WRIP (RIP 97.9) is a Adult Contemporary station licensed to Windham, New York, serving the northern Catskill Mountains region and the Capital District in New York State. The station is locally owned and operated by Rip Radio LLC. WRIP broadcasts with the equivalent of 6000 watts of power from the top of Cave Mountain in Windham, 3085 feet above sea level. The station provides music, news, and weather information for residents and travelers in the Great Northern Catskills area, a popular skiing and vacation destination.
WRIP first signed on in August 1999 as the first radio station in Greene County based outside of Catskill. Initially, the station had a uniquely split format of adult contemporary weekdays and oldies weekends, however the division was later blurred.
