WABY (900 AM) is a commercial radio station licensed to Watervliet, New York, and serving the Capital District. The station broadcasts a 1990s-2000s rock radio format and is owned by Loud Media.[2]

By day, WABY transmits 400 watts.[3] Because 900 AM is a Mexican clear channel frequency, WABY must reduce power at night to 70 watts to avoid interference. It uses a non-directional antenna at all times. Programming is also heard on FM translator W230DK at 93.9 MHz in Albany.
