WSGO (1440AM) is acommercial radio station,licensed toOswego, New York, and serving the northern suburbs of theSyracuse metropolitan area. The station is owned byGalaxy Media Partners and airs asports radioformat.
The station, like most of Galaxy Media Partners' Oswego cluster, is a direct repeater of a Syracusesister station, in WSGO's case,WTLA (1200 AM).[2] Like WTLA, itsimulcasts its programming full-time on a 220-wattFM translator,W261AC, on 100.1MHz).[3]
WSGO operates with 1,000 watts by day. At night, when radio waves travel farther, it reduces power to 45 watts to avoid interfering with other stations onAM 1440. It uses anon-directional antenna at all times, located on Dutch Ridge Road in Oswego, adjacent to Route 481.[4]
WSGO and WTLA have two local weekday sports shows, in middays and afternoondrive time. The rest of the schedule features programming fromESPN Radio, theSyracuse ISP Sports Network (carryingSyracuse University sports), theNew York Giants Radio Network and theNFL on Westwood One.[5] They had previously carriedNew York Mets baseball games until theNew York Mets Radio Network was discontinued in 2019 due to the high cost of satellite time.
WSGOsigned on the air on March 6, 1961.[6] It was owned by Clifford C. Harris and the studios were in the Pontiac Hotel. Originally WSGO was adaytimer, required to go off the air at sunset to avoid interfering with other radio stations onAM 1440 at night when radio waves travel farther. In the 1990s, it got permission from theFederal Communications Commission to stay on the air at night, but at only 45 watts.
In 2000, it was acquired by Galaxy Communications.[7] The studios and offices were relocated to Syracuse and WSGO became a full timesimulcast station to 1200 WTLA. For a time, it aired anadult standards format, from the "Music of Your Life" network. It switched tosports radio in 2010,affiliating withESPN Radio.
