WRNY (1350 kHz) is an American AM radio station in Rome, New York. The station was owned by Clear Channel Communications until September 2007, when ownership was transferred to Galaxy Utica as a result of Clear Channel's decision to "go private".[2] The station had been acquired by Clear Channel from Dame Media in June 1999.

WRNY also simulcasts on WTLB (1310 AM) in Utica, New York, and translator station W243DY (96.5 FM). All three stations are affiliated with ESPN Radio.

WTLB has been granted an FCC construction permit to decrease day power to 2,600 watts and decrease night power to 38 watts. The antenna pattern will change from directional to nondirectional.[3]
