WKIP (1450 AM) is a commercial radio station licensed to Poughkeepsie, New York. The station is owned by iHeartMedia, and broadcasts at 1,000 watts from a two-tower array adjacent to its studios in the Arlington section of the Town of Poughkeepsie.[2] During daytime hours it uses a directional antenna, and changes to a non-directional antenna at night. An unusual switch from standard practice where many AM stations are non-directional by day and directional at night. Programming is also heard on FM translator W253BV at 98.5 MHz and on WJIP 1370 AM in Ellenville, New York.
Weekdays begin with a local morning show, "Hudson Valley Focus Live with Tom Sipos." The rest of the day features nationally syndicated programs, mostly from co-owned Premiere Networks, including Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, Mark Levin, Clay Travis & Buck Sexton, Jesse Kelly, Coast to Coast AM with George Noory and This Morning, America's First News with Gordon Deal. Weekends feature specialty programs including The Kim Komando Show, At Home with Gary Sullivan, The Weekend with Michael Brown, Rich DeMuro on Tech, Bill Handel on the Law, Sunday Night with Bill Cunningham, Somewhere in Time with Art Bell and The Jesus Christ Show with Neil Saavedra. Some weekend hours are paid brokered programming. Most hours begin with world and national news from Fox News Radio.
