WSGO
WSGO (1440 AM) is a commercial radio station, licensed to Oswego, New York, and serving the northern suburbs of the Syracuse metropolitan area. The station is owned by Galaxy Media Partners and airs a sports radio format. The station, like most of Galaxy Media Partners' Oswego cluster, is a direct repeater of a Syracuse sister station, in WSGO's case, WTLA (1200 AM). Like WTLA, it simulcasts programming full-time on a 220-watt FM translator, W261AC, on 100.1 MHz). 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 on AM 1440. It uses a non-directional antenna at all times, located on Dutch Ridge Road in Oswego, adjacent to Route 481.
