WNGN (91.9 MHz) is a listener-supported, non-commercial FM radio station licensed to Argyle, New York, and serving the Saratoga Springs and Glens Falls areas of New York. The station is owned by Northeast Gospel Broadcasting Inc.[2] It airs a mix of Christian talk and teaching programs and contemporary Christian music. The studios are on King Road in Buskirk.
WNGN is a Class A FM station with an effective radiated power (ERP) of 2,000 watts. The transmitter tower is on Street Road in Argyle.[3] WNGN is also simulcast on a Massachusetts FM station and on two FM translators in the region.
History
[edit | edit source]The station, while it was still a construction permit, was assigned the call letters as WZYB on May 7, 1992. On September 1, 1993, the station changed its call sign to WNGX.[4]
It officially signed on the air in August 1994.[5] On July 13, 1998, the call letters became WNGN.[4]
In 2009, WNGN announced that two new affiliated stations would go on the air: WNGB (91.3 FM) in Petersham, Massachusetts, and WNGF (89.9 FM) in Swanton, Vermont.[6] In August 2013, Northeast Gospel Broadcasting reached a deal to sell WNGF to Christian Ministries.[7]
