WOPG-FM (89.9 MHz) is a Catholic radio station licensed to Esperance, New York, and owned by Pax et Bonum, Inc. The station primarily carries satellite-fed programming by EWTN Radio. It is simulcast with co-owned WOPG (1460 AM) in Albany. The radio studios and offices are on Kenwood Avenue in Bethlehem.^[2]

The station broadcasts at 1,400 watts effective radiated power (ERP) and serves the Mohawk Valley and Capital District.^[3]

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 and Utica, and has its transmitter at a former microwave tower located near Cherry Valley, New York.^[4]

In October 2013, Pax et Bonum announced that it would acquire WDDY (1460 AM) from The Walt Disney Company. WDDY had carried programming from Radio Disney; when that network decided to give up most of its radio stations, AM 1460 was available for purchase. 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-FM's reception in the Capital District, which is affected by terrain.^[5] For those listeners who cannot clearly receive the FM signal in the Capital District, they can still listen to 1460 AM.
