WNGN (FM)
WNGN is a Class A FM station with an effective radiated power (ERP) of 2,000 watts. The transmitter tower is on Street Road in Argyle. WNGN is also simulcast on a Massachusetts FM station and on two FM translators in the region.
History
The station, while it was still a construction permit, was assigned the call letters as WZYB on May 7, 1992. On September 1, 1993, the station changed its call sign to WNGX.
It officially signed on the air in August 1994 . On July 13, 1998, the call letters became WNGN.
In 2009, WNGN announced that two new affiliated stations would go on the air: WNGB (91.3 FM) in Petersham, Massachusetts, and WNGF (89.9 FM) in Swanton, Vermont. In August 2013, Northeast Gospel Broadcasting reached a deal to sell WNGF to Christian Ministries.
