WENU (1410AM) is aradio station broadcasting asoft oldies format simulcastingWROW out ofAlbany. Licensed toSouth Glens Falls, New York, United States, the station serves theGlens Falls area. Established in 1988 as WSTL, the station is owned byPamal Broadcasting.^[3]

The 1410 frequency went on the air as WSET in 1959, programming amiddle of the road format; for a time, the station studios were located in the Queensbury Hotel in Glens Falls. In 1965, WSET changed its call letters to WBZA; the new call letters arose from the station owner's respect forWBZ in Boston. WSET and WBZA broadcast at 1410 AM with a "daytime only" license from theFederal Communications Commission (FCC). At sunset each day, the station would leave the air until the next day at 6am. In 1971, the format was flipped toTop 40. During the later 1970s, WBZA evolved to more of anadult contemporary format, and it eventually changed frequencies to 1230, in late 1982; that station is nowWMML, a sister station to WENU.

From 1982 to 1988, the 1410 frequency previously occupied by WBZA was off the air, until returning ascountry music station WSTL in 1988. The station took on the WBZA call letters in early January 1998, and changed again in September 2000 to the current WENU.^[4]

During the early 2000s, WENU was a simulcast of WENU-FM, nowWNYQ, with anadult standards format. When the FM changed toAC, WENU remained with adult standards. More recently,^[when?] WENU flipped to aclassic country format.

On January 30, 2012, WENU, along with sister station WMML, signed off the air, as the antenna inQueensbury, 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 March 15, 2012, and a greater focus on community news coverage. WENU's new signal allows people in northernWarren County and southernSaratoga County to hear the station.

WENU's classic country format came to an end on February 22, 2013; the following day, the station switched to asports radio format supplied byCBS Sports Radio. On January 3, 2019, WENU dropped CBS Sports Radio and began simulcastingWROW, its sister station inAlbany which carries asoft oldies format.
