WENU (1410 AM) is a radio station broadcasting a Sports Radio format, affiliated with CBS Sports Radio and carries the entire CBS Sports Radio Network Lineup. Licensed to South Glens Falls, New York, USA, the station serves the Glens Falls area. The station is currently owned by Pamal Broadcasting and features programming from CBS Sports Radio .^[1]

History

The station went on the air as WSET in 1959, programming an MOR format, and for a time, the station studios were located in the Queensbury Hotel in Glens Falls, NY. In the 1960s WSET-AM changed its call letters to WBZA-AM. The new call letters arose from the station owner's respect for WBZ-AM, Boston. WSET and WBZA broadcast at 1410 AM with a "daytime only" FCC license. At sunset each day, the station would leave the air until the next day at 6am. In 1971, the format was flipped to Top 40. During the later 1970s, WBZA evolved to more of an adult contemporary format, and it eventually changed frequencies to 1230, in late 1982. From 1982-1988, the 1410 frequency previously occupied by WBZA was off the air, until returning as Country station WSTL, in 1988. The call letters reverted to WBZA on in early January 1998, and changed again in September 2000 to the current WENU.^[2]

For a time being, WENU was a simulcast of the FM station, now WNYQ, with an Adult Standards format. When the FM changed to AC, WENU remained with Adult Standards. More recently, WENU has flipped to a Classic Country format.

On January 30, 2012, WENU, along with sister station WMML, signed off the air, as the antenna in Queensbury, New York was torn down to allow a new antenna to be put up in place. WENU returned to the air with a new nickname, "The U" on Thursday, March 15, 2012 and a greater focus on community news coverage. WENU's new signal allows people in northern Warren County and southern Saratoga County to hear the station.

WENU's Classic Country Format came to an end on February 22, 2013 while CBS Sports Radio came on February 23, 2013 and The Jim Rome Show now airs Weekdays from 12:00-3:00 p.m.
