WMBG (740 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station licensed in Williamsburg, Virginia, serving the Virginia Peninsula. WMBG is owned and operated by Gregory H. Granger.[2] It airs local news and talk, as well as a mix of adult standards, oldies, and classic hits formats.
The station operates with 500 watts omnidirectional by day. But because 740 is a clear-channel frequency reserved for Class A CFZM Toronto, WMBG must reduce power to 7 watts at night to avoid interference.[3]
WMBG programming is simulcast full time on an FM translator station, W228DX, 93.5 MHz.[4]
History
On November 14, 1959, the station first signed on as WBCI.[5] The station was owned by the Williamsburg Broadcasting Company.
