The mostly satellite and automated sports radio outlet is co-owned, along with sister station WPIG, by Community Broadcasters, LLC, and operates on 1450 kHz. It is the oldest station in Cattaraugus County, signing on on December 11, 1934.^[1] It was affiliated with ABC since its days as the Blue Network; as of 2013, the station is the Cattaraugus County affiliate of ESPN Radio, taking over that affiliation from WGGO.
