WDGY (740 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station licensed to Hudson, Wisconsin, and serving the Minneapolis-St. Paul radio market. It is owned by WRPX, inc. and airs a Classic Hits/Oldies radio format. The station's studios and offices are in Lake Elmo, Minnesota, while its transmitter is off Commerce Drive near Interstate 94 in Hudson.[2] This station is unrelated to the original WDGY, which was a popular Top-40 station in the area during the mid-late 1950s, '60s and '70s.
Because AM 740 is a Canadian clear channel frequency, WDGY is a daytime-only station. It must sign-off at sunset to prevent interfering with Class A CFZM in Toronto. WDGY can be heard around the clock on two FM translator stations: 92.1 W221BS from St. Paul and 103.7 W279DD from Hudson.[3] The station can also be heard on 107.1 KTMY's HD2 channel in the Twin Cities.[4]
