WNYG is a radio station serving the Long Island area with a contemporary Christian music format during the weekdays. Weekends consist of sermons by local preachers leasing air time.
Broadcasting on 1440 kHz, WNYG is operated by Free Indeed Broadcasting, who lease it from station owner Multicultural Broadcasting.
WNYG's daytime signal can be heard in both Nassau and Suffolk Counties, the southern coast of Connecticut and the Jersey Shore. Post-sunset, WNYG drops down to 38 watts -- enough to cover Babylon, its city of license. WNYG also brands itself as "The Spirit of New York" on the air.
The 1440 frequency signed on in 1958 as WBAB with 500 watts daytime only. It later became WNYG in 1976 after WBAB's companion FM station stopped simlcasting the 1440 signal.
Since WNYG's inception, two formats have been the longest lasting: the current Christian Contemporary format, and the previous Oldies format which ran from early January 1988 until April 17th, 1994.
