History

WOPG is the newest radio station in the Mohawk Valley region, having signed on November 3, 2010. The station is a rimshot into both Albany, New York and Utica, New York, and broadcasts from studios located at the St. Stanislaus School in Amsterdam, New York at a former microwave tower located near Cherry Valley, New York.^[1]

In October 2013, Pax et Bonum announced that it would acquire WDDY (1460 AM) from The Walt Disney Company; upon the deal's completion, that station was renamed WOPG and became a simulcast of WOPG-FM. Concurrently, the station relocated its studios to the 1460 transmitter site in Delmar, New York. The acquisition was made to improve WOPG's reception in the Capital District, which has been affected by terrain.^[2]
