WTRY-FM (98.3 MHz, "98-3 TRY"), is a commercial radio station licensed to Rotterdam, New York. It airs a classic hits format (and Christmas music from early-November until December 25 or 26). WTRY-FM serves the New York State Capital District in the Albany-Schenectady-Troy radio market. The station is owned by iHeartMedia, and broadcasts at 6,000 watts ERP from a tower in between Altamont and Duanesburg off U.S. Route 20.[2] Studios and offices are on Troy-Schenectady Road (Route 7) in Latham.[3]
The classic hits format on WTRY-FM is a direct continuation of the oldies format which was previously heard on AM 980. The original WTRY was a highly popular Top 40 station in the Albany market through the 1960s and 1970s, moving over to oldies in the 1980s and 1990s, and today is sports radio 980 WOFX.
