WBVG (1050 kHz) was an AM radio station licensed to Baldwinsville, New York serving the Syracuse metropolitan area. WBVG was last owned by Leatherstocking Media Group and aired a 1950s - 1960s oldies radio format. The transmitter was on Hencle Boulevard (Route 631) in Baldwinsville.[1]
WBVG was powered at 2,500 watts by day. But because AM 1050 is a clear channel frequency, WBVG reduced power at night to only 19 watts to avoid interference. Outside of Baldwinsville, the 1050 frequency in Central New York at night is either occupied by WEPN New York City or CHUM Toronto, both 50,000 watt stations. They sometimes were heard over WBVG at night, even a mile or two from its transmitter.
