WBGK is an FM radio station licensed to Newport (village), New York. The station broadcasts a format known as "Bug Country," primarily consisting of the Real Country satellite format from ABC Radio. The station broadcasts at 99.7 MHz on the FM dial and is owned by Roser Communications Network, Inc. The station also has a simulcast with WBUG-FM (101.1) in Fort Plain, New York, though High School Football games are broadcast only on WBGK 99.7.

Though the station is licensed to the village of Newport, New York, the license states "Newport Village" as the city of license. There is no city or village in New York State called "Newport Village".

In November 2009, WBGK and WBUG dumped the Real Country format and swapped it with a continuous automated selection of country Christmas music, in preparation for a format switch to new country music after the holiday.
