WGNY (1220 AM) is a commercial radio station broadcasting an oldies format. Licensed to Newburgh, New York, the station serves Orange, Dutchess and Putnam Counties. Most of the playlist is hits from the 1960s with some 50s and 70s titles. It is owned by the Sunrise Broadcasting Corporation with studios in New Windsor.[2]
By day, WGNY transits 10,000 watts. As 1220 AM is a clear channel frequency reserved for Class A station XEB Mexico City, WGNY reduces power at night to 180 watts to avoid interference. It uses a directional antenna with a three-tower array. The transmitter is on Rock Cut Road in Orange Lake.[3] Programming is also heard on 250-watt FM translator W287CY at 105.3 MHz in Newburgh.
