of the Mount Kisco and Briarcliff WRNW include Peter Salant, Vince Delisi, Russ Dibello, Thom Morrera, Bob Marrone, Kent Murphy, Donald Jay Barnett, Randy West, John Barracca, John Vidaver, Tim Powell, Harris Allen, Donna Halper and Lisa Karlan.

Notable by who? I have never heard of any of these people, are they notable, or is this a list of former station employees?

. . . "RNW" was an alliteration for "Radio In the Woods," a reference to the station's semi-rural location.

This is incorrect. Although the station briefly and informally referred to itself as "Radio in the Woods," the letters "RNW" were not formally associated with that phrase. Moreover, it was disliked by station owners who ordered it stopped and did not want a rural identity but were instead attempting to position the station as a suburban (not rural) alternative to New York stations.
