WBGI (1340 AM) was an American radio station licensed to serve the community of Connellsville, Pennsylvania, approximately 40 miles (64 km) southeast of Pittsburgh. The station was last owned by Keymarket Communications, which also held the final broadcast license.[4] Long known as WCVI, WBGI fell silent after several years of simulcasting sister station WPKL in Uniontown, Pennsylvania, which aired, and continues to air, a classic hits radio format. Its license was cancelled on July 19, 2012.[3]
