WRSB (1600 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station licensed to Brockport, New York, and serving the Rochester metropolitan area. The station broadcasts a Spanish tropical radio format and is owned by Brian McGlynn, through licensee Genesee Media Corporation. It is operated by William Santiago through his company Uno Communications.[2]
WRSB is powered at 300 watts day and 5 watts night both non-directionally. It was previously 1,000 watts, using a directional antenna with a three-tower array, to protect other stations on 1590 AM from interference. The transmitter is off Route 31 in Brockport. Programming is also heard on 250 watt FM translator W248BH at 97.5 MHz in Rochester. WRSB uses the FM dial position in calling itself "La Mega 97.5." It only refers to the AM station in its legal station identification once per hour.
